Abstract:Accidental radiation exposure causes the acute lethal damage of hematopoietic system and gastrointestinal tract1,2. By establishing an ionizing radiation (IR) induced injury model, we found macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 (MALP-2) exhibited significant radioprotective effects in mice. MALP-2 improved the survival of irradiated mice, inhibited the radiation-induced gastrointestinal tract damage. Through intestinal organoid experiments, we found that MALP-2 protected the intestinal organoid against IR-induce… Show more
