Effects of Gamma-Tocotrienol on Intestinal Injury in a GI-Specific Acute Radiation Syndrome Model in Nonhuman Primate

Sarita Garg et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of the vitamin E analog gamma-tocotrienol (GT3) on GI recovery in nonhuman primates (NHPs) after total-body irradiation. The results showed that GT3 promoted the survival and proliferation of intestinal stem cells, reduced cell apoptosis, and had a radioprotective function. Therefore, GT3 has the potential to be used as a prophylactic medical countermeasure for radiation-induced GI injury.

Lung transcriptome of nonhuman primates exposed to total- and partial-body irradiation

Neetha Nanoth Vellichirammal et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of a supralethal dose of radiation on alterations in the lung transcriptome using a nonhuman primate model. Significant radiation-induced changes in the lung transcriptome were observed for both total-body irradiation (TBI) and partial-body irradiation (PBI), with common signaling pathways being upregulated in both exposures.

Effects of Gamma-Tocotrienol on Partial-Body Irradiation-Induced Intestinal Injury in a Nonhuman Primate Model

Sarita Garg et al.

Summary: Exposure to high doses of radiation can cause gastrointestinal injury, and there are currently no effective therapies available for mitigating this damage. Gamma-tocotrienol (GT3) is being investigated as a potential radioprotector, but its effectiveness in accelerating gastrointestinal recovery has not been well-studied. This study examined the effects of GT3 in nonhuman primates exposed to partial-body irradiation and found that it had some protective effects in reducing intestinal injury and promoting cell proliferation, although its impact on citrulline levels was minimal.

Total body irradiation models in NHPs - consideration of animal sex and provision of supportive care to advance model development

Tyler Beach et al.

Summary: The use of sex-specific animal models and different levels of supportive care can affect the dose to mortality response of rhesus macaques in total body irradiation models. Studies show that females have higher mortality rates than males at identical radiation doses, and blood transfusions can increase survival rates for male animals at lower doses but not at high doses of radiation exposure.

Radiation countermeasures for hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome: growth factors, cytokines and beyond

Vijay K. Singh et al.

Summary: This article reports on the status of pharmaceuticals in late stage development for treating acute injuries caused by radiological/nuclear exposures. Four medications have been deemed safe and effective by the US FDA for hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS), primarily recombinant growth factors. Additional medications are needed for other sub-syndromes of ARS, potentially through a polypharmaceutical or bioengineered approach.

Long-Term Recovery of the Adaptive Immune System in Rhesus Macaques After Total Body Irradiation

Andrew N. Macintyre et al.

Summary: A prospective study on the delayed immune effects of radiation in rhesus macaques revealed that ionizing radiation can cause subtle but long-lasting immune defects, characterized by changes in specific immune cell frequencies and incomplete T cell reconstitution. These findings highlight the need for further research on the immunological consequences of irradiation.
