miR-11 specifically represses a proapoptotic function of its host gene, dE2f1, upon DNA damage. Our results suggest that miR-11 is coexpressed with dE2F1 and specifically inhibits dE2F1-induced cell death targets upon DNA damage, thereby protecting cells from unwanted cellular consequences of dE2F1 activation in this context.
