Analysis of differentially expressed MPD neutrophil microRNA by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of miR-133a and miR-219 were analyzed by qRT-PCR. The expression of miR-133a was down-regulated in both MPD and G-CSF-mobilized neutrophils while that of miR-219 was up-regulated in MPD and G-CSF-mobilized neutrophils. In fact, no miR-219 transcripts were detected in neutrophils from healthy subjects. The results of analysis by qRT-PCR and microRNA expression profiling were similar.
