Abstrakt: Purpose: FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH-RT) is a promising radiation technique that uses ultrahigh doses of radiation to increase the therapeutic window of the treatment. FLASH-RT has been observed to provide normal tissue sparing at high dose rates and similar tumor control compared with conventional RT, yet the biological processes governing these radiobiological effects are still unknown. In this study, we sought to investigate the potential immune response generated by FLASH-RT in a high dose of proton therapy in an orthotopic glioma rat model.
Methods and Materials: We cranially irradiated rats with a single high dose (25 Gy) using FLASH dose rate proton irradiation (257 ± 2 Gy/s) or conventional dose rate proton irradiation (4 ± 0.02 Gy/s). We first assessed the protective FLASH effect that resulted in our setup through behavioral studies in naïve rats. This was followed by a comprehensive analysis of immune cells in blood, healthy tissue of the brain, and tumor microenvironment by flow cytometry.
Results: Proton FLASH-RT spared memory impairment produced by conventional high-dose proton therapy and induced a similar tumor infiltrating lymphocyte recruitment. Additionally, a general neuroinflammation that was similar in both dose rates was observed.
Conclusions: Overall, this study demonstrated that FLASH proton therapy offers a neuro-protective effect even at high doses while mounting an effective lymphoid immune response in the tumor.
