X ray linear accelerator

Manufactured by Rad Source
Sourced in United States

The X-ray linear accelerator is a device that generates high-energy X-rays. It accelerates electrons to high velocities and then directs them towards a target, which produces the X-rays. This equipment is used in various applications, such as medical imaging and treatment, as well as industrial and scientific research.

The murine monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was used in this study. The cells were purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS; Shanghai, China), and maintained in α-Minimum Essential Medium (α-MEM; Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) and 2 mM L-glutamine (Amresco, Solon, OH, USA). Murine osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 Subclone 4 was also used in this study, which was kindly provided by Prof. & Dr Hong Zhou of the University of Sydney. The osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were maintained in α-MEM, supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 10% (v/v) FBS. Both cell lines were cultured in a 37°C incubator with a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.
The cells were seeded in 35-mm dishes at a density of 9000 cells/cm2 and incubated overnight for 12 h prior to irradiation. The cells were irradiated with different doses from 1 Gy to 8 Gy using an X-ray linear accelerator (160 kV, 25 mA; RadSource, Suwanee, GA, USA) at a fixed dose rate of 1.15 Gy/min. The focus skin distance was 40 cm, and the irradiation field was 280 mm × 180 mm with a dose uniformity of >95%. Sham-irradiated cells were defined as the 0 Gy group.

Clonogenic Assay for Radiation Sensitivity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For standard clonogenic assays, stable cell lines were seeded into six-well plates at 200–2000 cells/well, depending on the dose of radiation. Cells were pretreated with 50 µM EGCG. The concentration of DMSO in the medium was < 0.5% for all conditions. Cells were irradiated using an X-ray linear accelerator (RADSOURCE, San Francisco, CA, USA) at a fixed dose rate of 1.15 Gy/min. After radiation, the drug-containing medium was immediately replaced by fresh medium. The cells were then grown for 7–10 d to allow for colony formation and were subsequently stained using crystal violet. Colonies consisting of 50 or more cells were counted as a clone.

The human non-small cell lung carcinoma cell lines H1299, A549 and H460 were maintained in RPMI 1640 with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY) and 1% (v/v) antibiotics (100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/streptomycin) at 37°C and a 5% CO2 atmosphere. The authenticity of this cell line was confirmed by measuring the STR profile and the P53 expression.
The cells were irradiated with a total dose of 2 Gy using an X-ray linear accelerator (RadSource, Suwanee, GA) at a fixed dose rate of 1.15 Gy/min. Sham-irradiated cells were defined as the 0 Gy group.

Human PC cell lines (BxPC‐3 and Panc‐1) were purchased from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection (Shanghai, China). All cell lines were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, HyClone, Logan, USA) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. The cultures were incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Pancreatic cancer cells were pretreated with clofibrate for 24 h and then were exposed to different dosages of ionizing radiation using an X‐ray linear accelerator (Rad Source, Suwanee, GA, USA) at a fixed dose rate of 1.15 Gy/min.31

CRC cell lines SW837 and SW480, established from the human adenocarcinomas of rectum and colon respectively, were used in this study. The two cell lines were purchased from the Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection (Shanghai, China), and maintained by L-15 medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), 2 mM L-glutamine, and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). For 5-FU (CSNpharm, Shanghai, China) treatment, the cells were treated at 5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL and 20 mg/mL respectively for 48 h. 20 mg/mL was selected for further studies. For radiotherapy group, the cells were irradiated at 2 Gy, 4 Gy, 6 and 8 Gy respectively. The X-rays were produced by an X-ray linear accelerator at a dose rate of 1.15 Gy/min (160 kV, 25 mA; RadSource, Suwanee, GA, USA). 48 h after irradiation, the cells were harvested for further studies.

The human epidermal keratinocyte cell line HaCaT was maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and 1% (v/v) penicillin–streptomycin at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Cells were irradiated using an X-ray linear accelerator (RADSOURCE, GA, USA) at a fixed dose rate of 1.15 Gy/min. 5-Gy X-ray irradiation was chosen because it causes appropriate DNA damage [24 (link), 25 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
