Popis: Although a growing number of studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a relevant role in platelet biology, their implications in bleeding diatheses are starting to be investigated. Indeed, several studies have shown that alterations in the intracellular levels of highly expressed platelet miRNAs provoke a thrombotic phenotype. On the other hand, primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which is considered the hallmark of acquired bleeding disorders, has been recently associated with altered levels of miRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, plasma, and platelets. In this review, we will focus on miRNAs that may affect the hemostatic and thrombotic functions of platelets, and we will discuss the different studies that have attempted to associate miRNAs with regulatory mechanisms of ITP.
