Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) is a severe side effect of thoracic radiotherapy. This study examined the effects of PTX and α-tocopherol on cardiac injury in a rat model of RIHD. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received fractionated local heart irradiation with a daily dose of 9 Gy for 5 days and were observed for six months after irradiation. Rats were treated with a combination of pentoxifylline (PTX, 100 mg/kg/day) and α-tocopherol (20 IU/kg/day) and received these compounds either from one week before until six months after irradiation or starting three months after irradiation, a time point at which histopathological changes become apparent in our model of RIHD. Radiation-induced increases in left ventricular diastolic pressure (in mmHg: 35 ± 6 after sham-irradiation, 82 ± 11 after irradiation) were significantly reduced by PTX and α-tocopherol (early treatment: 48 ± 7, late treatment: 53 ± 6). PTX and α-tocopherol significantly reduced deposition of collagen types I (radiation only: 3.5 ± 0.2 μm2 per 100 μm2, early treatment: 2.7 ± 0.8, late treatment: 2.2 ± 0.2) and III (radiation only: 13.9 ± 0.8, early treatment: 11.0 ± 1.2, late treatment: 10.6 ± 0.8). On the other hand, radiation-induced alterations in heart/body weight ratios, myocardial degeneration, left ventricular mast cell densities, and most echocardiographic parameters were not significantly altered by PTX and α-tocopherol. treatment with PTX and α-tocopherol may have beneficial effects on radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis and left ventricular ex vivo function, both when started before irradiation and when started later during the process of RIHD.
