AB  - The genetic background of each person might affect the severity of radiotherapy (RT)-induced normal tissue toxicity. The aim of study was to evaluate the influence of TGFB1 C-509T and Leu10Pro, XRCC1 Arg280His and XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphisms as well as the level of radiation-induced CD8 T-lymphocyte apoptosis (RILA) on adverse effects of RT for prostate cancer (PCa). The study included 88 patients with localized or locally advanced PCa who were treated with RT. The polymorphisms were determined by PCR–RFLP analysis on DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RILA values were measured by flow cytometry. We found that CT genotype of TGFB1 C-509T could be protective biomarker for acute genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) radiotoxicity, while Thr variant of XRCC3 Thr241Met could predict the risk for acute GU radiotoxicity. Correlation between RILA values and toxicity was not detected. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that Gleason score and risk group were risk factors for late GU, while for late GI radiotoxicity it was diabetes mellitus type 2. However, in multivariate model those were not proven to be significant and independent risk factors. Identification of assays combination predicting individual radiosensitivity is a crucial step towards personalized RT approach.

AB  - Phytochemicals and bioactive substances derived from a wide range of plant extracts have been reported to exert various anticancer effects. Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths within the male population. Prostate cancer-specific miRNA signatures were associated with cancer formation and progression, with various subtypes, and response to therapy. MicroRNA levels of expression were shown to change after the treatment of various compounds and substances extracted from natural products. Natural herbal compounds were shown to induce variations in miRNA expression levels in cancer cells. The aims of this study were to investigate the cytotoxic effects of methanol, ethyl-acetate, and hexane extracts obtained from branch-body part and flowers of Hypericum perforatum L. against humane PC-3 and DU 145 and to test potential miRNA-128/133b/155/193a/206/21/335 signature changes and differences between the two prostate cancer cell lines. Cytotoxic activity of H. perforatum extracts, their effects on cell cycle distribution, and miRNA expression levels were examined in humane PC-3 and DU 145 prostate cancer cells by MTT cell survival assay, flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time PCR. Hexane extract of flowers showed the strongest intensity of cytotoxic activity against PC-3 and DU 145 cells. The highest increase in the percentage of PC-3 cells in the subG1 phase was observed in cell samples treated with hexane extract of flowers and branch-body part. Significant differences in miRNA-128/133b/155/193a/206/21/335 levels were observed between PC-3 and DU 145 cell lines, especially in samples treated with flower extracts compared with the branch-body part. Conclusions: Investigated extracts have significant anticancer potential not only from the aspects of cytotoxicity and cell cycle effects but also from the aspect of lowering oncogenic or increasing tumor-suppressive miRNAs. The best effect might be the increase of tumor-suppressive miR-128 (accompanied by miR-193a) induced by the hexane extract of the flowers, which also exerted the highest cytotoxic activity. Hexane extract of flowers may be the candidate for further investigation for improving the efficiency of standard therapies for PCa. A miRNA signature might be cell-type specific after the treatment with H. perforatum extracts.

AB  - Background: Radiotherapy (RT)-induced acute toxicity associated with bladder and bowel injury has great impact the quality of life for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. TGFB1 is a key proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokine, but its role in acute toxicity is still unclear. TGFB1 T>C transition at codon 10 results in leucine to proline substitution and increased TGFB1 protein levels. The aim of this study was to examine impact of TGFB1 Leu10Pro (rs1800470) polymorphism on RT-induced acute toxicity in PCa patients. Patients and methods: Eighty two patients who had a localized or locally advanced PCa were treated with radical (72 Gy)(n=47) or postoperative/salvage (66 Gy)(n=35) RT without previous hormonal therapy. TGFB1 Leu10Pro was determined by PCR-RFLP analysis on DNA from PBMC. The differences in the distribution of genotypes for dominant, recessive, codominant and overdominant genetic model between patients with or without acute genitourinary (GU) or gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity as well as different grade of toxicity were tested by χ2 and Fisher’s exact test. P values ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Heterozygote PCa patients had lower rate of acute GU and GI toxicity then homozygotes (LeuLeu, LeuPro, ProPro were: 100%, 90.7%, 100% for GU and 92.0%, 88.4%, 100%, respectively for GI). The frequency of toxicity grade ≥2 were higher in LeuPro then both homozygote carriers (41% vs. 28.2% for GU and 26.3% vs. 21.6% for GI acute toxicity). The differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The present study did not establish impact of TGFB1 Leu10Pro polymorphism on RT-induced acute toxicity in PCa patients.

AB  - One of the challenges of radiation oncology in the era of personalized medicine is identification of biomarkers associated with individual radiosensitivity. The aim of research was to evaluate the possible clinical value of the associations between clinical, physical, and biological factors, and risk for development of acute radiotoxicity in patients with prostate cancer. The study involved forty four patients treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. The concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ and TGF-β1 were assessed before radiotherapy, after 5th, 15th and 25th radiotherapy fractions, at the end, and 1 month after the end of radiotherapy. Cytokine gene expression was determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The univariate analysis of circulating cytokine levels during radiotherapy showed that increased serum concentrations of IL-6 were significantly associated with higher grade of acute genitourinary toxicity. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that increased level of IL-6 during the radiotherapy was significantly associated with higher grade of acute genitourinary toxicity across treatment. TGF-β expression levels significantly decreased during course of radiotherapy. Research indicates that changes in circulating cytokine levels might be important parameter of radiotoxicity in patients with prostate cancer. These findings suggest that future studies based on multi-parameter examination are necessary for prediction of individual radiosensitivity.

AB  - Introduction: Nearly sixty percent of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) undergo radiation therapy (RT). During the course of treatment patients may experience normal tissue reactions. It is a well established fact that genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, such as microRNA (miRNA) level changes might be associated with radiotoxicity, as a response to irradiation. Materials and methods: This is the first study that has investigated levels of radiosensory miRNAs in association with acute genitourinary radiotoxicity extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBCs), in three points; before RT (BRT), after RT (ART) and on the first control examination (FCONT). We measured levels of miR-21/146a/155 expression by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), comparative ΔΔCt method, in fifteen patients with localized prostate cancer, treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). Nine subjects have experienced acute genitourinary (GU) radiotoxicity whereas six where without GU radiotoxicity. Results: Firstly, we detected the highest levels of miR-21 in ART group (p = 0.043) in the patients with acute GU radiotoxicity. Secondly, we found trend towards higher miR-21 levels and significantly higher levels of miR-146a/155 within the patients with acute GU toxicity than in patients without (p = 0.068, p = 0.016, and p = 0.010, respectively). Thirdly, we detected significant change in miR-146a/155 levels within the patients without acute GU radiotoxicity during RT p = 0.042, and p = 0.041, respectively). Conclusion: miR-21/146a/155 might be useful potential factors of radiosensitivity and acute genitourinary radiotoxicity in prostate cancer patients. miRNA might have great potential as predictors of various pathological conditions extracted from PBMCs. © 2018 Elsevier GmbH
