Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a preclinical study of BNCT, we focused on collecting target data using X - rays. Cell viability of pancreatic cancer cells (BxPC-3) decreased dose-dependently. D10 was 1.28 Gy, and it was clarified that frequency of apoptosis is increased at the dose level. Expression analysis of cell death related protein by Western blotting method also increased the expression of Bax, but did not increase the expression of Bcl - 2, caspase 9, cleaved PARP. Similar results were obtained in animal experiments. In breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), the cell viability decreased in a dose-dependent manner, D10 was 3.92 Gy, and it was revealed that the dose increased frequency of apoptosis.
