MicroRNA dysregulation and its impact on apoptosis-related signaling pathways in myelodysplastic syndrome.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) holds a unique position among blood cancers, encompassing a spectrum of blood-related disorders marked by impaired maturation of blood cell precursors, bone marrow abnormalities, genetic instability, and a higher likelihood of progressing to acute myeloid leukemia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNA molecules typically 18-24 nucleotides in length, are known to regulate gene expression and contribute to various biological processes, including cellular differentiation and programmed cell death. Additionally, miRNAs are involved in many aspects of cancer development, influencing cell growth, transformation, and apoptosis. In this study, we explore the impact of microRNAs on cellular apoptosis in MDS.
