p16INK4a Translation Suppressed by miR-24
25 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of the tumor suppressor p16(INK4a) increases during aging and replicative senescence. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we report that the microRNA miR-24 suppresses p16 expression in human diploid fibroblasts and cervical carcinoma cells. Increased p16 expression with replicative senescence was associated with decreased levels of miR-24, a microRNA that was predicted to associate with...
