The aim of this study was to establish the radiosensitising properties of gemcitabine in a pair of related bladder tumour cell lines with differential radiosensitivity. The radioresistant bladder tumour cell line MGH-U1 and its radiosensitive mutant clone, S40b (both p53 mutant), had SF(2) values (surviving fraction at 2 Gy) of 0.98 and 0.64, respectively (P<0.001). Colony-forming assays showed that at 0.01 microM gemcitabine radiosensitisation occurred only in the S40b cell line (dose-modifying factor (DMF)=1.4). At 0.3 microM (killing 50% of cells), both cell lines were radiosensitised; DMF=2.25 and 1.2 for MGH-U1 and S40b, respectively. These data suggest that gemcitabine is an effective radiosensitiser in bladder cancer cell lines, with greater sensitisation in the radioresistant parental line-a feature that should be useful in a clinical setting.Citation
