High dose ionizing radiation regulates micro RNA and gene expression changes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High dose ionizing radiation (IR) induces potent toxic cell effects mediated by either direct DNA damage or the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). IR-induced modulations in multiple biological processes have been proposed to be partly regulated by radiosensitive microRNA (miRNA). In order to gain new insights into the role of miRNAs in the regulation of biological processes after IR, we have...
