A PPAR-gamma agonist attenuates pulmonary injury induced by irradiation in a murine model

Highlights • Radiotherapy leads to side effects because it affects normal tissues near the target. • Thoracic radiotherapy can cause radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis. • Rosiglitazone has anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic and antineoplastic properties. • Rosiglitazone reduced signs of radia...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Radiotherapy leads to side effects because it affects normal tissues near the target. • Thoracic radiotherapy can cause radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis. • Rosiglitazone has anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic and antineoplastic properties. • Rosiglitazone reduced signs of radiation-induced lung toxicity in a mouse model. • Rosiglitazone could be proposed as a radioprotective agent in thorax irradiation.
