Outline of Research at the Start

電離放射線照射時の細胞応答として,非照射細胞が照射細胞と同様の生物学的効果を示す細胞間シグナリングが近年注目されている。一方で,非照射細胞から照射細胞へのシグナル伝達によって誘発する放射線抵抗性(防御効果)も近年報告されているが,照射細胞と非照射細胞間の双方向のシグナル効果が放射線感受性へ与える影響に対する研究は不十分である。そこで本研究では,細胞実験とモデル研究を組合せた研究により,双方向の細胞間シグナルのメカニズム解明を試みる。本研究が完遂すれば,放射線防護や強度変調放射線治療(分割照射)時のより正確な正常組織へのダメージと治療効果を評価が可能となる。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we investigated the biological effects by intercellular signaling between irradiated and non-irradiated cells under non-uniform radiation fields from standpoints of cell experiments and computational science. Modifying an existing cell-killing model, we have developed a new model considering intercellular signaling between irradiated and non-irradiated cells. Using simple non-uniform radiation field, in which 50% area of cell culture flask was shielded, and complex clinical radiation fields, we also evaluated the impact of intercellular signaling on radiosensitivity. Through these studies, we have succeeded in developing a theoretical model that enables predicting tumor control and side effects of normal cells in intensity-modulated radiation therapy with high precision.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

染色体スケールの微視的エネルギー付与分布やDNA損傷応答、細胞間シグナリングを総合的に考慮して、不均一放射線照射後に発生する細胞死を再現する数理モデルの開発に成功した。様々な不均一放射線場にて変化する放射線感受性を高精度に予測可能な本研究のモデリングは、効率的な腫瘍制御法や正常細胞の副反応の評価を実現する基盤となるものである。今後本研究で得られた成果を基盤に研究を進展させることにより、放射線被ばく後の生物学的効果の正確な理解につながると考えられる。
