The generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by exogenous transcription factors involves a comprehensive rearrangement of cellular functions, including the microRNA profile. The resulting cell lines are similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells and have therefore raised much interest for in vitro studies and the perspective of clinical application. Yet, nnicroRNAs are not mere listeners of the reprogramming orchestra but play an active role in the process. In consequence, overexpression or suppression of individual microRNAs has profound effects in colony formation efficiency, and in combination they can produce iPS cells without added transcription factors. Moreover, variations in microRNA expression of iPS/ES cells can predict their differentiation potential and may have consequences at other levels. Altogether, these findings highlight the relevance of pursuing further these studies.
