Abstrakt: Purpose: The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in over 6.3 million deaths and 560 million COVID-19 cases worldwide. Clinical management of hospitalized patients is complex due to the heterogeneous course of COVID-19. Low-dose radiation therapy is known to dampen localized chronic inflammation and has been suggested to be used to reduce lung inflammation in patients with COVID-19. However, it is unknown whether SARS-CoV-2 alters the radiation response and associated radiation exposure related risk.
Methods and Materials: We generated gene expression profiles from circulating leukocytes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and healthy donors.
Results: The p53 signaling pathway was found to be dysregulated, with mRNA levels of p53, ATM , and CHK2 being lower in patients with COVID-19. Several key p53 target genes involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and p53 feedback inhibition were upregulated in patients with COVID-19 while other p53 target genes were downregulated. This dysregulation has functional consequences as the transcription of p53 -dependant genes ( CCNG1, GADD45A, DDB2, SESN1, FDXR, APOBEC ) was reduced 24 hours after x-ray exposure ex vivo to both low (100 mGy) or high (2 Gy) doses.
Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection affects a DNA damage response that may modify radiation-induced health risks in exposed patients with COVID-19.
