📝 英文原版摘要

Background: Radiation therapy is a standard-of-care oncological treatment for central nervous system (CNS) malignancies. However, as survival outcomes improve, radiation-induced injury to normal brain tissue has increased in clinical significance. CNS radiation injury is a delayed, multifactorial process characterized by impaired neurogenesis, reactive gliosis, and persistent functional deficits. Mechanistic exploration and development of effective radiation mitigators have been limited by the lack of scalable, human-relevant models. Methods: Mature human iPSC-derived cortical organoids were exposed to single-dose or clinically relevant fractionated radiation (5 x 2 Gy). DNA damage, apoptosis, and growth dynamics were assessed longitudinally. Structural organization, synaptic integrity, and neuroinflammatory responses were evaluated by immunofluorescence and real-time PCR. Transcriptomic profiling was performed at 72 hours and 2 weeks after fractionated radiation to capture acute and delayed effects. Two candidate radiation mitigators, NSPP and amisulpride, were tested for their therapeutic effects within the organoid system. Results: Cortical organoids exhibited partial recovery following single doses up to 4 Gy or fractioned irradiation. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that radiation not only reduced overall cell viability but also reshaped lineage trajectories, characterized by depletion of neural stem/progenitor populations, loss of neuronal identity, enhanced gliogenesis, increased inflammatory cytokines, and disrupted cortical layering and synaptic integrity. Treatment with NSPP or amisulpride attenuated injury-associated transcriptional and structural alterations. Conclusion: Human cortical organoids recapitulate key features of radiation-induced neural injury,
recovery, and therapeutic modulation, providing a robust, scalable, and human-relevant platform for studying CNS radiation biology and preclinical screening of candidate radiation mitigators.
