The study revealed significant heterogeneity in RBE values of proton and carbon-ion beams across various sarcomas and normal-tissue-derived cell lines, suggesting potential benefits of proton beam therapy for certain tumors and the need for dose adjustments based on RBE differences in carbon-ion therapy.
Simple Summary Using a consistent experimental protocol, we found a large heterogeneity in the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values of both proton and carbon-ion beams in various sarcomas and normal-tissue-derived cell lines. Our data suggest that proton beam therapy may be more beneficial for some types of tumors. In carbon-ion therapy, for some types of tumors, large heterogeneity in RBE should prompt consideration of dose reduction or an increased dose per fraction. In particular, a higher RBE value in normal tissues requires caution. Specific dose evaluations for tumor and normal tissues are needed for both proton and carbon-ion therapies. This study investigated variations in the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values among various sarcoma and normal-tissue-derived cell lines (normal cell line) in proton beam and carbon-ion irradiations. We used a consistent protocol that specified the timing of irradiation after plating cells and detailed the colony formation assay. We examined the cell type dependence of RBE for proton beam and carbon-ion irradiations using four human sarcoma cell lines (MG63 osteosarcoma, HT1080 fibrosarcoma, SW872 liposarcoma, and SW1353 chondrosarcoma) and three normal cell lines (HDF human dermal fibroblast, hTERT-HME1 mammary gland, and NuLi-1 bronchus epithelium). The cells were irradiated with gamma rays, proton beams at the center of the spread-out Bragg peak, or carbon-ion beams at 54.4 keV/mu m linear energy transfer. In all sarcoma and normal cell lines, the average RBE values in proton beam and carbon-ion irradiations were 1.08 +/- 0.11 and 2.08 +/- 0.36, which were consistent with the values of 1.1 and 2.13 used in current treatment planning systems, respectively. Up to 34% difference in the RBE of the proton beam was observed between MG63 and HT1080. Similarly, a 32% difference in the RBE of the carbon-ion beam was observed between SW872 and the other sarcoma cell lines. In proton beam irradiation, normal cell lines had less variation in RBE values (within 10%), whereas in carbon-ion irradiation, RBE values differed by up to 48% between hTERT-HME1 and NuLi-1. Our results suggest that specific dose evaluations for tumor and normal tissues are necessary for treatment planning in both proton and carbon-ion therapies.
