Abstract EN
The production of different types of blood cells including their formation, development, and differentiation is collectively known as haematopoiesis.
Blood cells are divided into three lineages erythriod (erythrocytes), lymphoid (B and T cells), and myeloid (granulocytes, megakaryocytes, and macrophages).
Haematopoiesis is a complex process regulated by several mechanisms including microRNAs (miRNAs).
miRNAs are small RNAs which regulate the expression of a number of genes involved in commitment and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells.
Evidence shows that miRNAs play an important role in haematopoiesis; for example, myeloid and erythroid differentiation is blocked by the overexpression of miR-15a.
miR-221, miR-222, and miR-24 inhibit the erythropoiesis, whereas miR-150 plays a role in B and T cell differentiation.
miR-146 and miR-10a are downregulated in megakaryopoiesis.
Aberrant expression of miRNAs was observed in hematological malignancies including chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myelomas, and B cell lymphomas.
In this review we have focused on discussing the role of miRNA in haematopoiesis.
