Summary Context State of the art of gold nanoparticle photoactivation therapy Physics and Monte-Carlo simulation First results of simulation with Penelope code Conclusion and prospect

Context Current limitations of radiotherapy: The tolerance of healthy tissues The inability of irradiation techniques to treat diffused cancers (ex: Glioblastomas). Concept of heavy element enhanced radiotherapy : Irradiation with a low energy X-ray beam (50 - 150 keV) in the presence of high Z elements. Enhancement of the dose effect in the tumor loaded with high Z element and creation of complex damages at the cellular level. Goals: Understand physical phenomena connected to these enhancement effects using Monte Carlo simulation and experimental measurements (provided by ESRF). Focus here on gold nanoparticles (GNP). Use of different physical parameters as emitted electrons spectra and Dose Enhancement Factor (DEF).

State of the art : GNP photoactivation therapy Study of Hainfeld et al. (Phys. Med. Biol (2004)) : Very good survival response, up to enhancement of 4, by treating cancerous mice combining injection of GNP of 1.9nm and irradiation with a RX tube at 250kVp. Hainfeld (Phys. Med. Biol (2010)): New in vivo results using the same technique but with synchrotron beam at 68 and 157 keV. Radiosensitization experiments with GNP (E. Brun et al. 2009):

State of the art : Monte Carlo simulation with GNP Cho et al. (Phys. Med. Biol. (2005)): Attempt to reproduce Hainfeld’s results. Model representing a tumor embedded with a gold-water mixture. Obtained a DEF of 2.1 into the tumor.  Need a model which takes into account the distribution of GNP and microdosimetry. 7 mg Au/g tumour + 2mg Au/g tissue 7 mg Au/g tumour + no Au/g tissue

State of the art : Monte Carlo simulation with GNP Zhang et al. (Biomed Microdevices (2009)): Comparison of calculated macroscopic dose with two different model: Homogeneous gold-water mixture (Cho’s 2005 method). Structure with gold nanoparticles. The homogeneous gold-water model overestimates the dose until 16% in the target volume.  Confirm the need of modelling the nanostructures.

State of the art : Monte Carlo - track structure code Previous macroscopic studies show the importance of: Modelling geometries and calculating doses at a micro and nano level. Finding parameters more relevant than physical dose to describe the phenomena. Monte Carlo codes called “track structure” can be used to simulate very precisely electron and photon transport. Main codes: Some are used to describe interaction of particles with DNA : Penelope: adapted for clinical radiation dosimetry and transport description of low energy X-Ray and electrons. EGS: adapted for clinical radiation dosimetry. MCNPx: not precise to model relaxation cascades (in development). G4: developed for high energy physics, now extended to all radiation physics (project : G4DNA). Ftacnikova et al. (Radiation Protection Dosimetry (2000)) Terrissol et al. (Int. J. Radiat. Biol. (2008)) Nikjoo et al. (Radiation Protection Dosimetry (2006))

Physics and Monte Carlo simulation Monte Carlo method : Photon interaction : Allow to follow the particles transport in matter according to random processes determined with interaction probabilities. Atomic relaxation :

Physics and Monte Carlo simulation Electron range in water, ESTAR (NIST databases): Range of 10 keV electron  2.5 µm in water, nucleus scale. Range of 50 keV electron  40 µm in water, cellular scale. Range of 100 keV electron  140 µm in water, few cells.  2.5 µm  40 µm 50 keV  140 µm

Penelope code Gold nanoparticle geometry, spectrum study: sphere of 100 nm diameter, full of water or gold. Detectors are virtual tools which quantify the spectrum of outgoing particles. Z Y Circular photon source (R=50nm) Photon detector Electron detector GNP 100 nm

Outgoing photon spectrum for 85 keV monoenergetic beam Gold Water  Fluorescence relaxation well described in Penelope.

Electron spectrum for 85 keV monoenergetic beam Gold Water Mean energy  16 keV  Relaxation cascade and X-ray interaction with shell and sub-shell well described in Penelope.

Electron spectrum for 68 keV monoenergetic beam Gold Water Mean energy  35 keV  Modification of the spectra before and after the K-edge: influence on the mean energy and range of electrons created from the GNP.

Study of total electrons emitted and the yield of low energy electrons (< 10 keV) produced in GNP as a function of beam energy Yield= Total nb of e- Nb of low E e- Low E e- Total Yield of e- with E<10keV  Strong enhancement of the yield of low energy electron (range of few µm) after the K-edge due to the photoelectric absorption.

Mean energy of electrons emitted from the GNP as a function of incident beam energy Mean energy of electrons emitted from the GNP increases with the incident beam energy and falls down after the K-edge. Optimization of beam energy as a function of the GNP targeting.

Electron E<10keV / total electron Study of total electrons emitted and the yield of low energy electrons (<10keV) produced in GNP as a functions of GNP radius Electron E<10keV / total electron Total number of electrons relative to the mass of gold seems to decrease as a 1/x² tendency with the GNP radius. Yield of electrons lower than 10 keV decreases linearly with the GNP radius.

Study of microdosimetry around the GNP Dose study : Geometry: spherical GNP of 100 nm diameter in a water sphere of 1 µm. Study of the deposited dose due to the GNP in the water sphere.

Dose profile on the Z axis for a 85keV monochromatic beam -600 -400 -200 600 400 200 Z (nm) Source position 100nm GNP Water Deposited dose due to the GNP is dominated by the low energy electrons produced. Quasi-isotropic diffusion of dose around the GNP at a µm scale.

DEF calculated as a function of beam energy with a 100 nm GNP Dose Enhancement Factor = ------------------------------------------------- Mean dose in the water sphere with GNP Mean dose in the water sphere without GNP

Mean dose calculated as a function of GNP radius for a 85 keV monochromatic beam Deposited dose in the 1 µm water sphere due to the GNP increases with the radius as a exponential tendency. The increase of electron production for small GNP does not influence the dose at a µm scale.

Conclusion and prospect Photoactivation radiotherapy with GNP induces complex dose effects at a cellular level and requires more precise study of the local effect of GNP. This study aims understanding physical phenomena correlated to these local effects. The characterization of GNP in terms of particles created and local physical dose deposited are described according to the beam energy and the radius of spherical GNP. Prospect : Study these local characteristics in a more realistic geometry. Experimental measurements planed to study the dependency with beam energy. Study different geometries of GNP. The challenge is to find a relevant parameter to see correlation between physical data and biological results.
