Abstract

Background: The implementation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy (RT) continues to increase. Very limited in-vitro data on the interaction of ionizing radiation and magnetic fields (MF) have been published. In these experiments we focused on the radiation response in a MF of the TK6 human lymphoblastoid cells which are known to be highly radiosensitive due to efficient radiation-induced apoptosis. Methods: Clonogenicity was determined 12-14 days after irradiation with 1-4 Gy 6 MV photons with or without a 1.0 Tesla MF. Furthermore, alterations in cell cycle distribution and rates of radiation induced apoptosis (FACS analysis of cells with sub-G1 DNA content) were analyzed. Results: Clonogenic survival showed an exponential dose-dependence, and the radiation sensitivity parameter (α = 1.57/Gy) was in accordance with earlier reports. Upon comparing the clonogenic survival between the two groups, identical results within error bars were obtained. The survival fractions at 2 Gy were 9% (without MF) and 8.5% (with MF), respectively. Conclusion: A 1.0 Tesla MF does not affect the clonogenicity of TK6 cells irradiated with 1-4 Gy 6MV photons. This supports the use of MRI guided RT, however ongoing research on the interaction of MF and radiotherapy is warranted.
