Abstract Background The sensitizing effects of 2-benzoyl-3-phenyl-6 7-dichloroquinoxaline 1 4-dioxide DCQ and ionizing radiation IR were determined in four colon cancer cells and in FHs74Int normal intestinal cells. Methods Cell cycle modulation TUNEL assay clonogenic survival and DNA damage were examined under oxia or hypoxia. Effects on apoptotic molecules and on p-Akt and Cox-2 protein expression were investigated. Results The four cell lines responded differently to DCQ IR HT-29 cells were most resistant. Combination treatment caused significant increases in preG1 apoptosis in HCT-116 while G2 M arrest occurred in DLD-1. DCQ potentiated IR effects more so under hypoxia than oxia. Preexposure of DLD-1 to hypoxia induced 30 apoptosis and G2 M arrest in oxia. The survival rate was 50
