effect of Mir-451 upregulation on erythroid lineage differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT

Objective: MicroRNAs [miRNAs] are small endogenous non-coding regulatory RNAs that control mRNAs post-transcriptionally. Several mouse stem cells miRNAs are cloned differentially regulated in different hematopoietic lineages, suggesting their possible role in hematopoietic lineage differentiation. Recent studies have shown that specific miRNAs such as Mir-451 have key roles in erythropoiesis
