Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate long-term effects of radiation on the (ultra)structure and function of the liver in mice. The experiments were conducted on wild-type C57BL/6J and apolipoprotein E knock-out (ApoE-/-) male mice which received a single dose (2 or 8 Gy) of X-rays to the heart with simultaneous exposure of liver to low doses (no more than 30 and 120 mGy, respectively). Livers were collected for analysis 60 weeks after irradiation and used for morphological, ultrastructural, and biochemical studies. The results show increased damage to mitochondrial ultrastructure and lipid deposition in hepatocytes of irradiated animals as compared to non-irradiated controls. Stronger radiation-related effects were noted in ApoE-/- mice than wild-type animals. In contrast, radiation-related changes in the activity of lysosomal hydrolases, including acid phosphatase, β-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidase, β-galactosidase, and α-glucosidase, were observed in wild type but not in ApoE-deficient mice, which together with ultrastructural picture suggests a higher activity of autophagy in ApoE-proficient animals. Irradiation caused a reduction of plasma markers of liver damage in wild-type mice, while an increased level of ...Continue Reading
