Gene context of Radiation Pneumonitis

  • PURPOSE: To investigate the expression of a new fibrogenic cytokine the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in intestinal radiation fibrosis and to characterize the mesenchymal cell subtypes involved in CTGF synthesis and collagen deposition [15].
  • Analysis of a panel of circulating cytokines with different putative functions in radiation pulmonary injury identified IL-1alpha and IL-6 as early circulating cytokine markers for radiation pneumonitis [18].
  • The pattern of changes of MCP-1, E-selectin, L-selectin, TGF-beta1, and bFGF varied, but none of these cytokines correlated with radiation pneumonitis [18].
  • Then, in striking contrast to the other two cytokines, an increase in TGF-beta2 mRNA occurred at around 120 days and correlated with the detection of organizing alveolitis/radiation fibrosis and mortality [19].
  • CONCLUSION: Early variations of circulating IL-6 and IL-10 levels during 3D-CRT are significantly associated with the risk of radiation pneumonitis [1].
