ABSTRACT
Hyperthermia is useful for the treatment of human head and neck cancer, as it is relatively easy to perform thermoregulation when compared with deep organs. In this study, we focused attention on the p53 as a predictive indicator of hyperthermic cancer therapy. We used two kinds of cell lines of a human squamous cell carcinoma (SAS) with identical backgrounds of function except for the p53 protein. We assayed the heat sensitivity, frequency of apoptosis, and apoptosis-related gene expression after heat treatment using DNA array. The SAS/neo (wild-type p53; wtp53) cells were sensitive to heat, and the induction of Caspase-3 activation and apoptosis in the wtp53 cells was clearly high compared with the SAS/mp53 (mutated p53; mp53) cells. The gene expression of apoptosis suppressive-genes such as IL-12 p35 decreased in the wtp53 cells, and IL-12 R beta1 increased in the mp53 cells, though apoptosis-promotive genes of Caspase-9, CD30 and CD40 were induced p53-independently by hyperthermia. It is suggested that heat-induced apoptosis was suppressed by IL-12-related genes in the mp53 cells. These findings strongly imply that p53 status is a useful candidate for a predictive indicator of the effectiveness in hyperthermic therapy.
