Radiation exposure induced BBB injury via mitochondria-mediated non-infectious inflammation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a series of brain injuries caused by exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation, characterized by severe cognitive dysfunctions and brain necrosis.In this study, we described a biomimetic human blood-brain barrier (BBB) model that allowed to probe the responses to radiation exposure.This RNA-seq data illustrated that representative RIBI-associated pathological responses including BBB compromise, DNA break, inhibited cell proliferation, cell swelling and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines following acute radiation exposure. Collectively, the study uncovered an unknown mitochondria-mediated inflammation involved in the pathogenesis of RIBI, indicating mitochondria can be utilized as a potential target for developing new radioprotective measures.
