Gastrointestinal injury is a major cause of death following exposure to high levels of radiation, and no effective treatments are currently available. In this study, we examined the capacity of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to mitigate intestinal injury in, and improve survival of, C3H/HeN mice given a lethal dose (12 Gy) of radiation to the abdomen. G-CSF (100 mu g/kg body weight) was injected subcutaneously daily for 3 days after irradiation and shown to improve survival and intestinal morphology at 3.5 days compared with saline-injected controls. The morphological features improved by G-CSF included crypt number and depth, villous length, and the length of basal lamina of 10 enterocytes. G-CSF also normalized the levels of circulating tumor necrosis factor alpha and attenuated the loss of peripheral neutrophils, caused by radiation-induced myelosuppression. In conclusion, our results suggest that G-CSF enhanced the survival of irradiated mice and minimized the effects of radiation on gastrointestinal injury. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
