One of the challenges of radiation oncology in the era of personalized medicine is identification of biomarkers associated with individual radiosensitivity. The aim of research was to evaluate the possible clinical value of the associations between clinical, physical, and biological factors, and risk for development of acute radiotoxicity in patients with prostate cancer. The study involved forty four patients treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. The concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ and TGF-β1 were assessed before radiotherapy, after 5th, 15th and 25th radiotherapy fractions, at the end, and 1 month after the end of radiotherapy. Cytokine gene expression was determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The univariate analysis of circulating cytokine levels during radiotherapy showed that increased serum concentrations of IL-6 were significantly associated with higher grade of acute genitourinary toxicity. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that increased level of IL-6 during the radiotherapy was significantly associated with higher grade of acute genitourinary toxicity across treatment. TGF-β expression levels significantly decreased during course of radiotherapy. Research indicates that changes in circulating cytokine levels might be important parameter of radiotoxicity in patients with prostate cancer. These findings suggest that future studies based on multi-parameter examination are necessary for prediction of individual radiosensitivity.
在个性化医学时代,放射肿瘤学面临的挑战之一是确定与个体放射敏感性相关的生物标志物。本研究旨在评估与前列腺癌患者急性放射性毒性发展相关的临床、物理和生物学因素与风险之间的关联的可能临床价值。该研究纳入了 44 名接受三维适形放疗的患者。在放疗前、放疗第 5、15 和 25 次后、放疗结束时和放疗结束后 1 个月,评估了白细胞介素-1β、白细胞介素-2、白细胞介素-6、干扰素-γ 和转化生长因子-β1 的浓度。外周血单个核细胞中细胞因子基因表达的确定。在放疗过程中循环细胞因子水平的单变量分析表明,血清 IL-6 浓度升高与急性泌尿生殖毒性的更高等级显著相关。多变量分析表明,在整个治疗过程中,放疗期间升高的 IL-6 水平与急性泌尿生殖毒性的更高等级显著相关。在放疗过程中 TGF-β 的表达水平显著降低。研究表明,循环细胞因子水平的变化可能是前列腺癌患者放射性毒性的一个重要参数。这些发现表明,基于多参数检查的未来研究对于预测个体放射敏感性是必要的。
