CXCR2 Is Essential for Radiation-Induced Intestinal Injury by Initiating Neutrophil Infiltration by Jing Hu, Qian Ji, Fei Chen, Xiaoqin Gong, Chuansheng Chen, Kaijun Zhang, Ye Hua, Jinlei Wang, Rongkun Li, Xu Wang, Chunhua Dai, Ye Tian

“…Neutrophils, known as an important part of the immune system, are the most abundant leukocyte population in peripheral blood, but excessive recruitment will lead to tissue/organ injury. RNA sequencing showed that ionizing radiation significantly increased the expression of characteristic genes of neutrophils in intestinal tissues compared with liver and lung tissues. …”
