Modeling the role of microRNA-449a in the regulation of the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint in prostate LNCaP cells under ionizing radiation.

Recent studies showed that induced microRNA-449a (miR-449a) enhances a G2/M cell cycle checkpoint arrest in prostate cancer (LNCaP) and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. In the case of LNCaP cells, upregulated miR-449a directly downregulates c-Myc that is required to induce the cell cycle regulators C...
