abstract = {Brain tumors are commonly treated with radiotherapy, but
the efficacy of the treatment is limited by its toxicity to
the normal tissue including post-irradiation contrast
enhanced lesions often linked to necrosis. The poorly
understood mechanisms behind such brain lesions were studied
using cerebral organoids. Here we show that irradiation of
such organoids leads to dose-dependent growth retardation
and formation of liquid-filled cavities but is not
correlated with necrosis. Instead, the radiation-induced
changes comprise of an enhancement of cortical hem markers,
altered neuroepithelial stem cell differentiation, and an
increase of ZO1+/AQP1+/CLDN3+-choroid plexus (CP)-like
structures accompanied by an upregulation of IGF2 mRNA,
known to be expressed in CP and cerebrospinal fluid. The
altered differentiation is attributed to changes in the
WNT/BMP signaling pathways. We conclude that aberrant CP
formation can be involved in radiation-induced brain lesions
providing additional strategies for possible
countermeasures.},
