The interaction between hyperthermia and X irradiation was determined in cultured Reuber H35 hepatoma cells with different states of thermosensitivity. Incubation at 41 degrees C followed by 4-Gy X rays resulted after 2 hr in a stabilization of cell survival for heat or plus X rays, with a maximum synergism factor of 1.6. Thermotolerance did not develop during incubation at 41.7 or 42.5 degrees C. When heat treatment of cells was followed by irradiation, the synergism factor for thermal radiosensitization increased with both the amount of thermal cell killing and the amount of X-ray cell killing; the influence of thermal exposure on the synergism factor was greater than that of the X-ray dose. Cells were made thermotolerant either by incubation at 42.5 degrees C for 30 or 60 min followed by an interval at 37 degrees C, or by continuous incubation at 41 degrees C. In both cases thermotolerance was measured by incubation at 42.5 degrees C. No difference was observed between the maximum thermotolerance achieved with both methods. When cells were irradiated in addition to the second heat treatment, thermal radiosensitization was strongly reduced concomitant with the decreased sensitivity to killing by heat.
