Global standard fractionated radiotherapy (RT) for the treatment of malignancies consists of X-ray irradiation with 2-Gy/day, 5 days a week for 5-7 weeks. Recently, clinically relevant radioresistant (CRR) cells were first defined as cells that can continue to grow even after exposure to daily 2-Gy of X-rays for more than 30 days in vitro. To analyze the characteristics of radioresistant cancer cells, CRR oral cancer cells (CRR-OCCs) were established, and the expression level of interferon-stimulated exonuclease gene 20 (ISG20) was evaluated with qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical analysis. Our result revealed that the expression level of both ISG20 mRNA and its protein in CRR-OCCs were higher than those of corresponding parental cells. We concluded that ISG20 was statistically overexpressed in CRR-OCCs. ISG20 overexpression may be necessary for the radioresistant phenotype in CRR-OCCs, and targeting ISG20 of human cancer cells may lead to more efficient RT or chemoradiotherapy for eliminating cancer.
