CD133+ glioblastoma (GB) tumor stem-like cells (TSCs) have been defined as radioresistant. However, whereas previously classified relative to CD133− cells, the radiosensitivity of CD133+ TSCs with respect to the standard GB model, established glioma cell lines, has not been determined. Therefore, to better understand the radioresponse of this cancer stem cell, we have used established cell lines as a framework for defining their in vitro radioresponse. The intrinsic radiosensitivity of CD133+ TSC cultures and established glioma cell lines was determined by clonogenic assay. The TSCs and established cell lines were also compared in terms of DNA double strand break (DSB) repair capacity and cell cycle checkpoint activation. Based on clonogenic analysis, each of the six TSC cultures evaluated was more sensitive to radiation than the established glioma cell lines. Consistent with increased radiosensitivity, the DSB repair capacity as defined by neutral comet assay and γH2AX and Rad51 foci was significantly reduced in TSCs as compared to the cell lines. Whereas G2 checkpoint activation was intact, in contrast to the cell lines, DNA synthesis was not inhibited in TSCs after irradiation indicating the absence of the intra-S phase checkpoint. These data indicate that the mechanisms through which CD133+ TSCs respond to radiation are significantly different from those of the traditional GB in vitro model, established glioma cell lines. If TSCs play a critical role in GB treatment response, then such differences are likely to be of consequence in the development and testing of radiosensitizing agents.
