4. MicroRNA regulation (and deregulation) of hematopoiesis miR-17-92 cluster: expression decreases during monocyte development; highly expressed in pre B and T precursor cells and decreases after maturation miR-146: drives naïve T cells to become T1 helper cells over Th2 cells miR-223: expressed specifically in the granulocyte lineage; decreases as cells move from MEPs to erythrocytes miR-221/222: downregulated during erythropoiesis (Modified from Baltimore et al, 2008)

Low expression levels of miR-27a in leukemia cells compared to HSPCs…….a hint? miRNA microarray data qRT-PCR data Does the fact that miR-27a expression is low or absent in multiple leukemia cell lines and patient samples mean anything in the etiology of the disease? 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 RQ value (normalized to CD34+ cells) CD34+ K562 TF-1 KOPN8 HEK293T ALL #1 ALL #2 miR-23a miR-23b miR-27a miR-27b 34,913 TF1 47,337 REH 38,099 K562 113,257 CD34+ (HSPCs) miR-27a expression Cell type
