Distinctive microRNA expression profiles in CD34+ bone marrow cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndrome

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs functioning as regulators of hematopoiesis. Their differential expression patterns have been linked with various pathological processes originating from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, limited information is available regarding the role of miRNA...

Description
Summary:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs functioning as regulators of hematopoiesis. Their differential expression patterns have been linked with various pathological processes originating from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, limited information is available regarding the role of miRNAs in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Using miRNA arrays, we measured expression of 1,145 miRNAs in CD34+ bone marrow cells obtained from 39 MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) evolved from MDS patients, and compared them with those of six healthy donors. Differential miRNA expression was analyzed and a panel of upregulated ( n =13) and downregulated ( n =9) miRNAs were found ( P
