Description

References

miR-212/132 cluster

FOXO3

miR-132 utilized its efficacy on senescence HSCs by targeting the transcription agent FOXO3, a recognized aging-related gene. In addition, these miRNAs have a function in preserving balanced HSCs output

[126]

miR-125b

HOXA1

Overexpression of miR-125b alters the HSC compartment composition by providing HSCs with a more stress-resistant and anti-apoptotic environment, resulting in an increase frequency of the CD150low "lineage balanced" and CD150neg lymphoid-biased HSC subsets

[127,128,129]

miR-33

p53

Defining the function of miR-33 in regulating the HSC self-renewal via p53 may result in the inhibition and therapy of hematopoietic disorders

[130]

miR-146a

TRAF6

Therefore, loss of miR-146a controls cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic pathways associating HSC inflammation to the development of AML

[133]

miR-139 − 5p

BRG1

miR-139-5p is a crucial modulator of cellular proliferation in primary hematopoiesis and is a strong antileukemic molecule

[138]

miR-126

CDK3

miR-126 targets the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, protecting AML stem cell quiescence and promoting antineoplastic resistance

[128, 136]

miR-193b

c-KIT

Ectopic miR-193b expression limits long-time repopulating HSC development and blood regeneration. miR-193b-defective HSCs and pHSCs show enhanced basic and cytokine-stimulated STAT5 and AKT signaling. This STAT5-stimulated miRNA provides negative feedback for extreme signaling to limit unregulated HSC increase

[139]

miR-382 − 5p

MXD1

miR-382-5p overexpression in CD34 + HSCs/pHSCs results in a remarkable reduction of megakaryocyte precursors coupled to augment granulocyte ones

[140]

miR-155

CXCL12

miR-155 enhances G-CSF-stimulated mobilization of murine HSCs and pHSCs through the propagation of CXCL12 signaling

[141]

miR-143/145

TGFβ

miR-143/145 plays a cell context-related function in HSPC action via control of TGFβ/DAB2 triggering, and lack of these miRNAs generates a preleukemic condition
