Zusammenfassung
Introduction: We previously linked high expression of human chromosome 21 (hsa21) encoded miR-125b-2 to the increased risk of children with trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome; DS) to develop acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (DS-AMKL). MiR-125b-2 resides in a tricistronic miRNA cluster harboring miR-99a/let-7c/miR-125b-2. Methods: Here, we sought to decipher the combined and individual regulatory functions of miR-99˜125 cluster miRNAs during hematopoiesis and leukemic transformation by investigating lentivirally transduced human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Results: TSS mapping of the miR-99˜125b polycistrons d…
