INTRODUCTION Link between track structure and biological effects of ionizing radiation The growing use of hadrons in oncology entails the need to establish more specific dosimetry concepts adapted to their biological efficacy. This Monte Carlo Simulation (GEANT4 DNA) requires more information on the likelihood of subcellular effects, mainly Computes a track for a given ionizing DNA damage, according to how energy is deposited within cells by ionizing particle at nanometer scale particle tracks. Monte Carlo track structure simulation provides a powerful tool for investigating such relation. However, the reliability of simulation nucleus There is a need to produce results can only be assessed by comparison with dedicated biological data. biological data to help set up of the multi-scale simulation What type of biologic data may be relevant and how to produce them?

state and cell cycle stage => G0G1 phase) 1 particle per point Irradiation: Single ion microbeam facility at the PTB allows to control the energy and the number of particles. A pattern of 5 particles per Theoretical coordinates of 5 hits nucleus was chosen (Number of foci per nucleus > Background)

Alpha particles Proton DAPI 53BP1 (Tx-Red) 8 MeV (170 keV/µm) 3 MeV (19 keV/µm) 10 MeV (85 keV/µm) 20 MeV (36 keV/µm)

Analysis: Statistical evaluation of nuclear foci formation (53BP1 and γ-H2AX) related to a particle traversal was undertaken in a large population of cells. Aim: Estimate the relative frequency of radiation-induced foci formation following a single particle track in cell nuclei

Selection criteria of DSB:

August 25 August Particle track

– • at least 2, 3 or 4 SSBs

• on opposite strands of DNA DNA DSB with at least 2 SBs DNA DSB with at least 3 SBs • Separated by 10 bp at most DNA DSB with at least 4 SBs

=> This is performed thousands of times at different positions of the target in order to take into account the variation of DNA density inside the simulated nucleus.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Comparable to corrected biological data, the simulated relative frequencies of at least one radiation-induced focus formation per particle track increase gradually. For α particles of LET ranging from 80 to 170 keV·μm-1, a constant DNA damage-induction frequency was found, where 10-30% of the particle traversals did not lead to foci formation. These findings will allow for a better comprehension of the relationship between the topology of energy deposition from particles of different LET and early cell damage. They will also

help obtain an accurate estimate of the probability of particle interaction to induce foci formation at DNA damage sites. 16th International Congress of Radiation ResearchRadiation of Congress International 16th This work was carried out within the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) Joint Research Project SIB06 “Biologically Weighted Quantities in RadioTherapy” (BioQuaRT).
