Expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat gut after the whole body gamma irradiation. (1/35)

Gastrointestinal form is the second stage of acute radiation syndrome (ARS) with a threshold dose of 8 Gy in man. It represents an absolutely lethal clinical-pathological unit, necro-hemorrhagic enteritis and proctocolitis, with unknown causal therapy. Elk-1 is a protein acting as a transcription factor activating specified genes. The purpose of our study was to examine the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in irradiated jejunum and transversal colon of rats with radiation-induced enterocolitis and to assess the importance of this transcriptional factor as a biodosimetric marker of radiation-induced enteropathy. The laboratory rats were randomly divided into 21 groups, 10 animals per group, and irradiated with whole body gamma-irradiation of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 Gy. Samples of jejunum and transversal colon were taken 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours later, immunohisto-chemically stained, and the phospho-Elk-1 expression was examined using computer image analysis. A group of 10 sham-irradiated animals was used as control. Significantly increased expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat jejunum has been found in all time intervals after irradiation by sublethal doses of 1 and 5 Gy, whereas after the irradiation by lethal doses, the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat jejunum varied considerably. Significantly increased expression of phospho-Elk-1 in transversal colon has also been found in the first days after irradiation by sublethal doses of 1 and 5 Gy. After irradiation by lethal doses, there was no uniform pattern of the changes in the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat transversal colon. The detection of phospho-Elk-1 might be considered as a suitable and very sensitive biodosimetric marker of radiation-induced injury of small and large intestine. According to our knowledge, this is the first study on the phospho-Elk-1 expression in irradiated jejunum and transversal colon in the rat.  (+info)

Transient impairment of hippocampus-dependent learning and memory in relatively low-dose of acute radiation syndrome is associated with inhibition of hippocampal neurogenesis. (2/35)

Neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus, which occurs constitutively, is vulnerable to ionizing radiation. In the relatively low-dose exposure of acute radiation syndrome (ARS), the change in the adult hippocampal function is poorly understood. This study analyzed the changes in apoptotic cell death and neurogenesis in the DGs of hippocampi from adult ICR mice with single whole-body gamma-irradiation using the TUNEL method and immunohistochemical markers of neurogenesis, Ki-67 and doublecortin (DCX). In addition, the hippocampus-dependent learning and memory tasks after single whole-body gamma-irradiation were examined in order to evaluate the hippocampus-related behavioral dysfunction in the relatively low-dose exposure of ARS. The number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic nuclei in the dentate gyrus (DG) was increased 6-12 h after acute gamma-irradiation (a single dose of 0.5 to 4 Gy). In contrast, the number of Ki-67- and DCX-positive cells began to decrease significantly 6 h postirradiation, reaching its lowest level 24 h after irradiation. The level of Ki-67 and DCX immunoreactivity decreased in a dose-dependent manner within the range of irradiation applied (0-4 Gy). In passive avoidance and object recognition memory test, the mice trained 1 day after acute irradiation (2 Gy) showed significant memory deficits, compared with the sham controls. In conclusion, the pattern of the hippocampus-dependent memory dysfunction is consistent with the change in neurogenesis after acute irradiation. It is suggested that a relatively low dose of ARS in adult ICR mice is sufficiently detrimental to interrupt the functioning of the hippocampus, including learning and memory, possibly through the inhibition of neurogenesis.  (+info)

Amifostine ameliorates recognition memory defect in acute radiation syndrome caused by relatively low-dose of gamma radiation. (5/35)

This study examined whether amifostine (WR-2721) could attenuate memory impairment and suppress hippocampal neurogenesis in adult mice with the relatively low-dose exposure of acute radiation syndrome (ARS). These were assessed using object recognition memory test, the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling assay, and immunohistochemical markers of neurogenesis [Ki-67 and doublecortin (DCX)]. Amifostine treatment (214 mg/kg, i.p.) prior to irradiation significantly attenuated the recognition memory defect in ARS, and markedly blocked the apoptotic death and decrease of Ki-67- and DCX-positive cells in ARS. Therefore, amifostine may attenuate recognition memory defect in a relatively low-dose exposure of ARS in adult mice, possibly by inhibiting a detrimental effect of irradiation on hippocampal neurogenesis.  (+info)

This article concisely summarizes data on the action of one of the principal and best known growth factors, the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), in a mammalian organism exposed to radiation doses inducing acute radiation syndrome. Highlighted are the topics of its real or anticipated use in radiation accident victims, the timing of its administration, the possibilities of combining G-CSF with other drugs, the ability of other agents to stimulate endogenous G-CSF production, as well as of the capability of this growth factor to ameliorate not only the bone marrow radiation syndrome but also the gastrointestinal radiation syndrome. G-CSF is one of the pivotal drugs in the treatment of radiation accident victims and its employment in this indication can be expected to remain or even grow in the future.

Radiation Toxicity (Radiation Sickness, Acute Radiation Syndrome) - Pipeline Review, H1 2017, provides an overview of the Radiation Toxicity (Radiation Sic
Acute effects of ionizing radiation were first observed when Wilhelm Röntgen intentionally subjected his fingers to X-rays in 1895. He published his observations concerning the burns that developed that eventually healed, and misattributed them to ozone. Röntgen believed the free radical produced in air by X-rays from the ozone was the cause, but other free radicals produced within the body are now understood to be more important. D. Walsh first established the symptoms of radiation sickness in 1897. Ingestion of radioactive materials caused many radiation-induced cancers in the 1930s, but no one was exposed to high enough doses at high enough rates to bring on acute radiation syndrome. The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint at the United States Radium factory in Orange, New Jersey, around 1917. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted in high acute doses of radiation to a large number of ...
After irradiation with 2, 4, 7, or 12 Gy, changes in the bone marrow cells over time were examined through H&E staining and Ki-67 staining, a proliferation marker. In minipigs irradiated with 2 or 4 Gy, the myeloid hematopoietic cells disappeared drastically, starting at 30 minutes after irradiation; at the 17-hour point, only a minimal number of myeloid cells remained. On day 3 after irradiation, only some plasmacytoid cells and erythroblasts were observed; Ki-67 positive cells were hardly found (Figure 4A and B). For minipigs irradiated with 7 or 12 Gy, bone marrow tissues were obtained when they succumbed. In the histological analysis, we found that the bone marrow of these 2 minipigs was replaced with adipose cells, with a very small number of plasmacytoid myeloid cells. Moreover, few Ki-67 positive cells were found in the bone marrow (Figure 4C ...
Some may think that certain data are emphasized in this and other chapters in an attempt to minimize the dangers of exposure to radiation. This is not at all true. I am trying to put the dangers in perspective and eliminate the Pavlovian negative response to even the very mention of the subject. Table 8 shows the accepted syndrome from short-term exposures. Please note that this table is in rems (not millirems) and can be mentally converted to centisieverts (cSvs) of the same numerical value. Radiation can obviously be very dangerous. But so can an unreasonable fear of radiation ...

Sixteen Lewis (RT1l) rats were exposed to sublethal dose (7Gy) of Cs-137 TBI. Irradiated rats were divided into 4 experimental groups (n=4 each) based on therapeutic approach: Group 1 - no intervention; Group 2 - normal saline injection; Group 3 - allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) [ACI (RT1a)]; and Group 4 - DRCC transplantation [ACI/LEW (RT1a/RT1l]. Saline as well as cellular therapeutics were delivered into the femoral bone at 6 hours following TBI. DRCC were created by ex-vivo fusion of bone marrow cells derived from fully MHC mismatched LEW (RT1l) and ACI (RT1a) donors. Briefly, donor and recipient cells were isolated, separately stained with the PKH26 and PKH67 fluorescent dyes, fused with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sorted by flow cytometry. Cells presenting double staining were transplanted in a dose 10-12 x 106. All animals received supportive treatment with prophylactic antibiotics, fluids, and softened food during 90-days follow-up. Blood samples were evaluated using ...

Exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation in the event of therapeutic, accidental or intentional incident such as nuclear/radiological warfare can lead to debilitating injuries to multiple organs resulting in death within days depending on the amount of radiation dose and the quality of radiation. Unfortunately, there is not a single FDA-licensed drug approved against acute radiation injury.. Radiation damage to multiple organs often described as multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) or acute radiation syndrome (ARS) results from rapid depletion of radiosensitive cells, these cells are usually the stem or progenitor cells with high proliferative capacity; naturally, bone marrow stem cells (BMSC), and intestinal stem cells (ISC), which are extremely critical in maintaining a pool of peripheral blood cells and in maintaining villi for the absorption of nutrients are highly sensitive to radiation. One of the most efficient ways of rescuing MODS is to administer fresh cells that can repair, ...

Purpose: Discovery of agents that protect or mitigate normal tissue from radiation injury during radiotherapy, accidents, or terrorist attacks is of importance. Specifically, bone marrow insufficiency, with possible infection due to immunosuppression, can occur after total body irradiation (TBI) or regional irradiation and is a major component of the acute radiation syndrome. The purpose of this study was to identify novel radioprotectors and mitigators of the hematopoietic system.. Experimental Design: High-throughput screening of small-molecule libraries was done using viability of a murine lymphocyte line as a readout with further validation in human lymphoblastoid cells. The selected compounds were then tested for their ability to counter TBI lethality in mice.. Results: All of two major classes of antibiotics, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, which share a common planar ring moiety, were radioprotective. Furthermore, tetracycline protected murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell ...
Exposure to a moderate to high dose of ionizing radiation (IR) not only causes acute radiation syndrome but also induces long-term (LT) bone marrow (BM) injury. The latter effect of IR is primarily attributed to the induction of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) senescence. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the only treatment recommended to be given to radiation victims soon after IR. However, clinical studies have shown that G-CSF used to treat the leukopenia induced by radiotherapy or chemotherapy in patients can cause sustained low white blood cell counts in peripheral blood. It has been suggested that this adverse effect is caused by HSC and hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) proliferation and differentiation stimulated by G-CSF, which impairs HSC self-renewal and may exhaust the BM capacity to exacerbate IR-induced LT-BM injury. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 4 Gy γ-rays of total body irradiation (TBI) at a dose-rate of 1.08 Gy per minute, and the mice were treated with G-CSF (1 μg/each
Mass casualty scenarios of radiation exposure require high throughput biological dosimetry techniques for population triage, in order to rapidly identify individuals, who require clinical treatment. Accurate dose estimates can be made by biological dosimetry, to predict the acute radiation syndrome (ARS) within days after a radiation accident or a malicious act involving radiation. Timely information on dose is important for the medical management of acutely irradiated persons [1]. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of the micronuclei (MNi) scoring procedure in an experimental mode, where 500 binucleated cells were analyzed in different exposure dose ranges. Whole-body exposure was simulated in an in vitro experiment by irradiating whole blood collected from one healthy donor with 60 MeV protons and 250 keV X-rays, in the dose range of 0.3-4.0 Gy. For achieving meaningful results, sample scoring was performed by three independent persons, who followed guidelines described in ...
Cancer is a stochastic effect of radiation, meaning that the probability of occurrence increases with effective radiation dose, but the severity of the cancer is independent of dose. The speed at which cancer advances, the prognosis, the degree of pain, and every other feature of the disease are not functions of the radiation dose to which the person is exposed. This contrasts with the deterministic effects of acute radiation syndrome which increase in severity with dose above a threshold. Cancer starts with a single cell whose operation is disrupted. Normal cell operation is controlled by the chemical structure of DNA molecules, also called chromosomes. When radiation deposits enough energy in organic tissue to cause ionization, this tends to break molecular bonds, and thus alter the molecular structure of the irradiated molecules. Less energetic radiation, such as visible light, only causes excitation, not ionization, which is usually dissipated as heat with relatively little chemical damage. ...
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ /ACUTE RADIATION SYNDROME/ Fifty persons involved in the cesium-137 accident in Goiania showed symptoms of whole-body and local acute irradiation and also external or internal contamination mainly due to ingestion or absorption of cesium-137. Fourteen of the 50 developed severe bone marrow depression characterized by neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Eight of these 14 received GM-CSF intravenously. None were submitted to bone marrow transplantation. Four of the 14 died due to hemorrhage and infection. For those with significant internal contamination evaluated by in-vitro and in-vivo assays, Prussian Blue was administered with doses ranging from 1.5 to 10 g/day. Besides Prussian Blue, other measures were taken to increase decorporation of cesium-137, including administration of diuretics, water overload, and ergometric exercises. From 50 to 100 persons are being followed in a medical protocol ...
BackgroundIonizing radiation induces lipid peroxidation and forms reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell. Due to their highly reactive state, ROS have short diffusion distances and quickly transfer unbalanced electrons to neighboring molecules. This transfer cycle continues until it finally culminates in the generation of reactive alkenals such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE). Under normal conditions, intracellular 4HNE levels are controlled by conjugation to glutathione and are actively transported from the cell; RLIP76 protein has been determined to be the major transport protein involved in the efflux of 4HNE-conjugates. Radiation induces significant oxidative stress, and the increased levels of 4HNE conjugates overwhelm transport capacity. When this occurs, further conjugation is inhibited and free 4HNE levels rise, triggering apoptosis. It was hypothesized that adding exogenous RLIP76 protein would reduce 4HNE levels and correspondingly increase the recovery from acute radiation syndrome (ARS) or
HAIFA, Israel, July 18, 2013-- Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., a leading developer of placenta-based cell therapies, announced today that the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, has recommended to Pluristem that NIAID expand the scope of its ongoing animal research using PLX-RAD cells for the treatment of acute radiation syndrome.
Appropriate models are essential for making the transition from scientific discoveries to meaningful applications of the knowledge for human use. Acute as well as delayed effects of ionising radiation to the biological systems develop hierarchically starting from damage to the vital macromolecules up to the disturbances caused at the whole organism level. In vitro models like bacteria, yeast, various mammalian cells cultured as monolayers (2-D) and spheroids (3-D) as well as cells with specific genetic alterations have provided insight into the complex relationships between damage induction and various signal transduction pathways, allowing identification of molecular and sub-cellular targets vital to the fate of irradiated cells. On the other hand, in vivo models (multicellular whole organisms), ranging from simple worms to non-human primates, have been gainfully employed to evaluate efficacy as well as toxicity of potential countermeasure agents (molecules, combinations and formulated ...

Sorption Detoxification as an Addition to Conventional Therapy of Acute Radiation Sickness and Iatrogenic Leukopenia. By Oksana O. Shevchuk, Elisaveta A. Snezhkova, Anatoliy G. Bilous, Veronika V. Sarnatskaya, Kvitoslava I. Badakhivska, Larysa A. Sakhno, Vasyl F. Chekhun and Volodymyr G. Nikolaev. Leukopenia is an essential part of the clinical course of acute radiation sickness and is a side effect of anti-cancer treatment. In both situations, the main factors which determine the survival are the degree of bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal tract damage due to the presence of a large pool of fast-dividing cells. Leuko- and neutropenia are main limiting factors which may contribute to chemotherapy failure. Hematopoietic cytokines the part of conventional therapy in this field, but their effects require boosting. That is why the use of means and methods of adsorption therapy is considered promising. Sorption therapy creates a basis for sorption detoxification, a doctrine of curative ...

The rationale for the use of the Animal Rule must be supported by proof-of-concept animal studies designed to ensure animal welfare, demonstrate relevance of the animal model (species susceptibility to the toxic agent and toxic response similar to humans), define the endpoint used to assess efficacy and predict human clinical benefit (eg, relief or prevention of adverse effects), ensure data quality and integrity in a contained environment, and be conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines. When efficacy is demonstrated in a single study, conducted in a sufficiently well‑characterized animal model, it may be necessary to repeat the study, preferably in another laboratory for confirmation. The investigational drug/biologic used in the adequate and well-controlled animal efficacy studies and in the animal pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics studies used to select a dose and dosing regimen in humans, ideally should be manufactured under current GMP regulations and be as close ...
Read Transcript, Download (.mov, 14MB). This final segment introduces the Clinical Decision Guide, a critical benchmark that can be used by clinicians in addition to other factors to help determine if medical countermeasures are indicated for a particular patient.. The Clinical Decision Guide (CDG) is an operational quantity that is specific to a type of radionuclide and a route of exposure (e.g. cesium-137 inhalational exposure). The CDG of children (0-18 yrs) and pregnant women is 20% that of adults.. For most radionuclides, the CDG is defined by the amount (activity) of radioactive material delivering an effective dose of 0.25 Sieverts (Sv) after incorporation into the body. This dose represents about a 1.3% lifetime risk of fatal cancer attributable to the exposure. Radiation measurements from a urine sample above a CDG value suggest the potential for a higher attributable lifetime fatal cancer risk and may help clinicians decide whether or not to start countermeasure treatment.. The CDG can ...

Illnesses collectively called acute radiation syndrome occur within a few hours to months after exposure to high-dose radiation (from approximately 1-2 Gy to 10 Gy). The principal signs and symptoms include vomiting within a few hours, followed within days to weeks by diarrhea, reduced blood cell counts, bleeding, hair loss (epilation), and temporary male sterility. Diarrhea results from damage to cells lining the intestines, reduction in blood cells from death of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow, and bleeding from declining blood platelets generated from such stem cells. Hair is lost due to damage to hair-root cells. Hairs do not fall out but rather become thinner and eventually break off. Sterility occurs in men from damage to sperm-generating stem cells ...
HealthDay News) -- Once astronauts leave the Earths protective magnetic field, their cancer risk would soar while traveling to Mars, new research indicates.. Scientists said radiation exposure during a long-term deep-space mission would not only affect already damaged cells but also healthy ones nearby, doubling cancer risk.. Cosmic rays cause significant cell damage due from exposure to radiation, protons and heavy ions, the authors explained. Previous research has shown the health risks of deep space travel include cancer, cataracts, acute radiation syndromes, and problems with circulation and the central nervous system.. Typical risk models, including those used by NASA, assume radiation cancers are caused by DNA damage and mutations. These models, however, are based on much shorter times than a Mars mission would require, researchers noted.. Exploring Mars will require missions of 900 days or longer and includes more than one year in deep space where exposures to all energies of galactic ...

Purpose: Studies of the association between ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) gene polymorphisms and acute radiation injuries are often small in sample size, and the results are inconsistent. We conducted the first meta-analysis to provide a systematic review of published findings. Methods and Materials: Publications were identified by searching PubMed up to April 25, 2014. Primary meta-analysis was performed for all acute radiation injuries, and subgroup meta-analyses were based on clinical endpoint. The influence of sample size and radiation injury incidence on genetic effects was estimated in sensitivity analyses. Power calculations were also conducted. Results: The meta-analysis was conducted on the ATM polymorphism rs1801516, including 5 studies with 1588 participants. For all studies, the cut-off for differentiating cases from controls was grade 2 acute radiation injuries. The primary meta-analysis showed a significant association with overall acute radiation injuries (allelic model: ...
The purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to determine if X-irradiation can be considered a direct stress agent, and if so, to what extent it differs from other stressors; and (2) to further elucidate the role of the adrenal cortex in the radiation syndrome by determining the more immediate responses of this system to X-irradiation.

While the concept of brain death is widely accepted, no universal criteria exist for its determination. This study compared guidelines from 80 countries finding that all standards specified exclusion of confounders, irreversible coma, absent motor response, and lack of brain-stem reflexes (see Wijdicks, The Diagnosis of Brain Death for more information). The majority of countries had medical practice standards (88%), legal standards (69%), utilized some form of apnea testing (59%), and required more than one physicians declaration (50%). Specifics varied widely on the qualifications of the physician, methods of apnea testing, and observation time before pronouncement of death. Regional differences were also noted, such as mandatory laboratory tests in Europe and Asia. Within the United States, brain death determination has been left to each state to decide (44 states and the District of Columbia have guidelines) whereas most African countries do not. Even if guidelines are not standardized, ...

The threat of bioterrorism, long ignored and denied, has heightened over the past few years. Recent events in Iraq, Japan, and Russia cast an ominous shadow. Two candidate agents are of special concern: smallpox and anthrax. The magnitude of the problems and the gravity of the scenarios associated with release of these organisms have been vividly portrayed by two epidemics of smallpox in Europe during the 1970s and by an accidental release of aerosolized anthrax from a Russian bioweapons facility in 1979. Efforts in the United States to deal with possible incidents involving bioweapons in the civilian sector have only recently begun and have made only limited progress. Only with substantial additional resources at the federal, state, and local levels can a credible and meaningful response be mounted. For longer-term solutions, the medical community must educate both the public and policy makers about bioterrorism and build a global consensus condemning its use.

There is growing global consensus that the Information and communication technologies (ICTs), and particularly Internet are providing a new framework and huge opportunities for economic, political and social development. The World Summit for Social Development (WSSD, Copenhagen, 1995) recognized that the new information technologies and new approaches to access to and use of technologies by people living in poverty can help in fulfilling social development goals; and therefore recognize the need to facilitate access to such technologies. WSSD emphasized that promoting access for all to education, information, technology and know-how is an essential means for enhancing communication and participation in civil, political, economic, social and cultural life, and for ensuring respect for civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), Geneva 2003 - Tunis 2005, the Copenhagen Declaration and Tunis Commitment all recognized that ICTs is a key to
