AIMS Ageing of the immune system, immunosenescence, is characterized by impaired lymphopoiesis, especially B-lymphocyte maturation, and is a hallmark of chronic heart failure (CHF). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding, small RNAs, which post-transcriptionally control gene expression of multiple target genes. The miR-181 family is known to control haematopoietic lineage differentiation. Here, we study the role of the miR-181 family in immunosenescence and CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a… CONTINUE READING
