Intestinal injury is a major cause of death after high-dose radiation exposure. The use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to treat radiation injury has focused on enhancing recovery from hematopoietic radiation syndrome. We evaluated G-CSF for its ability to protect against radiation-induced intestinal injury in rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) and BALB/c mouse models. For in vitro tests, pre-radiation addition of G-CSF to IEC-6 prevented cytotoxicity and the loss of cell viability. Pre-radiation G-CSF treatment also reduced radiation-induced cleavage of caspase-3 and p53 in IEC-6. For in vivo tests, examination 12 h after abdominal irradiation showed that G-CSF-treated mice were protected against apoptosis of the jejunal crypts. G-CSF-treated mice also showed attenuated intestinal morphological changes 3.5 days after abdominal radiation (10 Gy). G-CSF also reduced the levels of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α after radiation. This study showed that G-CSF may protect against radiation-induced intestinal damage through its anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects. These results suggest that G-CSF is promising candidate for protection against intestinal mucosal injury following irradiation.
