Proteomic profiles in cardiomyocytes exposed to ionizing radiation and resveratrol: potential radioprotective mechanisms of the different resveratrol pretreatment regimens
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Resveratrol, a plant-derived antioxidant, may protect against radiation by modulating cellular metabolism and response to stress. Here, we explored its effects on human cardiomyocytes exposed to ionizing radiation. Resveratrol (5 µM) was administered for 1, 7, and 30 days before a single 2 Gy dose irradiation, and then radiation toxicity and changes in the proteome were evaluated. Extended resveratrol treatment (7 or 30 days) induced more profound proteomic changes than one-day treatment and partially counteracted toxic effects, leading to increased cell survival, reduced cell death, and fewer cells arrested in the G1 phase. Though resveratrol administration itself had a greater impact on the proteome than radiation alone, we identified three subsets of proteins differently affected by radiation depending on the resveratrol context. The first subset represented the core cellular response to radiation, unaffected by resveratrol. The second, linked to DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoints, and apoptosis, was affected by radiation only in the absence of resveratrol preconditioning, indicating the compound's protective effect. The third subset involved in metabolism regulation was affected by radiation only after extended resveratrol preconditioning. In conclusion, our data documented that the radioprotective effects of resveratrol are linked to a proteomic reprogramming of cardiomyocytes following prolonged exposure.
