Abstract：
:Exposure to ionizing radiation leads to severe damages in radiosensitive organs and induces acute radiation syndrome, including effects on the hematopoietic system and gastrointestinal system. In this study, the radioprotective ability of KMRC011, a novel toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) agonist, was investigated in C57BL6/N mice exposed to lethal total-body gamma-irradiation. In a 30-day survival study, KMRC011-treated mice had a significantly improved survival rate compared with control after 11 Gy total-body irradiation (TBI), and it was found that the radioprotective activity of KMRC011 depended on its dosage and repeated treatment. In a 5-day short-term study, we demonstrated that KMRC011 treatment stimulated cell proliferation and had an anti-apoptotic effect. Furthermore, KMRC011 increased the expressions of genes related to DNA repair, such as Rad21, Gadd45b, Sod2 and Irg1, in the small intestine of lethally irradiated mice. Interestingly, downregulation of NF-κB p65 in the mouse intestine by KMRC011 treatment was observed. This data indicated that KMRC011 exerted a radioprotective activity partially by regulating NF-κB signaling. Finally, peak expression levels of G-CSF, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IP-10 induced by KMRC011 treatment were different depending on the route of administration and type of cytokine. These cytokines could be used as candidate biomarkers for the evaluation of KMRC011 clinical efficacy. Our data indicated that KMRC011 has radioprotective activity in lethally irradiated mice and may be developed as a therapeutic agent for radioprotection.
