This study evaluates the cytotoxic and cell cycle effects of the alpha-emitting radioligand [212Pb]Pb-{AB}001 in prostate cancer cell lines with differing {PSMA} expression and p53 status: C4-2 ({PSMA}+/{TP}53-wild-type) and {PC}-3 {PIP} ({PSMA}+++/ {TP}53-null). [212Pb]Pb-{AB}001 significantly inhibited proliferation and clonogenic survival in both cell lines in an activity-dependent manner. At 95\% clonogenic inhibition, both cell lines exhibited G2-phase arrest, S-phase suppression and reduced mitotic entry on day 1. At higher activities, {PC}-3 {PIP} cells showed polyploidy, and features consistent with mitotic catastrophe and senescence. Cytotoxicity was more pronounced in C4-2 3D spheroid models than in 2D monolayers, suggesting contribution of crossfire and bystander effects. Total cell-bound activity, rather than added activity, better predicted radiotoxicity in both {TP}53-wild-type and {TP}53-null cell lines, indicating that its therapeutic effect is primarily governed by {PSMA}-mediated uptake rather than p53 status. These results support the therapeutic potential of [212Pb]Pb-{AB}001 across cells with varying {TP}53 status and suggest that combining [212Pb]Pb-{AB}001 with {DNA} repair or checkpoint inhibitors may enhance treatment efficacy.}, journaltitle = {Scientific Reports}, shortjournal = {Sci Rep}, eprinttype = {pubmed}, eprint = {https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41318731/}, author = {Stenberg, Vilde Yuli and Liukaityte, Rugile and Kristiansen, Sandra Kvarsvik and Wangen-Riise, Rina and Kleinauskas, Andrius and Dunne, Victoria and Juzeniene, Asta}, urldate = {2025-12-01}, date = {2025-11-29}, langid = {english}, note = {Publisher: Nature Publishing Group}, keywords = {Cancer, Cell biology, Oncology, scientific-publication}, }
