The Proteoglycans Biglycan and Decorin Protect Cardiac Cells against Irradiation-Induced Cell Death by Inhibiting Apoptosis. Cells 2024; 13:883. [PMID: 38786104 PMCID: PMC11119486 DOI: 10.3390/cells13100883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD), a common side effect of chest irradiation, is a primary cause of mortality among patients surviving thoracic cancer. Thus, the development of novel, clinically applicable cardioprotective agents which can alleviate the harmful effects of irradiation on the heart is of great importance in the field of experimental oncocardiology. Biglycan and decorin are structurally related small leucine-rich proteoglycans which have been reported to exert cardioprotective properties in certain cardiovascular pathologies. Therefore, in the present study we aimed to examine if biglycan or decorin can reduce radiation-induced damage of cardiomyocytes. A single dose of 10 Gray irradiation was applied to induce radiation-induced cell damage in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts, followed by treatment with either biglycan or decorin at various concentrations. Measurement of cell viability revealed that both proteoglycans improved the survival of cardiac cells post-irradiation. The cardiocytoprotective effect of both biglycan and decorin involved the alleviation of radiation-induced proapoptotic mechanisms by retaining the progression of apoptotic membrane blebbing and lowering the number of apoptotic cell nuclei and DNA double-strand breaks. Our findings provide evidence that these natural proteoglycans may exert protection against radiation-induced damage of cardiac cells.

Abstract
Tissue chips have become one of the most potent research tools in the biomedical field. In contrast to conventional research methods, such as 2D cell culture and animal models, tissue chips more directly represent human physiological systems. This allows researchers to study therapeutic outcomes to a high degree of similarity to actual human subjects. Additionally, as rocket technology has advanced and become more accessible, researchers are using the unique properties offered by microgravity to meet specific challenges of modeling tissues on Earth; these include large organoids with sophisticated structures and models to better study aging and disease. This perspective explores the manufacturing and research applications of microgravity tissue chip technology, specifically investigating the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.

Abstract
Salivary glands are indirectly damaged during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, resulting in acute and chronic hyposalivation. Current treatments for radiation-induced hyposalivation do not permanently restore function to the gland; therefore, more mechanistic understanding of the damage response is needed to identify therapeutic targets for lasting restoration. Energy metabolism reprogramming has been observed in cancer and wound healing models to provide necessary fuel for cell proliferation; however, there is limited understanding of alterations in energy metabolism reprogramming in tissues that fail to heal. We measured extracellular acidification and oxygen consumption rates, assessed mitochondrial DNA copy number, and tested fuel dependency of irradiated primary salivary acinar cells. Radiation treatment leads to increases in glycolytic flux, oxidative phosphorylation, and ATP production rate at acute and intermediate time points. In contrast, at chronic radiation time points there is a significant decrease in glycolytic flux, oxidative phosphorylation, and ATP production rate. Irradiated salivary glands exhibit significant decreases in spare respiratory capacity and increases in mitochondrial DNA copy number at days 5 and 30 post-treatment, suggesting a mitochondrial dysfunction phenotype. These results elucidate kinetic changes in energy metabolism reprogramming of irradiated salivary glands that may underscore the chronic loss of function phenotype.

Chem Biol Drug Des 2024; 103:e14453. [PMID: 38230793 DOI: 10.1111/cbdd.14453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
This study was designed to explore the protective effect and mechanism of naringin (NG) on radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) in rats. Rats were divided into four x-ray (XR) irradiation groups with different absorbed doses (0/10/15/20 Gy), or into three groups (control, XR, and XR + NG groups). Subsequently, the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus was adopted to assess and compare the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), left ventricular internal diameter at end diastole (LVIDd), and left ventricular internal diameter at end systole (LVIDs) in rats. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and Masson staining were applied to detect the pathological damage and fibrosis of heart tissue. Western blot was used to measure the expression levels of myocardial fibrosis-related proteins, endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins, and Sirt1 (silent information regulator 1)/NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-B) signaling pathway-related proteins in cardiac tissues. Additionally, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was utilized to detect the activities of pro-inflammatory cytokines, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) in cardiac tissue. The results showed that NG treatment significantly attenuated the 20 Gy XR-induced decline of LVEF and LVFS and the elevation of LVIDs. Cardiac tissue damage and fibrosis caused by 20 Gy XR were significant improved after NG treatment. Meanwhile, in rats irradiated by XR, marked downregulation was identified in the expressions of fibrosis-related proteins (Col I, collagen type I; α-SMA, α-smooth muscle actin; and TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-beta 1) and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins (GRP78, glucose regulatory protein 78; CHOP, C/EBP homologous protein; ATF6, activating transcription factor 6; and caspase 12) after NG treatment. Moreover, NG treatment also inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)], reduced the expression of MDA, and promoted the activities of SOD and CAT. Also, NG treatment promoted Sirt1 expression and inhibited p65 phosphorylation. Collectively, XR irradiation induced cardiac injury in rats in a dose-dependent manner. NG could improve the cardiac injury induced by XR irradiation by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and activating Sirt1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2024; 118:203-217. [PMID: 37610394 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.07.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation-induced heart fibrosis (RIHF) is a severe consequence of radiation-induced heart damage (RIHD) leading to impaired cardiac function. The involvement of oncostatin M (OSM) and its receptor (OSMR) in RIHD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the specific mechanism of OSM/OSMR in RIHF/RIHD. METHODS AND MATERIALS RNA sequencing was performed on heart tissues from a RIHD mouse model. OSM levels were assessed in serum samples obtained from patients receiving thoracic radiation therapy (RT), as well as in RIHF mouse heart tissues and serum using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fiber activation was evaluated through costimulation of primary cardiac fibroblasts and NIH3T3 cells with RT and OSM, using Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Adeno-associated virus serotype 9-mediated overexpression or silencing of OSM specifically in the heart was performed in vivo to assess cardiac fibrosis levels by transthoracic echocardiography and pathologic examination. The regulatory mechanism of OSM on the transcription level of SMAD4 was further explored in vitro using mass spectrometric analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR, and DNA pull-down. RESULTS OSM levels were elevated in the serum of patients after thoracic RT as well as in RIHF mouse cardiac endothelial cells and mouse serum. The OSM rate (post-RT/pre-RT) and the heart exposure dose in RT patients showed a positive correlation. Silencing OSMR in RIHF mice reduced fibrosis, while OSMR overexpression increased fibrotic responses. Furthermore, increased OSM promoted histone acetylation (H3K27ac) in the SMAD4 promoter region, influencing SMAD4 transcription and subsequently enhancing fibrotic response. CONCLUSIONS The findings demonstrated that OSM/OSMR signaling promotes SMAD4 transcription in cardiac fibroblasts through H3K27 hyperacetylation, thereby promoting radiation-induced cardiac fibrosis and manifestations of RIHD.

Abstract
In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a widely used treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the combination with traditional radiotherapy (RT) has shown significant potential in prolonging patient survival. However, both thoracic RT and ICIs can lead to cardiac toxicity, including radiation-induced heart damage (RIHD) and immunotherapy-related heart damage (IRHD). It still remains uncertain whether the combination of thoracic RT and immunotherapy will exacerbate acute or late cardiovascular (CV) toxicity and incidence. In this review, we summarize safety data from relevant clinical studies regarding CV toxicity for the combination therapy in NSCLC patients, explore the underlying synergetic mechanisms and common risk factors, and proposed treatment and management strategies. We hope to increase emphasis on the long-term assessment of CV toxicity risks associated with the combination therapy, and reduce the incidence of CV deaths resulting from such regimens.

Abstract
Cancer remains the leading cause of death around the world. In cancer treatment, over 50% of cancer patients receive radiotherapy alone or in multimodal combinations with other therapies. One of the adverse consequences after radiation exposure is the occurrence of radiation-induced tissue fibrosis (RIF), which is characterized by the abnormal activation of myofibroblasts and the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix. This phenotype can manifest in multiple organs, such as lung, skin, liver and kidney. In-depth studies on the mechanisms of radiation-induced fibrosis have shown that a variety of extracellular signals such as immune cells and abnormal release of cytokines, and intracellular signals such as cGAS/STING, oxidative stress response, metabolic reprogramming and proteasome pathway activation are involved in the activation of myofibroblasts. Tissue fibrosis is extremely harmful to patients' health and requires early diagnosis. In addition to traditional serum markers, histologic and imaging tests, the diagnostic potential of nuclear medicine techniques is emerging. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant therapies are the traditional treatments for radiation-induced fibrosis. Recently, some promising therapeutic strategies have emerged, such as stem cell therapy and targeted therapies. However, incomplete knowledge of the mechanisms hinders the treatment of this disease. Here, we also highlight the potential mechanistic, diagnostic and therapeutic directions of radiation-induced fibrosis.

S100a9 inhibits Atg9a transcription and participates in suppression of autophagy in cardiomyocytes induced by β 1-adrenoceptor autoantibodies. Cell Mol Biol Lett 2023; 28:74. [PMID: 37723445 PMCID: PMC10506287 DOI: 10.1186/s11658-023-00486-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiomyocyte death induced by autophagy inhibition is an important cause of cardiac dysfunction. In-depth exploration of its mechanism may help to improve cardiac dysfunction. In our previous study, we found that β1-adrenergic receptor autoantibodies (β1-AAs) induced a decrease in myocardial autophagy and caused cardiomyocyte death, thus resulting in cardiac dysfunction. Through tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics, autophagy-related S100a9 protein was found to be significantly upregulated in the myocardial tissue of actively immunized mice. However, whether S100a9 affects the cardiac function in the presence of β1-AAs through autophagy and the specific mechanism are currently unclear. METHODS In this study, the active immunity method was used to establish a β1-AA-induced mouse cardiac dysfunction model, and RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect changes in gene and protein expression in cardiomyocytes. We used siRNA to knockdown S100a9 in cardiomyocytes. An autophagy PCR array was performed to screen differentially expressed autophagy-related genes in cells transfected with S100a9 siRNA and negative control siRNA. Cytoplasmic nuclear separation, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and immunofluorescence were used to detect the binding of S100a9 and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Finally, AAV9-S100a9-RNAi was injected into mice via the tail vein to knockdown S100a9 in cardiomyocytes. Cardiac function was detected via ultrasonography. RESULTS The results showed that β1-AAs induced S100a9 expression. The PCR array indicated that Atg9a changed significantly in S100a9siRNA cells and that β1-AAs increased the binding of S100a9 and HIF-1α in cytoplasm. Knockdown of S100a9 significantly improved autophagy levels and cardiac dysfunction. CONCLUSION Our research showed that β1-AAs increased S100a9 expression in cardiomyocytes and that S100a9 interacted with HIF-1α, which prevented HIF-1α from entering the nucleus normally, thus inhibiting the transcription of Atg9a. This resulted in autophagy inhibition and cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Oncologic patients are subjected to four major treatment types: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology. This relatively new, but rapidly expanding area of knowledge, primarily focuses on clinical observations linking the adverse effects of cancer therapy with deteriorated quality of life of cancer survivors and their increased morbidity and mortality. Cellular and molecular determinants of these relations are far less understood, mainly because of several unsolved paths and contradicting findings in the literature. In this article, we provide a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular etiology of cardiooncology. We pay particular attention to various intracellular processes that arise in cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells treated in experimentally-controlled conditions in vitro and in vivo with ionizing radiation and drugs representing diverse modes of anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Cancer patients who receive high-dose thoracic radiotherapy may develop radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD). The clinical presentation of RIHD comprises coronary artery atherosclerosis, valvular disease, pericarditis, cardiomyopathy, and conduction defects. These complications have significantly reduced due to the improved radiotherapy techniques. However, such methods still could not avoid heart radiation exposure. Furthermore, people who received relatively low-dose radiation exposures have exhibited significantly elevated RIHD risks in cohort studies of atomic bomb survivors and occupational exposures. The increased potential in exposure to natural and artificial ionizing radiation sources has emphasized the necessity to understand the development of RIHD. The pathological processes of RIHD include endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, fibrosis, and hypertrophy. The underlying mechanisms may involve the changes in oxidative stress, DNA damage response, telomere erosion, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic regulation, circulation factors, protein post-translational modification, and metabolites. This review will discuss the recent advances in the mechanisms of RIHD at cellular and molecular levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To determine the hormone-vitamin complex impact on the terminal links of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acids cycle, and the initial stage of glucone¬ogenesis in the muscle tissue in descendants of irradiated animals. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: Pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenasee and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activities, the content of lactate, pyruvate, malate and oxaloacetate were determined in the blood, myocardium and thigh muscles of 66 rats after exposure to ionizing gamma-radiation. Rats were injected by a hormone-vitamin complex which efficacy was determined using the abovementioned indexes. RESULTS Results: Hormone-vitamin complex administration to descendants of irradiated animals exposed to 1.0 Gy results to pyruvate kinase activity increase in the myocardium and skeletal muscles of descendants from animals irradiated by 0.5 Gy and exposed to 1.0 Gy irradiation. Blood serum pyruvate kinase activity in descendants from animals irradiated by 1.0 Gy and exposed to 1.0 Gy radiation after the pharmacological correction was higher compared with the same index before pharmacological correction. The lactate dehydrogenase activity in the myocardium, skeletal muscles and blood in descendants born from animals irradiated by maximal dose exposed to 1.0 Gy radiation was less in these tissues after pharmacological correction. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The hormone-vitamin complex use in the descendants of irradiated animals led to muscle tissue energy resources improvement. Our data are the experimental background for theoriginal hormone-vitamin complex efficacy further evaluation in the aspect of vital organs and body systems functional activity restoration under the influence of ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte apoptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of radiation-induced heart disease, but the underlying epigenetic mechanism remains elusive. We evaluated the potential mediating role of males absent on the first (MOF) in the association between epigenetic activation of p53 lysine 120 (p53K120) and X-ray radiation-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells. H9c2 cells were pretreated for 24 h with the MOF inhibitor MG149 after 4 Gy irradiation, followed by assessment of cell proliferation, injury, and apoptosis. MOF expression was upregulated by X-ray radiation. MG149 suppressed the proliferation inhibition, reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential, ROS production, and cell apoptosis. MG149 may promote the survival of H9c2 cells via inhibition of MOF-mediated p53K120 acetylation in response to X-ray radiation-induced apoptosis. Our data indicates a MOF-associated epigenetic mechanism in H9c2 cells that promotes attenuation of X-ray radiation-induced injury.

Case report: Stereotactic body radiation therapy with 12 Gy for silencing refractory ventricular tachycardia. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:973105. [PMID: 36407435 PMCID: PMC9669661 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.973105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Encouraging results have been reported for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with 25 Gy. SBRT with 12 Gy for refractory VT was designed to reduce long-term cardiac toxicity. METHODS Stereotactic body radiation therapy-VT simulation, planning, and treatment were performed using standard techniques. A patient was treated with a marginal dose of 12 Gy in a single fraction to the planning target volume (PTV). The goal was for at least ≥ 95% of the PTV to be covered by at least 95% of 12 Gy radiation. RESULTS From April 2021 through June 2022, a patient with refractory VT underwent treatment. The volume for PTV was 65.8 cm3. The mean radiation dose administered to the heart (the heart volume excluding the PTV) was 2.2 Gy. No acute or late toxicity was observed after SBRT. Six months after SBRT, the patient experienced new monomorphic right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) VT. Interestingly, the substrate of the left ventricular basal to middle posteroseptal wall before SBRT was turned into scar zones with a local voltage < 0.5 mV. Catheter ablation to treat RVOT VT was performed, and the situation remains stable to date. CONCLUSION This study reports the first patient with refractory VT successfully treated with 12.0 Gy SBRT, suggesting that 12 Gy is a potential dose to treat refractory VT. Further investigations and enrollment of more patients are warranted to assess the long-term efficacy and side effects of this treatment.

TRPM4 Participates in Irradiation-Induced Aortic Valve Remodeling in Mice. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14184477. [PMID: 36139640 PMCID: PMC9497207 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14184477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Despite its benefit in cancer treatment, thoracic irradiation can induce aortic valve stenosis with fibrosis and calcification. The TRPM4 cation channel is known to participate in cellular remodeling including the transition of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, similar to that observed during aortic valve stenosis. This study evaluates if TRPM4 is involved in irradiation-induced aortic valve damage. The aortic valve of mice was targeted by irradiation. Cardiac echography 5 months after treatment revealed an increase in aortic jet velocity, indicating stenosis. This was not observed in non-treated animals. Histological analysis revealed an increase in valvular cusp surface associated with fibrosis which was not observed in non-treated animals. The experiments were reproduced on mice after Trpm4 gene disruption. In these animals, irradiation did not induce valvular remodeling. It indicates that TRPM4 influences irradiation-induced aortic valve damage and thus could be a target to prevent such side effects of irradiation. Abstract Thoracic radiotherapy can lead to cardiac remodeling including valvular stenosis due to fibrosis and calcification. The monovalent non-selective cation channel TRPM4 is known to be involved in calcium handling and to participate in fibroblast transition to myofibroblasts, a phenomenon observed during aortic valve stenosis. The goal of this study was to evaluate if TRPM4 is involved in irradiation-induced aortic valve damage. Four-month-old Trpm4+/+ and Trpm4−/− mice received 10 Gy irradiation at the aortic valve. Cardiac parameters were evaluated by echography until 5 months post-irradiation, then hearts were collected for morphological and histological assessments. At the onset of the protocol, Trpm4+/+ and Trpm4−/− mice exhibited similar maximal aortic valve jet velocity and mean pressure gradient. Five months after irradiation, Trpm4+/+ mice exhibited a significant increase in those parameters, compared to the untreated animals while no variation was detected in Trpm4−/− mice. Morphological analysis revealed that irradiated Trpm4+/+ mice exhibited a 53% significant increase in the aortic valve cusp surface while no significant variation was observed in Trpm4−/− animals. Collagen staining revealed aortic valve fibrosis in irradiated Trpm4+/+ mice but not in irradiated Trpm4−/− animals. It indicates that TRPM4 influences irradiation-induced valvular remodeling.

Acetylation of Atp5f1c Mediates Cardiomyocyte Senescence via Metabolic Dysfunction in Radiation-Induced Heart Damage. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4155565. [PMID: 36160705 PMCID: PMC9499811 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4155565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Objective. Ionizing radiation (IR) causes cardiac senescence, which eventually manifests as radiation-induced heart damage (RIHD). This study is aimed at exploring the mechanisms underlying IR-induced senescence using acetylation proteomics. Methods. Irradiated mouse hearts and H9C2 cells were harvested for senescence detection. Acetylation proteomics was used to investigate alterations in lysine acetylation. Atp5f1c acetylation after IR was verified using coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP). Atp5f1c lysine 55 site acetylation (Atp5f1c K55-Ac) point mutation plasmids were used to evaluate the influence of Atp5f1c K55-Ac on energy metabolism and cellular senescence. Deacetylation inhibitors, plasmids, and siRNA transfection were used to determine the mechanism of Atp5f1c K55-Ac regulation. Results. The mice showed cardiomyocyte and cardiac aging phenotypes after IR. We identified 90 lysine acetylation sites from 70 protein alterations in the heart in response to IR. Hyperacetylated proteins are primarily involved in energy metabolism. Among them, Atp5f1c was hyperacetylated, as confirmed by Co-IP. Atp5f1c K55-Ac decreased ATP enzyme activity and synthesis. Atp5f1c K55 acetylation induced cardiomyocyte senescence, and Sirt4 and Sirt5 regulated Atp5f1c K55 deacetylation. Conclusion. Our findings reveal a mechanism of RIHD through which Atp5f1c K55-Ac leads to cardiac aging and Sirt4 or Sirt5 modulates Atp5f1c acetylation. Therefore, the regulation of Atp5f1c K55-Ac might be a potential target for the treatment of RIHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have indicated that exposure of the heart to doses of ionizing radiation as low as 0.5 Gy increases the risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality with a latency period of decades. The damaging effects of radiation to myocardial and endothelial structures and functions have been confirmed radiobiologically at high dose, but much less is known at low dose. Integration of radiation biology and epidemiology data is a recommended approach to improve the radiation risk assessment process. The adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework offers a comprehensive tool to compile and translate mechanistic information into pathological endpoints which may be relevant for risk assessment at the different levels of a biological system. Omics technologies enable the generation of large volumes of biological data at various levels of complexity, from molecular pathways to functional organisms. Given the quality and quantity of available data across levels of biology, omics data can be attractive sources of information for use within the AOP framework. It is anticipated that radiation omics studies could improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the adverse effects of radiation on the cardiovascular system. In this review, we explored the available omics studies on radiation-induced cardiovascular disease (CVD) and their applicability to the proposed AOP for CVD. RESULTS The results of 80 omics studies published on radiation-induced CVD over the past 20 years have been discussed in the context of the AOP of CVD proposed by Chauhan et al. Most of the available omics data on radiation-induced CVD are from proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, whereas few datasets were available from epigenomics and multi-omics. The omics data presented here show great promise in providing information for several key events of the proposed AOP of CVD, particularly oxidative stress, alterations of energy metabolism, extracellular matrix and vascular remodeling. CONCLUSIONS The omics data presented here shows promise to inform the various levels of the proposed AOP of CVD. However, the data highlight the urgent need of designing omics studies to address the knowledge gap concerning different radiation scenarios, time after exposure and experimental models. This review presents the evidence to build a qualitative omics-informed AOP and provides views on the potential benefits and challenges in using omics data to assess risk-related outcomes.
