Abstract
We exposed the osteoblast-like cell line, MC3T3-E1, to 1-to 10-Gy X-ray. Irradiation at doses of 5-Gy dose or stage, confluence, and post-proliferation stages. The alkaline phosphatase activity, conversely, was increased by irradiation, and the calcium content of irradiated cells was greater than that of nonirradiated. These findings suggest that irradiation induces terminal differentiation and calcification of osteoblasts.Entities:
