Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Biology
  • Molecular Diagnostics

Background:

  • Accurate assessment of ionizing radiation dose is critical for managing radiation emergencies and optimizing radiotherapy.
  • Current methods for biodosimetry are insufficient for rapid triage and personalized radiation therapy.
  • There is a need for validated tools to measure absorbed radiation dose in biological samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for ex-vivo irradiation of human blood samples using a linear accelerator (LINAC).
  • To create tools for optimizing radiation dosimetry in radiotherapy and estimating accidental radiation exposure.
  • To establish gene expression assays as a biodosimetry tool for molecular profiling of irradiated samples.

Main Methods:

  • Ex-vivo irradiation of human whole blood samples using a calibrated LINAC.
  • Validation of LINAC calibration with a 2 Gy test run on a water phantom, achieving 3% dose distribution accuracy.
  • Analysis of irradiated blood samples using gene expression assays to identify dose-responsive biomarkers.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation and calibration of the LINAC for human blood sample irradiation.
  • Demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in the expression of 5 monitored genes post-irradiation.
  • Validated the utility of gene expression profiling for radiobiological measurements.

Conclusions:

  • Ex-vivo irradiated blood samples using LINAC are suitable for molecular profiling.
  • Gene expression-based biodosimetry tools can effectively validate radiobiological measurements.
  • This technique offers a promising approach for radiation dose assessment in clinical and emergency settings.
