Abstract

Introduction: Proton beam radiotherapy is an advanced cancer treatment technique, which would reduce the effects of radiation on the surrounding healthy cells. The usage of radiosensitizers in this technique might further elevate the radiation dose towards the cancer cells.

Material and methods: The present study investigated the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the presence of individual radiosensitizers, such as bismuth oxide nanoparticles (BiONPs), cisplatin (Cis) or baicalein-rich fraction (BRF) from Oroxylum indicum plant, as well as their combinations, such as BiONPs-Cis (BC), BiONPs-BRF (BB), or BiONPs-Cis-BRF (BCB), on HCT-116 colon cancer cells under proton beam radiotherapy.

Results: It was found that the ROS in the presence of Cis at 3 Gy of radiation dose was the highest, followed by BC, BiONPs, BB, BRF, and BCB treatments. The properties of bismuth as a radical scavenger, as well as the BRF as a natural compound, might contribute to the lower intracellular ROS induction. The ROS in the presence of Cis and BC combination were also time-dependent and radiation dose-dependent.

Conclusions: As the prospective alternatives to the Cis, the BC combination and individual BiONPs showed the capacities to be developed as radiosensitizers for proton beam therapy.
