We recently demonstrated the protective effects of several p53-regulating agents against low-LET X- or γ-ray-induced damage: Sodium orthovanadate (vanadate) markedly rescued mice from bone marrow death following total-body X-irradiation through inhibition of p53 activity, and 5-chloro-8-quinolinol (5CHQ) effectively suppressed the intestinal death in the abdominally irradiated mice via modulation of p53 transactivation. Although it was reported that high-LET heavy ion radiation (> 85 keV/μm) could cause p53-independent cell death in some cancer cell lines, whether there is any radioprotective effect of the p53-regulating agents against the high-LET radiation injury in vivo is still unclear. In the present study we verified and confirmed the efficacy of these agents on bone marrow and intestinal damages induced by high-LET carbon-ion irradiation in mice. Vanadate dramatically improved 60-day survival rate in mice treated with total-body carbon-ion irradiation, indicating its effective protection of the hematopoietic system from radiation injury. 5CHQ slightly increased the survival rate after abdominal irradiation, suggesting the moderate relief of the intestinal damage. More detailed investigation is currently in progress to clarify the mechanisms involved in protecting the mice from high-LET radiation. \n, 国際セミナー・ワークショップ ”Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences: A seminar and workshop”.}, title = {Protective effects of p53-regulating agents against high-LET radiation-induced injury in mice}, year = {2018} }
