Abstract

As a family of small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) negatively modulate gene expression via directly targeting mRNAs in a sequence-specific pattern. Accumulated evidences have indicated that miRNAs involved in erythroid differentiation. Some experimental systems used for study the association of miRNAs with erythroid differentiation: 1) embryonic stem cells (hESCs) forced to erythropoiesis, 2) hematopoietic progenitor cells and erythroid-like cell lines induced to erythropoiesis by hypoxia and chemical substances, 3) and in vivo mice, zebrafish embryo systems. Based on the literatures, miR-451, miR-144, miR-486, miR-126-3p, miR-107, miR-199b-5p, miR-362, miR-188, miR-210, miR-125a, miR-146b, miR-22, miR-23a / miR-27a / miR-24, miR-16-2, miR-34a exhibit promotion role in erythropoiesis, while, miR-218, miR-320a, miR-221 / 222, miR-433, miR-200a, miR-223, miR-150, miR-34a-5p, miR-124, miR-Let-7d, miR-376a, miR-155, miR-126 / 126*, miR-103, miR-15a, miR-30a-5p, miR-26a-5p, miR-669m, miR-9 show suppression role in erythropoiesis. Nonetheless, the clear functional role of miR-24 is controversial in erythropoiesis. This article summarized the relationships between miRNAs and erythroid differentiation as well as potential target genes and action mechanisms. These discovered erythroid associated miRNAs stand for the starting point to develop novel approaches for miRNA treatment, miRNAs to be used as novel potential biomarker and target for diagnosis, therapeutics, prognosis of certain blood diseases, leading to promising prospects in blood diseases therapeutics.
