10 Acute Radiation Syndromes (ARS) Hematopoietic Gastrointestinal Cardiovascular/CNS Does tolerance (radiosensitivity) and cell death in critical tissues explain syndromes?

11 Hematopoietic Syndrome Critical cells: Stem/precursor cells Dose: 0.5 Gy (lymphocytes) Cause of death: infection

19 Incident: Dose: Worker A: September 1999, Tokai-mura, 3 workers TBI: 18 Gy; ~30 Gy G.I. tract small intestine: 12 5 Gy (neutrons) Gy (grays ) Immediate: nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, diarrhea (1 hr) Admission: febrile, hypotensive, drowsy, abdominal pain

20 Incident: Dose: September 1999, Tokai-mura, 3 workers Worker A: Treatment: cytokines (G-CSF), BMT (day 2), PBCT, tract decontamination Symptoms: respiratory failure, severe skin lesions, g.i. bleeding, diarrhea (4 wks) Death: 82 days

21 Acute Radiation Syndromes (ARS) Hematopoietic Gastrointestinal Multi-organ syndrome (MODS/MOFS) Cardiovascular/CNS

22 Multiple Organ Dysfunction / Failure Cause: Dose: overall host response, radiation-induced systemic response >10 Gy Latency: weeks to months Symptoms: fever, tachycardia, hyperventilation, and/or hypocarbia Death: multiple organ failure (liver, kidney, lungs)

23 Radiation ROS cell death free radical scavengers anti-apoptotics

24 Radiation ROS stem/progenitor cell loss cell death stem cell transfusions cytokines/growth factors

25 Radiation ROS stem/progenitor cell loss cell death stem cell transfusions cytokines/growth factors mesenchymal stem cells

26 stem/progenitor cell loss Radiation cell death ROS altered barrier function (g.i., skin, brain) antibiotics, antifungals mesenchymal stem cells FGF-P, anti-vegf (BBB)

27 stem/progenitor cell loss Radiation cell death / injury ROS altered barrier function mitochondrial damage

28 stem/progenitor cell loss Radiation cell death / injury ROS altered barrier function inflammatory cell loss/recruitment ROS mitochondrial damage dysfunctional immune response cytokine expression anti-fungals antibiotics vaccines anti-oxidants anti-inflammatories cytokine inhibitors

29 stem/progenitor cell loss Radiation cell death / injury ROS altered barrier function inflammatory cell loss/recruitment ROS mitochondrial damage dysfunctional immune response cytokine expression anti-fibrotics anti-inflammatories small molecule inhibitors tissue remodeling

30 Conclusions Acute radiation syndrome is now recognized as more than the simple consequence of cell death in stem cell compartment Multiple approaches may be needed to treat severe radiation injury Responding medical personnel need to look beyond immediate symptoms
