Radioprotective effects of Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 against irradiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction
Irradiation can cause salivary gland hypofunction, with hyposalivation producing discomfort, health risks, and reducing function in daily life. Despite increasing translational research interest in radioprotection, there are no satisfactory treatments available. Keratinocyte growth factor-1 stimulates proliferation of salivary epithelial cells or salivary stem/progenitor cells. However, the exa...
متن کاملNeurturin Gene Therapy Protects Parasympathetic Function to Prevent Irradiation-Induced Murine Salivary Gland Hypofunction
Head and neck cancer patients treated with irradiation often present irreversible salivary gland hypofunction for which no conventional treatment exists. We recently showed that recombinant neurturin, a neurotrophic factor, improves epithelial regeneration of mouse salivary glands in ex vivo culture after irradiation by reducing apoptosis of parasympathetic neurons. Parasympathetic innervation ...
متن کاملEffects of keratinocyte growth factor (palifermin) administration protocols on oral mucositis (mouse) induced by fractionated irradiation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aim of this study was to assess the impact of the administration protocol of palifermin on amelioration of oral mucositis after fractionated irradiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mouse tongue ulceration was analysed as the clinically relevant endpoint. Daily fractionated irradiation (5 x 3 Gy/week, days 0 to +4, +7 to +11, with a weekend gap on days +5 and +6) was followed...
متن کاملRadioprotective effect of thymol against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats
The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of thymol as a natural product against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats. The rats were treated with thymol at dose of 50 mg/Kg before exposure to radiation at dose 15Gy. Salivary gland function was evaluated with radioisotope scintigraphy and then salivary gland to background counts ratio was ca...
متن کاملEffect of One Time Irradiation of Uvb Non Keratinocyte Growth Factor Gene Expression in Mice
Purpose: Skin is continuously exposed to many hazardous environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation (UV). Many investigations have been shown to cause skin damages. The aim of present research was to study the effect of a single time of UVB radiation on the expression pattern of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) gene in mice. Materials and Methods: UVB (30 mJ/cm2 and 50 mJ/cm2) were rad...
