Purpose: Loss of the p53 tumor suppressor gene has been associated with tumor progression, disease relapse, poor response to antineoplastic therapy, and poor prognosis in many malignancies. We have investigated the contribution of p53-mediated radiation-induced apoptosis and G(1) arrest to the well described radiation resistance of glioblastoma multiforme (GM) cells.Methods and Materials: Radiation survival in vitro was quantitated using linear quadratic and repair-saturation mathematical models, Isogenic derivatives of glioblastoma cells differing only in their p53 status were generated using a retroviral vector expressing a dominant negative mutant of p53. Radiation-induced apoptosis was assayed by Flourescence-activated cell sorter (FAGS) analysis, terminal deoxynucleotide transferase labeling technique, and chromatin morphology. Cells were synchronized in early G(1) phase and mitotic and labeling indices were measured.Results: Radiation-induced apoptosis of GM cells was independent of functional mild-type p53 (wt p53). Decreased susceptibility to radiation-induced apoptosis was associated with lower alpha values characterizing the shoulder of the clonogenic radiation survival curve. Using isogenic GM cells differing only in their p53 activity, we found that a p53-mediated function, radiation-induced G(1) arrest, could also influence the value of a and clonogenic radiation resistance. Inactivation of wt p53 function by a dominant negative mutant of p53 resulted in a significantly diminished alpha value with no alteration in cellular susceptibility to radiation-induced apoptosis. The clonal derivative U87-LUX.8 expressing a functional wt p53 had an Eta alpha (Gy(-1)) value of 0.609, whereas the isogenic clonal derivative U87-175.4 lacking wt p53 function had an alpha (GS(-1)) value of 0.175.Conclusion: We conclude that two distinct cellular responses to radiation, p53-independent apoptosis and p53-dependent G(1)-arrest, influence radiobiological parameters that characterize the radiation response of glioblastoma cells, Further understanding of the molecular basis of GM radiation resistance will lead to improvement in existing therapeutic modalities and to the development of novel treatment approaches.
