Connexin 43 Prevents Radiation-Induced Intestinal Damage via the Ca2+-Dependent PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway
This study aimed to investigate the expression and role of connexins in RIID and underlying mechanism. In this study, a calcein-AM fluorescence probe was used to detect changes in gap junctional intercellular communication in intestinal epithelial IEC-6 cells. Our results show that gap junctional intercellular communication of IEC-6 cells was reduced at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after irradiation, with the most pronounced effect at 24 h. Western blotting and immunofluorescence results showed that the expression of Cx43, but not other connexins, was reduced in irradiated intestinal epithelial cells. Silencing of Cx43 reduced gap ...

FSL-1: A Synthetic Peptide Increases Survival in a Murine Model of Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome
Radiat Res. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.1667/RADE-23-00142.1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the current geopolitical climate there is an unmet need to identify and develop prophylactic radiation countermeasures, particularly to ensure the well-being of warfighters and first responders that may be required to perform on radiation-contaminated fields for operational or rescue missions. Currently, no countermeasures have been approved by the U.S. FDA for prophylactic administration. Here we report on the efficacious nature of FSL-1 (toll-like receptor 2/6 agonist) and the protection from acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in a murine...

Consumption of Apigenin Prevents Radiation-induced Gut Dysbiosis in Male C57BL/6J Mice Exposed to Silicon Ions
In conclusion, our results demonstrate the potential of dietary apigenin as a countermeasure against radiation-induced gut injuries due to its anti-inflammatory activity, reduction of gut microbiota dysbiosis, and increase in probiotic bacteria (e.g., Lachnospiraceae, Muribaculaceae and Bifidobacteriaceae).PMID:38373016 | DOI:10.1667/RADE-23-00110.1 (Source: Radiation Research)
