Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta is believed to play a key role in the development of many autoimmune and malignant diseases, such as radiation and drug-induced organ disease. The aim of the present study was to determine messenger RNA (mRNA) production of TGF-beta 1 in the lungs of C57Bl6 mice after low-dose whole-body irradiation. Control (irradiated) and irradiated angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-treated animals were simultaneously examined. The ACE inhibitor group received butylaminiperindopril for 9 days after irradiation (7 Gy) at a daily dose of 0.1 mg/kg per rectum. On day 9 all mice were sacrificed and the production of mRNA TGF-beta 1 in lung tissue was determined semiquantitatively using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. In butylaminiperindopril-treated mice, a decrease in transcript of TGF-beta 1 (to 59% in comparison with controls) was observed.
