Abstract

We studied radioprotection and mitigation by mitochondrial-targeted Tempol (GS-nitroxide, JP4-039), in a mouse injury/irradiation model of combined injury (fracture/irradiation). Right hind legs of control C57BL/6NHsd female mice, mice pretreated with MnSOD-PL, JP4-039, or with amifostine were irradiated with single and fractionated doses of 0 to 20 Gy. Twenty-four hours later, unicortical holes were drilled into the tibiae of both hind legs; at intervals, tibias were excised, radiographed, and processed for histology. Bone wounds irradiated to 20 or 30 Gy showed delayed healing at 21 to 28 days. Treatment with JP4-039 MnSOD-PL or amifostine, before or after single fraction 20 Gy or during fractionated irradiation followed by drilling accelerated wound healing at days 21 and 28. Orthotopic 3LL tumors were not protected by JP4-039 or amifostine. In nonirradiated mice, pretreatment with JP4-039 accelerated bone wound healing. This test system should be useful for the development of new small molecule radioprotectors.
