Project description:Radiation-induced intestinal injury is one of the most common complications of abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy. Severe intestinal injury caused by ionizing radiation (IR) has a high mortality rate, which is a worldwide problem requiring urgent attention. IR can cause intestinal tissue damage, inflammatory cell infiltration and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. However, methods to protect against radiation-induced intestinal injury are limited. CBLB502, a Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) agonist from Salmonella flagellin, has radioprotective effects on various tissues and organs. In order to further explore the molecular mechanism of IR-induced intestinal injury and the mechanism of protective effect of CBLB502 on IR-induced intestinal injury, mice were given CBLB502 and irradiated with different doses at different times. The survival rate, body weight, hemogram and histopathology of the mice were analyzed. The results showed that CBLB502 before IR can reduce intestinal injury induced by IR. RNA-seq analysis showed that different doses and different time of IR induced different damage mechanisms to promote gene regulation patterns. In addition, CBLB502 exerts its protective effect on IR-induced intestinal injury mainly through biological processes such as immune response. Notably, CBLB502 protected against intestinal injury only after IR, and might play a protective role by reversing the regulation of IR-induced genes. Therefore, this paper basically describes the mechanism of IR-induced intestinal injury and the potential molecular protective mechanism of CBLB502, which provides a basis for further research on functional genes and molecular mechanisms that mediate protection against IR-induced injury in the future.

Project description:Chronic alcohol exposure can cause myocardial degenerative diseases, manifested as cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, etc. These are defined as alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM). Alcohol-mediated myocardial injury has previously been studied through metabolomics, and it has been proved to be involved in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway related to the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and oxidative phosphorylation, which tentatively explored the mechanism of ACM induced by chronic drinking. To further study the myocardial damage caused by alcohol, the mouse model of ACM successfully established previously was used to perform proteomics analysis on myocardial specimens. Fifty-six differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified, and they are involved in the KEGG pathway related to fatty acid biosynthesis, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and the development of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The present study further demonstrated the underlying causes of myocardial damage caused by chronic alcohol consumption and lays the foundation for further research to clarify the underlying mechanism of ACM.

Project description:Radiation-induced lung injury is a common late side-effect of thoracic radiotherapy. The inflammatory microenvironment plays a key role in this process. Endothelial cells are the goalkeeper of inflammation. Endothelial dysfunction following leukocytes infiltrated is a prominent feature in the pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury. Tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 is a key regulator of endothelial functions and inflammation. Here, we established a clinical-mimicking mouse model of radiation-induced lung injury and found that Shp2 activity was elevated in endothelium after injury. Mice with endothelium-specific Shp2 deletion showed relieved collagen deposition along with disrupted radiation-induced Jag1 expression in the endothelium. Furthermore, endothelium-derived Jag1 activated the alternative activation of macrophages in vitro and in vivo by paracrine Notch signaling. Consistently, Notch pathway was significant activated by chest irradiation in the peripheral blood leukocytes of cancer patients. Collectively, this is the first demonstration of radiation-induced lung injury regulation by endothelial Shp2. Shp2 participates in the radiation-induced endothelial dysfunction and subsequently inflammatory microenvironment producing.

Project description:Currently there is growing concern with respect to scenarios where people are likely to be presented with radiation exposure along with many kinds of other injuries such as trauma and infection. The potential for such scenarios was brought to reality with the events and aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. As such medical complications arising from such exposures would be poorly dealt with as no evidence-based guidelines exist for their rehabilitation or recovery. Our research intends to differentially characterize combined radiation and burn injuries and identify novel pathways and biomarkers. Such findings will lead to better medical practices in the diagnosis, care and rehabilitation of affected individuals. The study includes four groups of mice: 1) Control sham mice group (n=4), 2) Skin burn injury mice group (n=6), 3) Radiation injury mice group (n=6), 4) Combined radiation and burn injury mice group (n=6). We propose to characterize the effects of combined radiation and burn injuries using microRNA microarray analysis. Our primary aim is to identify novel molecular pathways and biomarkers specific to whole blood samples (serum) from mice exposed to combined radiation and burn injuries. B6D2F1/J female mice will be used. 30 days following combined radiation and burn injuries arterial blood will be harvested from euthanized mice. 200ul of serum from whole blood samples will be used for microRNA microarray experiments (Affymetrix).

Project description:RATIONALE: Radiation therapy can cause long-term adverse effects. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be effective in lessening gastrointestinal symptoms caused by radiation therapy given for pelvic cancer. It is not yet known whether high-pressure oxygen is effective in treating adverse effects caused by radiation therapy.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying hyperbaric oxygen therapy to see how well it works in treating long-term gastrointestinal adverse effects caused by radiation therapy in patients with pelvic cancer.

Project description:Our team has constructed a prediction model based on the expression level of immune factors (PD-L1, PD-1, CTLA4, Siglec15) to predict the chronicization of radiation-induced acute intestinal injury (RAII) and verified the predictive efficacy of the system in retrospective studies. This clinical study intends to further prospectively verify the accuracy of this prediction model in rectal cancer patients. In this study, we plan to enroll 200 patients diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer by pathology and MRI, who undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and total mesorectal excision (TME) and develop RAII during NCRT or within 1 month. We will follow up the occurrence and progression of radiation-induced intestinal injury within 1 year after TME. Expression levels of immune factors will be detected in pathological tissue after TME and applied to the prediction model to predict the chronicization of RAII. Based on the clinical diagnosis of chronic radiation-induced intestinal injury, the area under curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, specificity, and sensitivity of this prediction model in predicting the chronicization of RAII will be evaluated. The main outcome hypothesis is that the AUC of chronicization of RAII predicted by the prediction model based on the expression level of immune factors is more than 0.8.

Project description:Acute exposure to high-dose gamma radiation often results in radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), characterized by acute pneumonitis and subsequent lung fibrosis. A microfluidic organ-on-a-chip device consisting of human lung alveolar epithelium and pulmonary endothelium (Lung Alveolus Chip) is used to recapitulate acute, early stage RILI in vitro. This RNA-seq data captures that both the lung epithelium and endothelium in this model capture key hallmarks of this disease particularly, DNA damage, cellular hypertrophy, upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, and loss of barrier function within 6h of radiation exposure. The data also suggests that radiation affects the alveolar endothelium more significantly than the epithelium. The alveolus chips are exposed to radiation injury at 16 Gy and shows effects that resemble the human lung greater than animal preclinical models. These data demonstrate that the Lung Alveolus Chip provides a human relevant alternative approach for studying the molecular basis of acute RILI towards screening radiation countermeasure therapeutics.
