ABSTRACT
MicroRNAs have the potential to regulate systemic and cellular iron homeostasis at multiple points. In iron deficiency anemia (IDA), hypoxia, platelet reactivity, and potentially microRNAs play a role in the development of hypercoagulability. A total of 57 children diagnosed with IDA between October 2016 and October 2017 and 48 healthy children were included in this cross-sectional study. Blood count parameters, serum iron, transferrin saturation, ferritin level, maximum clot firmness (MCF), and clot formation time index, which are indicators of hypercoagulability in rotational thromboelastometry test, of the IDA and control groups obtained in our previous study were recorded. miR-210, miR-122, and miR-223 levels were analyzed. There was no difference in the miR-210, miR-122, and miR-223 levels between the IDA and control groups. Patients with hemoglobin (Hb) <8 g/dL had higher miR-210 levels than patients with Hb>8 g/dL (P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between miR-210 and Hb and ferritin levels, a positive correlation between miR-122 and ferritin levels, and a negative correlation between miR-223 and MCF index. In IDA, there is a close relationship between the severity of anemia and miR-210, and miR-210 expression is slightly increased in those with severe anemia. miR-210 and miR-122 collectively play a role in maintaining the iron balance. The correlation between miR-223, a platelet function regulator, and the MCF index, suggested that miR-223 has a role in the development of hypercoagulability in IDA.
