TRAIL agonists rescue mice from radiation-induced lung, skin or esophageal injury.

J Clin Invest

January 2025

Laboratory of Translational Oncology and Translational Cancer Therapeutics, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, United States of America.

Radiotherapy can be limited by pneumonitis which is impacted by innate immunity, including pathways regulated by TRAIL death receptor DR5. We investigated whether DR5 agonists could rescue mice from toxic effects of radiation and found two different agonists, parenteral PEGylated trimeric-TRAIL (TLY012) and oral TRAIL-Inducing Compound (TIC10/ONC201) could reduce pneumonitis, alveolar-wall thickness, and oxygen desaturation. Lung protection extended to late effects of radiation including less fibrosis at 22-weeks in TLY012-rescued survivors versus un-rescued surviving irradiated-mice.
