Hemoglobin synthesis in somatic cell hybrids: independent segregation of the human alpha- and beta-globin genes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hybrid somatic cells containing a partial complement of human chromosomes were used to demonstrate that the human alpha- and beta-globin genes are located on different chromosomes. Two cell lines consisting of a cross of mouse with human fibroblasts contained the human alpha- and not the beta-globin gene, while a cross of human marrow cells with mouse erythroleukemia cells expressed the human beta- but not the alpha-globin gene.

Hematologic Features of Alpha Thalassemia Carriers
Alpha thalassemia (α-thal) is relatively common worldwide. Most carriers are defective in either one or two alpha globin genes out of four functional ones, with deletions being more common than point mutations. The hematologic features are very important for the selection of the appropriate molecular tests while determining the genotype. The aim of this study was to compare hematologic features...
متن کاملOnly adult hemoglobin is produced in fetal nonerythroid x MEL cell hybrids.
In order to test whether the ontogenetic origin of human parental cells influences the expression of globin genes, we did fusions of mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells with fetal or adult nonerythroid cells and we assessed globin expression in hybrids. For selection of hybrid clones we used a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a human chromosome 11-linked cell surface marker. Globin expression ...
متن کاملبررسی بیان ژن های موثر در سنتز گاما گلوبین قبل و بعد از تمایز سلول های بنیادی خونساز به رده سلول های اریتروئیدی
Background and aim: Induction of fetal hemoglobin (Hb-F) can improve the patients’ symptoms of haemoglobinopathies. Several factors can induce gamma globin gene expression and increased Hb-F levels in patients. In this study, the expression of genes is involved in regulation of gamma globin synthesis such as PIPKII-alpha BCL11a, and miR-30a during CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell differentiation i...
متن کاملIdentification of a Neonate with Thalassemia Intermedia Despite Premarital Screening Program in Mazandaran Province (Co-inheritance of Hb Knossos and IVS II-1 G> A Mutations)
Background: Beta thalassemia is a common health problem in Iran especially in Northern provinces. Premarital screening for thalassemia is compulsory in Iran and identification of the carriers is based on primary CBC (Cell Blood Count) and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Silent mutations on β-globin gene have borderline or normal hematological indices that cannot be detected in premarital scree...
متن کاملErbb is linked to the alpha-globin locus on mouse chromosome 11.
A fragment of the human gene for c-erb-B was used to map homologous sequences in mice. Analysis of somatic cell hybrids and recombinant inbred and congenic mouse strains indicated that this gene, designated Erbb, is closely linked to the gene for alpha-globin on mouse chromosome 11. Several genes controlling hematopoietic differentiation map to mouse chromosome 11.
