Figure 7 The figure represents the general change of global DNA methylation after radiation exposure in cancer cells. Radiation might induce a decrease in DNA methyltransferases, including DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), DNMT3a, DNMT3b, and methyl CpG binding protein 2 leading to global DNA hypomethylation and genomic instability.
