miR-155, miR-21, and let-7a Expressions in MCF-10A and MCF-7 Cell Lines after Low to High Dose Irradiation

| Sumario: | Objective: Ionizing radiation is a tremendous risk factor for cancer development. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators that utilize cell pathways, which are implicated in human cancer prognosis. In addition, miRNAs respond to anti-cancer therapy and proliferation after irradiation. However, the changes in miRNA expression profiles in response to irradiation
have not been comprehensively analysed. The present study was designed to assess potential changes that occur in miRNA expression following irradiation.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, we used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRTPCR) to measure the expressions of miR-155, miR-21, and let-7a in MCF-10A (normal breast cells) and MCF-7 (breast cancer cells) six hours after the cells were exposed to five different irradiation doses (50, 100, 400, 2000, and 4000 mGY).
Results: After irradiation from the low to high doses, we observed an upsurge in miR-155 (more than 100%) expression and reduction in let-7a (more than 87%) expression. However, there was an increase and a reduction in miR-21 expression (more than 100%).
Conclusion: Irradiation can play an important role in cancer development in normal breast cells (MCF-10A) at low dose irradiation. However, the results showed little difference at high doses of radiation. |
