The Protective Effect of New Compound XH‐103 on Radiation‐Induced GI Syndrome

Abstract: Background Radiation-induced intestinal injury is one of the side effects in patients receiving radiotherapy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of XH-103 on radiation-induced small intestinal injury and to explore its mechanism. Methods C57BL/6N mice were irradiated and treated with XH-103. Firstly, the survival rate of mice exposed to 9.0 Gy and 11.0 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) was examined. Subsequently, at 3.5 d after IR, the small intestinal morphological changes wer… Show more

“…In this study, we found that the expression level of γH2AX was lower in the TZC01 group than in the solvent group. Caspase-3 is an apoptotic executor, which was used as an indicator of intestinal cell apoptosis in our study [ 31 , 32 ]. Caspase-3 gene expression in γ-radiation-induced cardiac apoptosis was significantly downregulated by zingerone in previous reports [ 33 ].…”

“…The maintenance of intestinal structural integrity is essential for intestinal absorption and defense function. After radiation, varying degrees of villi dullness and fusion, attenuation and hypertrophy of villi epithelial cells, and severe crypt loss may occur, leading to the destruction of epithelial homeostasis and epithelial integrity [ 9 ]. In addition to the ability of the intestinal epithelium to continuously renew itself, the intestine shows remarkable intestinal renewal and repair capacity after damage [ 29 , 36 ].…”
