Ionizing radiation-induced oxidative stress, epigenetic changes and genomic instability: The pivotal role of mitochondria

Szumiel, Irena·2015·International Journal of Radiation Biology

Abstract

PURPOSE: To review the data concerning the role of endogenously generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the non-targeted ionizing radiation (IR) effects and in determination of the cell population's fate, both early after exposure and after many generations. CONCLUSIONS: The short-term as well as chronic oxidative stress responses mainly are produced due to ROS generation by the electron transport chain (ETC) of the mitochondria and by the cytoplasmic NADPH oxidases. Whether the induction of the oxidative stress and its consequences occur or are hampered in a single cell largely depends on the interaction between the nucleus and the cellular population of several hundred or thousands of mitochondria that are genetically heterogeneous. High intra-mitochondrial ROS level is damaging the mitochondrial (mt) DNA and its mutations affect the epigenetic control mechanisms of the nuclear (n) DNA, by decreasing the activity of methyltransferases and thus, causing global DNA hypomethylation. These changes are transmitted to the progeny of the irradiated cells. The chronic oxidative stress is the main cause of the late post-radiation effects, including cancer, and this makes it an important adverse effect of exposure to IR and a target for radiological protection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
