Low-dose ionizing irradiation transiently suppresses DGC neurogenesis. A–C, Dcx immunostaining of immature neurons in the DG of rats irradiated (rad) beginning on P21 (P21/P23) shows decreased neurogenesis at 7 d (B, arrows) versus control (A), and recovery 28 d after rad (C). D, E, BrdU labeling shows cell proliferation also recovers 4 weeks after rad at P21/P23 (E) versus control (D). BrdU was given 2 h before killing on P49. F–J, Neurogenesis examined by Dcx immunolabeling is also transiently suppressed after rad beginning on P56 (P56/P58), with knockdown after 2 d (G, arrows) and 7 d (H, arrows), partial recovery at 14 d (I, arrows), and nearly total recovery to control levels (F) after 28 d (J). Scale bar, 100 μm.
