Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the effects of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor on radiation-induced myocardial injury through the pyroptosis pathway. Method Twenty male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into four groups, namely the control group, the PD-1 inhibitor group, the cardiac radiation group (with a single dose of 20 Gy), and the combined group treated with both cardiac radiation and PD-1 inhibitor, with five mice in each group. At 1 month post-irradiation, echocardiography was performed to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke volume (SV), and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS); Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in myocardial tissue; Western blot and real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were used to determine the expression of pyroptosis-related key factors in myocardial tissue such as cysteine aspartate specific proteinase-1 (Caspase-1), gasdermin D (GSDMD), and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to determine the expression of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Furthermore, flow cytometry was used to evaluate the infiltration of myocardial lymphocytes. Results Compared to the radiation group, the mice in the combined group exhibited lower LVEF, FS and SV (t = 4.50, 27.93, 3.11, P < 0.05), more significant myocardial injury and fibrosis, elevated myocardial collagen volume fraction [(2.88 ± 0.27)% vs. (3.81 ± 0.57)%, t = 2.90, P < 0.05)], increased expression of Caspase-1, Caspase-1 p20, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, and ASC (t = 3.14, 3.22, 8.83, 20.29, 2.79, P < 0.05), increased mRNA expression of Caspase-1, GSDMD and ASC (t = 3.09, 2.91, 2.53, P <0.05), increased expression of IL-18 and IL-1β in myocardium and serum (t = 3.46, 3.75, 7.58, 8.24, P < 0.05), and higher percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes [(38.33 ± 7.92)% vs. (54.70 ± 4.01)%, t = 3.29, P < 0.05]. However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of CD4+ T lymphocytes among the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions PD-1 inhibitor may catalyze pyroptosis via caspase-1/GSDMD, thus aggravating radiation-induced myocardial injury. |
