To study the effects of damage caused by ionizing radiation and atmospheric oxygen on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), these cells were isolated from mouse bone marrow, cultured in vitro under hypoxia (2% O2) or normoxia (21% O2), and treated with medically-relevant doses of ionizing radiation. It was observed that damage induced by ionizing radiation and normoxia can independently and synergistically affect the stemness properties of MSCs. Results obtained in this study will help to recognize the concerns related to therapeutic efficiency of the stress exposed MSCs.
