Stochastic expression of fetal hemoglobin in adult erythroid cells.
The expression of fetal hemoglobin, Hb F, in the adult cells is cellularly restricted both in vivo and in culture. Because, in cultures of erythroid progenitors, subclones that express or fail to express Hb F are derived from the same erythroid stem cell, a mechanism must exist whereby Hb F expression segregates in the progeny of erythroid progenitors during their differentiation. We present ma...
متن کاملFetal calf serum contains activities that induce fetal hemoglobin in adult erythroid cell cultures.
Cultures of peripheral blood or bone marrow erythroid progenitors display stimulated production of fetal hemoglobin. We investigated whether this stimulation is due to factors contained in the sera of the culture medium. Comparisons of gamma/gamma + beta biosynthetic ratios in erythroid colonies grown in fetal calf serum (FCS) or in charcoal treated FCS (C-FCS) showed that FCS-grown cells had s...
متن کاملIn vitro Induction of Fetal Hemoglobin in Erythroid Cells Derived from CD133 Cells by Transforming Growth Factor-b and Stem Cell Factor
Increased fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in b-globin gene disorders ameliorates the clinical symptoms of the underlying disease. 5-azacytidine, butyrate and hydroxyurea, have been shown to activate g-globin gene expression. It has also been found that hematopoietic growth factors can influence expression of g-globin in erythroid cultures and in animal models. This study was designed to evaluate the in ...
متن کاملAggregation of adult and fetal hemoglobin by ingested nitrate anions
The ingested nitrates sourced from tap water, food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals areconverted to nitrites in the body surfaces by bacteria and then, the nitrite ions can lead thestructural changing in hemoglobin. In the present work, aggregation of the purified hemoglobinin adult (HbA) and in fetus or newborn (HbF) in the presence of nitrite ions were studied.Hemoglobin aggregation was perform...
متن کاملHemin-induced acceleration of hemoglobin production in immature cultured erythroid cells: preferential enhancement of fetal hemoglobin.
The effects of heme, when added as the ferric chloride salt, hemin, on human erythroid cells grown in a two-phase liquid culture system were studied. When added together with erythropoietin, on initiation of the second phase of the culture, hemin greatly accelerated hemoglobin (Hb) accumulation in these cells. The effect was greater during their early stages of maturation, suggesting that heme ...
