Development of new treatments is critical to effective protection against radiation-induced injury. Here we investigate the potential of developing small molecule inhibitors of GSK-3β, SB216763 or SB415286, as radioprotective agents to attenuate intestinal injury. Survival study was done using C57/BL6 mice to evaluate radioprotective effect of GSK-3β inhibitors. TUNEL assay and immunohistochemical staining for Bax and Bcl-2 were used to assess apoptosis in small intestines of the treated mice. Clonogenic survival study, apoptosis assays (staining with Annexin V or DAPI), and immunoblot analysis of β-catenin, Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase-3 were done using IEC-6 cells. Pretreatment with SB415286 significantly improved survival of mice irradiated with 8 and 12 Gy. Mice pretreated with SB216763 or SB415286 showed significant reduction in TUNEL- and Bax-positive and an increase in Bcl-2-positive cells in intestinal crypts at 4 and/or 12 h after radiation with 4 and/or 8 Gy compared to radiation alone. Pretreatment of irradiated IEC-6 cells with GSK-3β inhibitors significantly increased clonogenic survival compared to cells treated with radiation alone. This increase was due to the attenuation of radiation-induced apoptosis, as demonstrated by Annexin V and DAPI assays, and immunoblot analysis of Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase-3. GSK-3β small molecule inhibitors protect mouse intestines from radiation-induced damage in cell culture and in vivo and improve survival of mice. Molecular mechanisms of this protection involve attenuated radiation-induced apoptosis regulated by Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3. Therefore, GSK-3β inhibitors reduce deleterious consequences of intestinal irradiation and thereby improve quality of life during radiation therapy.
