| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The hypoxic environment has changed responsiveness of tumors to radiotherapy in various ways. In this study, we examined whether control of tumor hypoxia contributes to sensitization of treatment. T98G and A172 glioblastoma cells survived under 1% hypoxia and continued to form spheroids in continuous culture for 2 weeks. Treatment of spheroids with hypoxic toxin tirapazamine (TPZ) at 40 μM significantly increased expression of L-amino acid transporter 1 (LAT 1), although no significant change was observed in cancer stem cell marker gene expression. LAT1 is involved in the uptake of drug BPA in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), suggesting the possibility of sensitizing BNCT by controlling hypoxia by TPZ.
