Changes of TRAP-positive cell differentiation from BMMs and marker gene expression following single 2 Gy irradiation. (A) TRAP staining at 7 and 30 days after irradiation (magnification, x40). (B) Number of TRAP-positive MNCs. Expression of the cell differentiation marker genes (C) cathepsin K and (D) integrin β3. The expression levels of cathepsin K and integrin β3 were significantly upregulated at 7 days post-irradiation; however, at 30 days post-irradiation, the expression tended to return to normal levels. *P<0.05. TRAP, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase; BMMs, bone marrow-derived macrophages; MNCs, mononuclear cells.
