Objective:This study aims to explore the dynamic changes in the process of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis(RIPF) of B10 cells. Methods:30 C57BL/6 mice,6-8 weeks old,were randomly divided into non-irradiated(control)group,2 days after irradiation(IR2d),14 days after irradiation(IR14d),3 month after irradiation(IR3m)and 5 month after irradiation(IR5m)group.The radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis model was established by using ionizing radiation. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue,and the expression of α-SMA was observed by immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry was used to detect the infiltration changes of B10 cells in lung tissues and spleens in the RIPF model. Results:The lung tissues of mice showed inflammatory response in the early stage after chest irradiation. Furthermore,the alveolar structure destruction and interstitial filling began to appear 3 months after irradiation,and a large amount of collagen was filled 5 months after irradiation. The expression of α-SMA was significantly higher than that of the control group,and pulmonary fibrosis was more severe. The proportion of B10 cells in lung tissue was significantly increased at 2 d and 14 d after chest irradiation compared with the non-irradiated group,while was significantly lower in IR3m group than in IR2d group,B10 cells in the spleens began to increase at IR2d,and reached a peak at IR14d,and was significantly lower in IR3m group than in IR2d group and IR14d group. Conclusion:There were B10 cells infiltration in the process of radioactive pulmonary fibrosis,with a trend of early increase and late decrease.
