MicroRNA (miRNA) is a small, single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecule that plays a variety of key roles in different biological processes through post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. MiRNA has been proved to be a variety of cellular processes involved in development, differentiation, signal transduction, and is an important regulator of immune and autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it may act as potent modulators of the immune system and play an important role in the development of several autoimmune diseases. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune systemic disease characterized by a low platelet count. Several studies suggest that like other autoimmune disorders, miRNAs are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of ITP, interacting with the function of innate and adaptive immune responses. In this review, we discuss emerging knowledge about the function of miRNAs in ITP and describe miRNAs in terms of their role in the immune system and autoimmune response. These findings suggest that miRNA may be a useful therapeutic target for ITP by regulating the immune system. In the future, we need to have a more comprehensive understanding of miRNAs and how they regulate the immune system of patients with ITP.
