Development of gamma-tocotrienol as a radiation medical countermeasure for the acute radiation syndrome: current status and future perspectives

Vijay K. K. Singh et al.

Summary: The need for radiation medical countermeasures is growing due to the increasing possibility of radiological and nuclear emergencies. Gamma-tocotrienol, a component of vitamin E, is a promising radiation countermeasure that has shown significant efficacy in animal models of acute radiation syndrome.

Analysis of the Proteomic Profile in Serum of Irradiated Nonhuman Primates Treated with Ex-Rad, a Radiation Medical Countermeasure

Alana D. Carpenter et al.

Summary: There are four approved radiation medical countermeasures for hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome currently recognized by the FDA, all of which are repurposed radiomitigators. The evaluation of potential candidate drugs to be used during radiological/nuclear emergencies is ongoing. Ex-Rad, a chlorobenzyl sulfone derivative, has shown efficacy in mitigating radiation-induced damage and restoring protein homeostasis and immune response in nonhuman primates in this study. The findings suggest that targeting functionally significant pathways may protect vital organs and improve long-term survival outcomes.

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.

Gamma-Tocotrienol Modulates Total-Body Irradiation-Induced Hematopoietic Injury in a Nonhuman Primate Model

Tarun K. Garg et al.

Summary: Radiation exposure causes acute damage to hematopoietic and immune cells. A study on nonhuman primates has shown that GT3 can accelerate hematopoietic recovery and aid in the recovery of circulating neutrophils and platelets, suggesting its potential as a medical countermeasure for radiation-induced injury to the hematopoietic system.

Identification of Novel Biomarkers for Acute Radiation Injury Using Multiomics Approach and Nonhuman Primate Model

Amrita K. Cheema et al.

Summary: This study developed a multiomics-based serum probability index of radiation exposure using a nonhuman primate model. By analyzing metabolites, lipids, and proteins, a panel was constructed to accurately assess radiation exposure, which can contribute to the development of molecular diagnostic tools for radiation exposure.

Age and Sex Divergence in Hematopoietic Radiosensitivity in Aged Mouse Models of the Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome

Andrea M. Patterson et al.

Summary: This study developed aging murine models of hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) and investigated the radiation dose response relationships in middle-aged and geriatric mice. The findings revealed that radioresistance increased with age, particularly in males, and identified sex-specific functional and molecular changes in aging hematopoietic cells after irradiation.

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.

Model for Evaluating Antimicrobial Therapy To Prevent Life-Threatening Bacterial Infections following Exposure to a Medically Significant Radiation Dose

Andrew J. Phipps et al.

Summary: More evidence is needed to support recommendations for medical management of acute radiation syndrome and associated infections. A nonhuman primate model suggests that combination antibiotic therapy with hematopoietic growth factors is more effective than monotherapy, but further research is needed to identify the optimal antimicrobial therapy.

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.

Impact of Age, Sex, and Genetic Diversity in Murine Models of the Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome (H-ARS) and the Delayed Effects of Acute Radiation Exposure (DEARE)

Christie M. Orschell et al.

Summary: This review discusses critical factors in the development of murine models for H-ARS and DEARE, including the impact of age, sex, and genetic diversity on radiation responses. Recent studies have found that murine radioresistance increases with age, with higher resistance observed in male weanlings, pubescent females, and aged males. Jackson diversity outbred (JDO) mice and weanling models exhibit less DEARE compared to other models.

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.
