Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer causes adverse secondary side effects in the salivary glands and results in diminished quality of life for the patient. A previous in vivo study in parotid salivary glands demonstrated that targeted head and neck irradiation resulted in marked increases in phosphorylated p53 (serine18) and apoptosis, which was suppressed in transgenic mice expressing a constitutively active mutant of Akt1 (myr-Akt1). Transgenic and knockout mouse models were exposed to irradiation and p53-mediated transcription, apoptosis, and salivary gland dysfunction were analyzed. We report that the pro-apoptotic p53 target genes PUMA and Bax are induced in parotid salivary glands of mice at early time points following therapeutic radiation. This dose-dependent induction requires expression of p53 as no radiation-induced expression of PUMA and Bax is observed in p53−/− mice. Radiation also induces apoptosis in the parotid gland in a dose dependent manner, which is p53-dependent. Furthermore, expression of p53 is required for the acute and chronic loss of salivary function following irradiation. In contrast, p53−/− mice do not induce apoptosis and preserve salivary function after radiation exposure. These results indicate that apoptosis in the salivary glands following therapeutic head and neck irradiation is mediated by p53 and corresponds to salivary gland dysfunction in vivo.
