VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittsburgh, PA Purpose/Objectives To determine the effectiveness of novel mitochondrial targeted Tempo (GS-nitroxide, JP4-039) as a radioprotector in a combined injury (fracture/irradiation) model, we designed an in vivo assay system for measurement of the kinetics of bone healing. Methods Six groups of C57BL/6NHsd mice were studied. Thirty-one mice were given JP4-039 (100ul; 10mg/kg) via an IP injection 10 minutes prior to 20Gy irradiation (RT) to the right (r) hind limb. Fifty-five mice were given 100 ul (100ug plasmid DNA) of manganese superoxide dismutase plasmid liposomes (MnSOD- PL) via tail vein injection 24 hours prior to 20Gy RT to the r hind limb. Thirty-eight RT-control mice received 20Gy to the r hind limb. Sixty-six control mice received no RT; 25 receiving MnSOD-PL 17 receiving JP4-039, and 24 receiving no drug. Twenty-four hours after RT, a skin incision was placed lateral to the anterior tibial crest of both hind limbs; the tibia was exposed and a unicortical wound was drilled at 5 mm below the proximal epiphysis with a 1.6mm drill bit (Dremel, Racine WI). At 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days following drilling, groups of mice were sacrificed and limbs radiographed. X-rays were digitized into Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA) for measurement of drilled holes. Results A significant RT-induced delay in osseus wound healing was noted at days 21 and 28 post-drilling in the 20Gy group (mean hole diameters ± SEM of 1.0 ± 0.10mm and 0.8 ± 0.13mm respectively) compared to the 0Gy group (0.6 ± 0.05mm and 0.3 ± 0.07mm respectively, p<0.05). The administration of JP4-039 or MnSOD-PL prior to 20Gy RT significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated this RT-induced delay. At 21 days post-drilling, the residual holes for the 20Gy-JP4-039 and 20Gy-MnSOD groups were 0.5 ± 0.05 and 0.7 ± 0.07mm respectively, compared with 1.0 ± 0.10mm for the 20Gy group (p<0.05). At 28 days post-drilling, significant differences in wound size persisted between the 20Gy-JP4-039 group (0.4 ± 0.04mm, p<0.05) and the 20Gy group (0.8 ± 0.13mm). The addition of JP4-039 or MnSOD-PL conferred more rapid healing in the absence of RT. At 14 days post-drilling, the holes of the 0Gy-JP4-039 (0.6 ± 0.05mm) and 0Gy-MnSOD (0.5 ± 0.05mm) groups were significantly smaller (p<0.05) than the 0Gy group (0.8 ± 0.05mm). At 21 days, a significant difference between the 0Gy-MnSOD group (0.5 ± 0.04mm) and the 0Gy group (0.6 ± 0.04mm) persisted (p<0.05).

Purpose/Objectives

To determine the effectiveness of novel mitochondrial targeted Tempo (GS-nitroxide, JP4-039) as a radioprotector in a combined injury (fracture/irradiation) model, we designed an in vivo assay system for measurement of the kinetics of bone healing.

Methods

Six groups of C57BL/6NHsd mice were studied. Thirty-one mice were given JP4-039 (100ul; 10mg/kg) via an IP injection 10 minutes prior to 20Gy irradiation (RT) to the right (r) hind limb. Fifty-five mice were given 100 ul (100ug plasmid DNA) of manganese superoxide dismutase plasmid liposomes (MnSOD-PL) via tail vein injection 24 hours prior to 20Gy RT to the r hind limb. Thirty-eight RT-control mice received 20Gy to the r hind limb. Sixty-six control mice received no RT; 25 receiving MnSOD-PL 17 receiving JP4-039, and 24 receiving no drug. Twenty-four hours after RT, a skin incision was placed lateral to the anterior tibial crest of both hind limbs; the tibia was exposed and a unicortical wound was drilled at 5 mm below the proximal epiphysis with a 1.6mm drill bit (Dremel, Racine WI). At 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days following drilling, groups of mice were sacrificed and limbs radiographed. X-rays were digitized into Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA) for measurement of drilled holes.

Results

A significant RT-induced delay in osseus wound healing was noted at days 21 and 28 post-drilling in the 20Gy group (mean hole diameters ± SEM of 1.0 ± 0.10mm and 0.8 ± 0.13mm respectively) compared to the 0Gy group (0.6 ± 0.05mm and 0.3 ± 0.07mm respectively, p<0.05). The administration of JP4-039 or MnSOD-PL prior to 20Gy RT significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated this RT-induced delay. At 21 days post-drilling, the residual holes for the 20Gy-JP4-039 and 20Gy-MnSOD groups were 0.5 ± 0.05 and 0.7 ± 0.07mm respectively, compared with 1.0 ± 0.10mm for the 20Gy group (p<0.05). At 28 days post-drilling, significant differences in wound size persisted between the 20Gy-JP4-039 group (0.4 ± 0.04mm, p<0.05) and the 20Gy group (0.8 ± 0.13mm).

The addition of JP4-039 or MnSOD-PL conferred more rapid healing in the absence of RT. At 14 days post-drilling, the holes of the 0Gy-JP4-039 (0.6 ± 0.05mm) and 0Gy-MnSOD (0.5 ± 0.05mm) groups were significantly smaller (p<0.05) than the 0Gy group (0.8 ± 0.05mm). At 21 days, a significant difference between the 0Gy-MnSOD group (0.5 ± 0.04mm) and the 0Gy group (0.6 ± 0.04mm) persisted (p<0.05).

DiscussionGS-nitroxide JP4-039 is a potentially valuable radiation protector and damage mitigator in a novel murine model system for combined injury. The drug and the test system should be useful to guide the development of new small molecule radioprotectors of normal tissues.
