KSRP specifies monocytic and granulocytic differentiation through regulating miR-129 biogenesis and RUNX1 expression

Abstract

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate RNA activity and are implicated in haematopoietic malignancies, but their role in myeloid cell specification is unclear. Here, the authors show a role for the RBP KSRP in promoting granulocyte fate over monocyte fate through the biogenesis of miR-129 and a decrease in RUNX1.
