Abstract

Exposure of mice to total body irradiation induces nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) activation in a tissue-specific manner. In addition to the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow, the tissues that exhibit NFkappaB activation now include the newly identified site of the intestinal epithelial cells. NFkappaB activated by total body irradiation mainly consists of NFkappaB p50/RelA heterodimers, and genetically targeted disruption of the NFkappaB p50 gene in mice significantly decreased the activation. By comparing tissue damage and lethality in wild-type and NFkappaB p50 knockout (p50-/-) mice after they were exposed to increasing doses of total body irradiation, we additionally examined the role of NFkappaB activation in total body irradiation-induced tissue damage. The results show that p50-/- mice are more sensitive to total body irradiation-induced lethality than wild-type mice (LD50/Day 7: wild-type = 13.12 Gy versus p50-/- = 7.75 Gy and LD50/Day 30: wild-type = 9.31 Gy versus p50-/- = 7.81 Gy). The increased radiosensitivity of p50-/- mice was associated with an elevated level of apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells and decreased survival of the small intestinal crypts compared with wild-type mice (P < 0.01). In additio...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
