OBJECTIVE
IDH1 codon 132 mutation (mostly Arg132His) is frequently found in gliomas and is associated with longer survival. However, it is still unclear whether IDH1 mutation renders the cell more vulnerable to current treatment, radio- and chemotherapy.
METHODS
We transduced U87 with wild type IDH1 or IDH1 (R132H) expressing lentivirus and analyzed the radiosensitivity (dose ranging 0 to 10 Gy) under normoxia (20% O2) and moderate hypoxia (1% O2).
RESULTS
We observed that IDH1 (R132H) U87 cells grow faster in hypoxia and were more sensitive to radiotherapy (in terms of cell mortality and colony formation assay) compared to nontransduced U87 and IDH1 (wt) cells. This effect was not observed in normoxia.
CONCLUSIONS
These data suggest that IDH1 (R132H) mutation increases radiosensitivity in mild hypoxic conditions.
