Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are approximately 22 nt single-stranded noncoding RNAs that control gene expression in eukaryotes. miRNAs play an essential role in all basic cellular processes including cell development, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Importantly, miRNAs regulate hematopoietic progenitor cells differentiation toward the different hematopoietic lineages. This occurs through the regulation of key factors involved in hematopoiesis (e.g., transcription factors, growth factor receptors). We, hereby, describe how to investigate the role of miRNAs in monocytopoiesis.

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...
