We investigated the outcome of suppression of renin angiotensin system (RAS) using Captopril combined with an antioxidant (EUKarion-207) for mitigation of radiation-induced lung damage in rats. The thoracic cavity of female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was irradiated with single dose of 11 Gy. Treatment with Captopril at a dose of 40 mg/kg/day in drinking water and EUK-207 given by subcutaneous injection (8 mg/kg daily) was started 1 week (wk) post-irradiation (PI) and continuing until 14 wks PI. Breathing rate was monitored until the rats were sacrificed at 32 wks PI when lung fibrosis was assessed by lung hydroxyproline content. Lung levels of the cytokine, Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β1, and macrophage activation were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Oxidative DNA damage was assessed by 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels and lipid peroxidation was measured by a T-BARS assay. The increase in breathing rate in the irradiated rats was significantly reduced by the drug treatments. The drug treatment also significantly decreased the hydroxyproline content, 8-OHdG and malondialdehyde levels, and levels of activated macrophages and the cytokine TGF-β1 at 32 wks. Almost complete mitigation of these radiation effects was observed by combining Captopril and EUK-207. Captopril and EUK-207 can provide mitigation of radiation-induced lung damage out to at least 32 wks PI following treatment given 1–14 wks PI. Overall the combination of Captopril and EUK-207 was more effective than the individual drugs used alone.
