- W2045244498 abstract "PurposeThis study was performed to evaluate the protective benefit of amifostine against esophageal injury from fractionated radiation in a rodent model.MethodsFractionated or sham esophageal irradiation was administered to Fisher-344 rats for 5 consecutive daily fractions of 9 Gy using 150 kV X-rays. Animals received an intraperitoneal injection of amifostine or placebo 30 min before each fraction. Histopathologic analyses for mucosal thickness, submucosal collagen deposition, activation of macrophages, oxidative stress and expression/activation of integrinαvβ6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)–β were performed 5 days and 10 weeks after irradiation.ResultsPre-RT mean mucosal thickness was 35 μm in both the placebo and the amifostine groups. Five days post-RT, mean mucosal thicknesses were 30 μm in the placebo group versus 37 μm in the amifostine group (p = 0.024). At 10 weeks post-RT, the group receiving amifostine experienced a significant decrease in tunica muscularis damage (p = 0.002), submucosal collagen deposition (p = 0.027), and macrophage accumulation (p = 0.026) when compared with the placebo group. The levels of immunoreactivity for oxidative stress, TGF-β, and integrinαvβ6 were significantly decreased 10 weeks post-RT in the group receiving amifostine treatment compared with placebo group.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that amifostine given before each radiation fraction protects against acute and chronic esophageal injury in a rodent model. Protection of the mucosal epithelium integrity by amifostine prevents integrinαvβ6 expression which reduces TGF-β activation and subsequent development of chronic esophageal injury in this model. Further investigation is necessary to determine the clinical relevance of these findings.
