Blocking Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 During Single Dose Versus Fractionated Radiation Therapy Leads to Opposite Effects on Acute Gastrointestinal Toxicity in Mice.
Model: Gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome from subtotal body irradiation with head and forelimbs shielded; single dose 15 Gy or 12 to 15 Gy for crypt survival, or fractionated 6 Gy or 6.5 Gy times 5 daily fractions, 320 kVp X-rays at 204 cGy/min
Palbociclib given 28 and 4 h before a single subtotal body irradiation dose significantly improved survival, gut barrier integrity and crypt survival, whereas the same drug given after irradiation had no effect. Given before and during five daily fractions it exacerbated gastrointestinal toxicity a…
