Radon therapy has been traditionally performed globally for oxidative stress-related diseases. Many researchers have studied the beneficial effects of radon exposure in living organisms. However, the effects of thoron, a radioisotope of radon, have not been fully examined. In this study, we aimed to compare the biological effects of radon and thoron inhalation on mouse organs with a focus on oxidative stress. Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 15 groups: sham inhalation, radon inhalation at a dose of 500 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ or 2000 Bq/m$$^{3}$$, and thoron inhalation at a dose of 500 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ or 2000 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ were carried out. Immediately after inhalation, mouse tissues were excised for biochemical assays. The results showed a significant increase in superoxide dismutase and total glutathione, and a significant decrease in lipid peroxide following thoron inhalation under several conditions. Additionally, similar effects were observed for different doses and inhalation times between radon and thoron. Our results suggest that thoron inhalation also exerts antioxidative effects against oxidative stress in organs. However, the inhalation conditions should be carefully analyzed because of the differences in physical characteristics between radon and thoron.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is widely used for treating solid cancers; however, it induces nephrotoxicity caused by oxidative stress. Here, we investigated whether radon inhalation has different effects against CDDP induced renal injury in two mouse strains differing in radiosensitivity, and determined the appropriate dose of CDDP combined with radon inhalation for highly radiosensitive mice. CDDP was administered at 20 mg/kg weight to C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice after radon inhalation at 1000 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ and 2000 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ for 24 h. Radon inhalation had a slight positive effect against CDDP toxicity in C57BL/6J mice with respect to improved hair condition, whereas radon inhalation exacerbated CDDP-induced toxicity in BALB/c mice. When BALB/c mice were treated with a lower dose of CDDP (15 mg/kg) after 1000 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ radon inhalation, the creatinine level was reduced and the superoxide dismutase content was increased. The supportive effect of radon inhalation shows its good potential as a candidate treatment to alleviate CDDP-induced renal damage.

Knowledge discovery of suppressive effect of disease and increased anti-oxidative function by low-dose radiation using self-organizing map

Kanzaki, Norie; Kataoka, Takahiro*; Kobashi, Yusuke*; Yunoki, Yuto*; Ishida, Tsuyoshi*; Sakoda, Akihiro; Ishimori, Yuu; Yamaoka, Kiyonori*

We previously reported that low-dose radiation induces the anti-oxidative function in many organ systems of mice. This results in the suppression of several kinds of oxidative stress-induced damage. This study was conducted with the objective of revealing the health effects of low-dose radiation obtained from our previous reports and searching for a new treatment based on low-dose radiation, such as radon therapy. We extracted the characteristics of the effects of low dose radiation suppressing diseases and enhancing the anti-oxidative function using fuzzy answer by self-organizing map (SOM) based on mutual knowledge. The relationship between the suppressive effect and increased antioxidative function was shown in our result, and the concentration dependence of the effect against pain was shown on the output map. Although the effect against other organs depending on concentration was unpredictable, our results indicate that low-dose radiation may also be suitable for treatment of liver disease and brain disease.

We have suggested that low-dose radiation increases anti-oxidative function and inhibits various oxidative stress-related diseases. On the other hand, there are some reports about the extraction of some plants which inhibit similar diseases. In this research, we collected and analyzed the reports for comprehensive comparison. For example, we found that the effects of radon 2000 Bq/m$$^{3}$$ inhalation for 24 hours (low-dose irradiation) or taraxeren-3-one (the extraction from diospyros maritima) 20 mg/kg bodyweight administration were similar with the effects of indomethacin 10 mg/kg bodyweight administration regarding carrageenan-induced paw edema. Our results have a limitation of small dataset but are useful for future research about oxidative stress.

We have reported that radon inhalation inhibits oxidative stress-related diseases. In our previous study, we comprehensively evaluated the results. The datasets were normalized in 0 as the control data and 1 as the disease data. However, the suppressive effects vary depending on the disease type. In the present study, we classified them and analyzed the data of each organ. Therefore, we could compare radon therapy with other treatments in detail.
