dc.description.abstractengIntroduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain malignancy. The clinical outcome remains disappointing, mainly due to inevitable GBM recurrence after postoperative radiation and chemotherapy. An enhanced DNA repair capacity has been implicated as the key component of GBM radio- and chemoresistance. Particularly, the ability of so-called brain tumour Initiating stem-like cells (BTICs) to efficiently repair DNA damage induced by radiotherapy is the key molecular mechanism involved in the post-therapy GBM recurrence. Interference with DNA repair capacity has emerged as an important strategy in combination therapy for GBM. DNA intercalating agent chloroquine (ClQ) exerts cytotoxic effects in different types of cancer cells including glioma. Among the versatile mechanisms underlying ClQ-mediated cytotoxicity, interference with DNA repair has been implicated. Our aim was to investigate the effect of CIQ on DNA repair capacity in BTICs. Methods:  BTIC-like population selected from glioma line G112 was treated with ionizing radiation (IR) in the absense or presence of ClQ. Cell growth rate was evaluated by using growth curve analysis. DNA repair capacity was evaluated by using the reporter assay or assessing the IR-induced phosphorylation of H2AX, a marker for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).Results: Treatment with ClQ within a concentration range of 10 µg/ml to 20µg/ml inhibits BTICs growth in vitro. The effective dose of IR treatment for BTICs lies within the range of 5Gy to 10Gy. The combination of sub-effective doses of ClQ (2,5 µg/ml) and IR (2,5Gy) has a synergistic effect on the growth of BTICs compared to single treatments. We found that IR-induced H2AX phosphorylation is significantly decreased in the presense of ClQ. These results indicate that ClQ impairs an assembly of DNA damage foci at DSBs induced by IR. Conclusions: The data from our study suggests that impairment of DNA repair in response to IR is an important mechanism of radiosensitization of BTIC by ClQ.  de
