    Abstract:
    High-dose radiation exposure results in organ-specific sequelae that occurs in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The partial body irradiation with minimal bone marrow sparing model was developed to mimic intentional or accidental radiation exposures in humans where bone marrow sparing is likely and permits the concurrent analysis of coincident short- and long-term damage to organ systems. To help inform on the natural history of the radiation-induced injury of the partial body irradiation model, we quantitatively profiled the plasma proteome of non-human primates following 12 Gy partial body irradiation with 2.5% bone marrow sparing with 6 MV LINAC-derived photons at 0.80 Gy min over a time period of 3 wk. The plasma proteome was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A number of trends were identified in the proteomic data including pronounced protein changes as well as protein changes that were consistently upregulated or downregulated at all time points and dose levels interrogated. Pathway and gene ontology analysis were performed; bioinformatic analysis revealed significant pathway and biological process perturbations post high-dose irradiation and shed light on underlying mechanisms of radiation damage. Additionally, proteins were identified that had the greatest potential to serve as biomarkers for radiation exposure.
