Objective:To assess the effect of GW5074 on the alveolar epithelial cell mesenchymal transition caused by high-dose small-volume radiation. Methods:In cell experiments,the morphological changes of cells before and after GW5074 treatment were observed. The expressions of C-Raf,p-C-Raf,Twist1,α-SMA and E-cadherin were detected by Western blot. After high-dose small-volume irradiation on mouse,the epithelial to mesenchymal transition of the injured tissues was observed by means of HE staining and immunofluorescence staining. Results:GW5074 alleviated effectively the morphological changes caused by high-dose irradiation. High-dose irradiation may activate C-Raf protein with the strongest effect at 48 hours after the irradiation. Pre-treatment by GW5074 and sh-Twist1 before irradiation can reduce the expressions of both Twist1 and α-SMA while increasing the expression of E-cadherin. The expression of p-C-Raf in the sh-Twist1 group was not significantly different from that in the irradiated group. Conclusion:By inhibiting the C-Raf/Twist1 signal path,GW5074 may effectively attenuate the alveolar epithelial cell mesenchymal transition caused by high-dose small-volume irradiation.
