Cui et al., 2013 [16] | In vitro | RNA isolation, microRNA microarray | Human bronchial BEAS2B cell line were cultured in LHC-8 medium | BEAS-2B cells were exposed to radon for 10, 20, 30 min at a concentration of 20,000 Bq/m3 during fifth passage for 1 (Rn5-1) and 20 generations (Rn5-20) | Modification of miRNA profile expression | 163 miRNA upregulated and 155 miRNA downregulated in Rn-5-1 cells. 30 miRNA upregulated and 28 miRNA downregulated in Rn-5-20 cells |
Meenakashi et al., 2017 [29] | In vivo | Micronucleus assay | 25 healthy smokers and 25 healthy non-smokers (males) | Blood samples were exposed to radon gas with doses ranging between 0.3–12.6 mGy | Nucleoplasmic bridges as a biomarker of early DNA damage induced by radon | Radon exposure increased DNA damage in smokers compared to non-smokers |
Zölzer et al., 2013 [36] | In vivo | Modified micronucleus-centromere test | 84 uranium miners and 52 control persons | Mine workers exposed to 35–90 mSv | Micronuclei in blood lymphocytes | Uranium-exposed subjects had higher micronuclei frequency than non-exposed |
Rosenberger et al., 2019 [53] | In vivo | Infinium OncoArray-500K | 15,077 cases (lung cancer) and 13,522 controls, including 463 former uranium miners (61 cases:402 controls) | 49 of 15 077 (0.3%) LC cases and 259 of 13 522 cancer-free controls (1.9%) had been occupationally exposed by a high cumulative dose exposure to radon and its progeny (WLM > 50) | occupational radon exposure was categorized into ≤50 (“unexposed”) and >50 WLM (“exposed”) as a threshold for significant elevated relative lung cancer risk | Genes belonging to the Gene Ontology term “DNA dealkylation involved in DNA repair” (GO:0006307; p = 0.0139) or the gene family HGNC:476 “microRNAs” (p = 0.0159) were enriched with LD-blockwise significance |
Bulgakova et al., 2019 [57] | In vivo | DNA isolation, PCR-RFLP | 44 radon-induced lung cancer patients and 41 lung cancer patients without high level of radon exposure and 42 age/sex-matched healthy controls | The average equivalent equilibrium radon volume activity (EEVA) for radon-induced lung cancer patients was 307.6 Bq/m3. The EEVA in the lung cancer patients living on the territory with a low level of radon were 40.6 Bq/m3 | Polymorphism TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522) was showed a significantly higher risk of radon-induced lung cancer | Arg/Pro and Pro/Pro variants conferred an odds ratio (OR) of 6.95 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.41–20.05) and 1.45 (95 %CI 0.46–4.64), respectively. Individuals with Arg/Pro variant of TP53 gene exposed to high level of radon have a high risk of lung cancer (OR = 8.6; 95% CI 2.6–28.59) compared with people living in areas with a low level of radon |
de Vocht et al., 2019 [90] | In vivo | Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip | 14,541 pregnant women with expected delivery dates between April 1991 and December 1992, which resulted in 14,062 live births of which 13,988 children were alive at 1 year of age | Estimates of potential radon exposure were based on long-term radon measurements from 479,000 homes across Great Britain and provided with a spatial resolution of 75-metre buffers as the percentage of dwellings exceeding the 200 Bq/m3. Radon Action Level in 6 classes: 1 (0–1%), 2 (1–3%), 3 (>3–5%), 4 (>5–10%), 5 (>10–30%) and 6 (>30–100%). | Once each residential address had a radon potential exposure class assigned, time spent at each address was calculated. This was merged with ARIES sample prevision dates, allowing time-weighted average potential radon exposures to be calculated up to the “mothers at middle age”, “children at 7” and “children at 15/17” sample extraction time points. | Average potential exposure to radon was associated in an exposure-dependent manner with methylation at cg25422346 in mothers during pregnancy, with no associations at middle age. For children, radon potential exposure was associated in an exposure-dependent manner with methylation of cg16451995 at birth, cg01864468 at age 7, and cg04912984, cg16105117, cg23988964, cg04945076, cg08601898, cg16260355 and cg26056703 in adolescence. |
Chen et al., 2015 [93] | In vitro | qRT-PCR, western blot | Human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells | Each time 1 × 106 HBE cells were seeded on transwell membrane and exposed to radon at the concentration of 20,000 Bq/m3 for 20 min. The exposure was repeated for 5 times (HR-5) or 10 times (HR-10) | let-7 microRNA and K-ras may be of potential markers in early diagnosis and therapy of radon-induced lung cancer | Down-regulation of let-7 and up-regulation of K-ras were revealed both in mRNA and in protein level in lung tissue of rats and HBE cells exposed to radon |
