Radiation-induced impacts on mitochondrial DNA and the transgenerational genomic instability
1 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial genomes are dynamically evolving and are shaped by somatic mutation and selection throughout the female germline. In this study, we investigated the radiation-induced impacts on mitochondrial DNA in vitro and in vivo, as well as the transgenerational inheritance. METHODS: Human cervical cancer HeLa cells and telomerase-immortalized normal fibroblast BJ1-hTERT cells were exposed to X-rays...
