微小RNA在电离辐射和肿瘤中的作用
The role of microRNA in tumor and ionizing radiation
-
摘要: MicroRNA(miRNA)是一类含21~25个核苷酸长度的单链小分子RNA,其在细胞生长和发育过程的调节中起到了多重作用,miRNA的突变或异位表达与多种肿瘤相关。电离辐射可以诱导miRNA的改变,从而产生致癌或抑癌效果,而且辐射诱导的miRNA表达变化还显示出细胞特异性和性别特异性。Abstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) are noncoding RNA of 21~25 nucleotides that act as posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression, it plays a multiple role in the regulation of cell growth and development. miRNA mutation or ectopia expression is associated with a variety of tumor. Ionizing radiation which has a carcinogenic or tumor suppressive effect induces changes in miRNA, miRNA expression changes induced by radiation are also cell-specific and gender-specific.
