Targeted and Nontargeted Effects of Ionizing Radiation That Impact Genomic Instability
15 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Radiation-induced genomic instability, in which the progeny of irradiated cells display a high frequency of nonclonal genomic damage, occurs at a frequency inconsistent with mutation. We investigated the mechanism of this nontargeted effect in human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) exposed to low doses of radiation. We identified a centrosome-associated expression signature in irradiated HMEC and show here that...
