Global DNA hypomethylation is proposed as a potential biomarker for cancer risk associated
with genomic instability, which is an important factor in radiation‐induced cancer. However …

Purpose: We investigated the association between occupational radiation exposure and
DNA methylation changes in nuclear power plant workers. We also evaluated whether …

Background Exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) results in the simultaneous activation or
downregulation of multiple signaling pathways that play critical roles in cell type-specific …

Epigenetics, including DNA methylation and microRNA (miRNA) expression, could be the
missing link in understanding radiation-induced genomic instability (RIGI). This study tests …

Ionizing radiation can induce deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation pattern change, and
ionizing radiation-induced oxidative damage may also affect DNA methylation status …

The biological and genetic effects of chronic low-dose radiation (LDR) exposure and its
relationship to carcinogenesis have received a lot of attention in the recent years. For …

Environmental chemicals and radiation have often been implicated in producing alterations
of the epigenome thus potentially contributing to cancer and other diseases. Ionizing …

It has been acknowledged for many years that radiation exposure induces delayed, non-
targeted effects in the progeny of the irradiated cell. Evidence is beginning to demonstrate …

Purpose: This review examines the evidence for the hypothesis that epigenetics are
involved in the initiation and perpetuation of radiation-induced genomic instability (RIGI) …

Radiation is a well-known genotoxic agent and human carcinogen that gives rise to a variety
of long-term effects. Its detrimental influence on cellular function is actively studied …
