Radiation-induced impacts on mitochondrial DNA and the transgenerational genomic instability by Ryosuke Seino, Haruka Kubo, Kai Nishikubo, Hisanori Fukunaga

“…We extracted DNA from the irradiated cells, female mice, and the 2-week-old pups, then examined the mitochondrial DNA copy numbers (mtDNAcns) and radiation-induced damage by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: The mtDNAcn levels in cells increased and the intact copy ratios decreased 24 h after irradiation, resulting in the delayed shift of heteroplasmy. …”
