Evaluation of the Role of the Immune System Response After Minibeam Radiation Therapy

Résumé

Purpose: Minibeam radiation therapy (MBRT) is an innovative technique that uses a spatial dose modulation. The dose distribution consists of high doses (peaks) in the path of the minibeam and low doses (valleys). The underlying biological mechanism associated with MBRT efficacy remains currently unclear and thus we investigated the potential role of the immune system after treatment with MBRT. Methods and materials: Rats bearing an orthotopic glioblastoma cell line were treated with 1 fraction of high dose conventional radiation therapy (30 Gy) or 1 fraction of the same mean dose in MBRT. Both immunocompetent (F344) and immunodeficient (Nude) rats were analyzed in survival studies. Systemic and intratumoral immune cell population changes were studied with flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2 and 7 days after the irradiation. Results: The absence of response of Nude rats after MBRT suggested that T cells were key in the mode of action of MBRT. An inflammatory phenotype was observed in the blood 1 week after irradiation compared with conventional irradiation. Tumor immune cell analysis by flow cytometry showed a substantial infiltration of lymphocytes, specifically of CD8 T cells and B cells in both conventional and MBRT-treated animals. IHC revealed that MBRT induced a faster recruitment of CD8 and CD4 T cells. Animals that were cured by radiation therapy did not suffer tumor growth after reimplantation of tumoral cells, proving the long-term immunity response generated after a high dose of radiation. Conclusions: Our findings show that MBRT can elicit a robust antitumor immune response in glioblastoma while avoiding the high toxicity of a high dose of conventional radiation therapy.
