MiR-34a is up-regulated in response to low dose, low energy X-ray induced DNA damage in breast cells
5 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs are non-coding RNAs involved in the regulation of gene expression including DNA damage responses. Low doses of low energy X-ray radiation, similar to those used in mammographic exams, has been described to be genotoxic. In the present work we investigated the expression of miR-34a; a well described p53-regulated miRNA implicated in cell responses to X-ray irradiation at low doses. METHODS:...
