Increased EZH2 and decreased osteoblastogenesis during local irradiation-induced bone loss in rats
8 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat cancer patients but exhibits adverse effects, including insufficiency fractures and bone loss. Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Here, we reported local bone changes after single-dose exposure to (137)CS irradiation in rats. Femur bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone...
