Radiobiological effect of abdominal X-ray hypo-fraction irradiation on Wistar rats liver
Tóm tắt
The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of abdominal hypo-fraction irradiation on liver damage in rats so as to provide a reference for its clinical application. A total of 100 Wistar rats were equally randomized to five groups as control, 4 Gy, 6 Gy, 8 Gy and 12 Gy group, and the corresponding fractionated doses were offered. Liver functions were examined at the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th week after irradiation. Morphological changes were observed by HE staining. Expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were examined by immunohistochemical technique. In all irradiation groups, hepatocellular swell, degeneration, necrosis and even hepatic fibrosis could be seen. The differences of the liver coefficient, Glutamyl pyruvic transaminase (GPT), Glutamyl oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) were significant among the groups and different time points (F = 11.833–781.972, F = 20.857–264.692, P < 0.001). Expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were significantly different between each group (F = 211.607, 116.577; P < 0. 001), and between each time point (F = 54.083, 68.749; P < 0. 001). Compare with conventional fraction, abdominal hypo-fraction irradiation may cause radiation damage to rat liver, being dose-and-time dependent. Up-regulation of activating apoptosis protein Bax and down-regulation of inhibiting apoptosis protein Bcl-2 may involve in the process.
