MicroRNA Dysregulation in Human Thyroid Cells Following Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
17 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ionizing radiation is a well-known mutagen and a risk factor for thyroid cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of gene expression on post-transcriptional level and are dysregulated in thyroid cancer. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of acute exposure to 1 and 10 Gy of γ-irradiation on miRNA expression in normal human thyroid cells. METHODS: Expression...
