Exosome-Mediated Telomere Instability in Human Breast Epithelial Cancer Cells after X Irradiation
13 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
In directly irradiating cells, telomere metabolism is altered and similar effects have been observed in nontargeted cells. Exosomes and their cargo play dominant roles in communicating radiation-induced bystander effects with end points related to DNA damage. Here we report novel evidence that exosomes are also responsible for inducing telomere-related bystander effects. Breast epithelial cancer cells were...
