Fibrosis is a late toxicity of thoracic irradiation that can result in substantial morbidity. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a critical mediator of cellular senescence and fibrin stabilization. We sought to determine if the delivery of recombinant truncated PAI-1 protein (rPAI-123) would protect from the development of radiation-induced lung injury. C57Bl/6 mice received intraperitoneal injections of rPAI-123 (5.4 μg/kg/day) or vehicle for 18 weeks beginning two days prior to radiation exposure (5 daily fractions of 6 Gy). Cohorts of mice were followed for survival (n=8 per treatment) and tissue collection (n=3 per treatment and time point). Fibrosis in lung was assessed with Masson-Trichrome staining and measurement of hydroxyproline content. Senescence was assessed with staining for beta-galactosidase activity in lung and primary pneumocytes. Hydroxyproline content in irradiated lung was significantly reduced in mice that received rPAI-123 compared to mice that received vehicle (IR+vehicle: 84.97, IR+rPAI-123: 56.2 μg/lung, p=0.001). C57Bl/6 mice exposed to IR+vehicle had dense foci of subpleural fibrosis at 19 weeks, whereas the lungs of mice exposed to IR+rPAI-123 were largely devoid of fibrotic foci. Cellular senescence was significantly decreased by rPAI-123 treatment in primary pneumocyte cultures and in lung at multiple time points after IR. These studies identify that rPAI-123 is capable of preventing radiation-induced fibrosis in murine lungs. These anti-fibrotic effects are associated with increased fibrin metabolism, enhanced matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) expression and reduced senescence in type II pneumocytes. rPAI-123 is a novel therapeutic option for radiation-induced fibrosis.
