Radiobiology
Radiobiology: the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living tissueIonizing radiation results in a localized absorption of a relatively large amount of energy in tissue.ave energy released in ionizing event in tissue
= 33 eV
typical chemical bond in tissue = 5 eV
(C=C bond energy = 4.9 eV)

Radiobiology
Types of Ionizing Radiation:
1. Electromagnetic Radiation
x-rays, gamma rays
![Page 7: Radiobiology and Physics in Cancer Treatment](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5563c7ced8b42abe468b4d0c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Radiobiology
Types of Ionizing Radiation:
2. Particles
charged: electrons, protons, particles, heavy nuclei
uncharged: neutrons

Critical Target of Radiation Treatment
DNA!
The biological effects caused by radiation result primarily from damage to the DNA.

Two Categories of Ionizing Radiation
1. Directly Ionizing Radiation– has sufficient kinetic energy to change the atomic structure of the material through which it passes, thereby producing chemical and biological changes; charged particles are in this category
![Page 10: Radiobiology and Physics in Cancer Treatment](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5563c7ced8b42abe468b4d0c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Two Categories of Ionizing Radiation
1. Directly Ionizing Radiation– has sufficient kinetic energy to change the atomic structure of the material through which it passes, thereby producing chemical and biological changes; charged particles are in this category
2. Indirectly Ionizing Radiation– does not produce chemical or biological damage directly, but rather gives up its energy in the release of energetic electrons that can then result in chemical and biological change; electromagnetic radiation is in this category

Direct Action of Photons
• incident photon releases energetic electron that then produces an effect in DNA
![Page 12: Radiobiology and Physics in Cancer Treatment](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5563c7ced8b42abe468b4d0c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Indirect Action of Photons• incident photon
ionizes water molecule resulting in hydroxyl radical ( ) which diffuses to and interacts with DNA
About 2/3 of x-ray damage to DNA is caused by the hydroxyl radical!
OH

Time Scale for Biological Effects

divide)

more
mutation resulting in inheritable changes
may take up to many generations

Damage to DNA
• double strand breaks are thought to be the most important contribution to cell killing, mutation, or carcinogenesis
• single strand breaks are readily repaired
DNA bases :adenine thymine guanine cytosine

The Cell Cycle
Teachline, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences)
Phases of the Cycle:•G1: growth and preparation of chromosomes for replication
• S: synthesis of DNA
• G2: preparation for mitosis
• M: the production of two separate cell nuclei (mitosis) and the subsequent pinching off of the cell membrane to produce two daughter cells (cytokinesis) (the M phase lasts about 1 h)

plating efficiency (70 colonies survive)

Radiosensitivity with Cell-Cycle Phase
* time scales have been adjusted to that the S phase is comparable in both cell lines
General Characteristics:
• cells are most sensitive around M
• resistance is usually greatest in latter part of S
• for longer G1 phases, early resistance is followed by sensitive period
• G2 is about as sensitive as M
(This is studied using the mitotic harvest technique.)
