Aim: Roles of forced running exercise (FE) in remediation of neurogenesis inhibition and radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction were investigated in a whole-brain irradiation mice model via the regulation of DNA 5-hydroxymethylation modification (5 hmC) and its catalytic enzymes ten–eleven translocation (Tet) proteins. Materials & methods: Hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive function, DNA 5 hmC level and Tet expression were determined in mice. Results: The expression of DNA 5 hmC and Tet2, brain-derived neurotrophic factor significantly decreased in hippocampus postradiation. FE mitigated radiation-induced neurogenesis deficits and cognitive dysfunction. Furthermore, FE increased 5 hmC and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression. SC1, a Tet inhibitor, reversed partly such changes. Conclusion: Tet-mediated 5 hmC modification represents a kind of diagnostic biomarkers of radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction. Targeting Tet-related epigenetic modification may be a novel therapeutic strategy for radiation-induced brain injury.
