Spatial Gene Expression Changes in the Mouse Heart After Base-Targeted Irradiation
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
PurposeRadiation cardiotoxicity (RC) is a clinically significant adverse effect of treatment for patients with thoracic malignancies. Clinical studies in lung cancer have indicated that heart substructures are not uniformly radiosensitive, and that dose to the heart base drives RC. In this study, we aimed to characterize late changes in gene expression using spatial transcriptomics in a mouse model of base regional radiosensitivity.Methods and MaterialsAn aged female C57BL/6 mouse was irradiated with 16 Gy delivered to the cranial third of the heart using a 6 × 9 mm parallel opposed beam geometry on a small animal radiation research platform, and a second mouse was sham-irradiated. After echocardiography, whole hearts were collected at 30 weeks for spatial transcriptomic analysis to map gene expression changes occurring in different regions of the partially irradiated heart. Cardiac regions were manually annotated on the capture slides and the gene expression profiles compared across different regions.ResultsEjection fraction was reduced at 30 weeks after a 16 Gy irradiation to the heart base, compared with the sham-irradiated controls. There were markedly more significant gene expression changes within the irradiated regions compared with nonirradiated regions. Variation was observed in the transcriptomic effects of radiation on different cardiac base structures (eg, between the right atrium [n = 86 dysregulated genes], left atrium [n = 96 dysregulated genes], and the vasculature [n = 129 dysregulated genes]). Disrupted biological processes spanned extracellular matrix as well as circulatory, neuronal, and contractility activities.ConclusionsThis is the first study to report spatially resolved gene expression changes in irradiated tissues. Examination of the regional radiation response in the heart can help to further our understanding of the cardiac base's radiosensitivity and support the development of actionable targets for pharmacologic intervention and biologically relevant dose constraints.
