In the clinical application of carbon-ion (C-ion) radiation therapy in Japan, different RBE values of carbons have been used for clinical and biological endpoints. The biological RBE (bRBE) was estimated by a method that is based on the linear-quadratic (LQ) model, and was defined 
at the 10% surviving fraction of human salivary gland (HSG) tumor cells. However, many of biological parameters, that is, type of tissues, different sort of cells, oxygenation levels, and all, could affect radiosensitivity. Thus, normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) cells were exposed to C-ion beams at Gunma University (10-80 keV/micrometer) and TIARA (108 and 158 keV/micrometer). The surviving fractions were analyzed with colony formation assays. The experimental RBE (eRBE) values were estimated from the radiation dose survival curve fitted by LQ model, and defined .

Times Cited Count：57 Percentile：90.66(Biology)To clarify whether high-LET radiation inhibits all repair pathways or specifically one repair pathway, studies were designed to examine the effects of radiation with different LET values on DNA DSB repair and radiosensitivity. Embryonic fibroblasts bearing repair gene KO were exposed to X rays, carbon-, iron-, neon- and argon-ion beams. Cell survival was measured with colony-forming assays. The sensitization enhancement ratio (SER) values were calculated using the 10% survival dose of wild-type cells and repair-deficient cells. Cellular radiosensitivity was listed in descending order: double-KO cells 
NHEJ-KO cells HR-KO cells wild-type cells. Although HR-KO cells had an almost constant SER value, NHEJ-KO cells showed a high-SER value when compared to HR-KO cells, even with increasing LET values. These results suggest that with carbon-ion therapy, targeting NHEJ repair yields higher radiosensitivity than targeting homologous recombination repair.

Clinical RBE (cRBE), which was used to decide a clinical dose of carbon ion radiotherapy, is calculated by multiply experimental RBE (eRBE) by scaling factor. A value of eRBE was measured by colony formation assay of HSG cells in past, and adopted to the therapy of all patients and organ. However, there are question whether it was proper to use conventional eRBE in a different organization, different cell type. Therefore, we irradiated X-rays or a carbon line to NHDF cell and performed a colony assay to determine RBE of different cell type. The value of RBE was calculated from the cell survival rate fit in LQ model. As a result, the value of RBE was increased in LET-dependent manner, and the RBE obtained from the NHDF cell exhibited higher value than that of HSG cells. Thus, we concluded that it might be necessary to change scaling factor when evaluate different organ.
