Transgenic mice were generated which carried the adult alpha and beta-globin genes and the major tadpole specific beta-globin gene of Xenopus laevis. The adult specific alpha and beta genes were found to express in erythroid tissues in adult mice, while the major tadpole specific beta gene (beta T1) was expressed in blood from 12.5 day embryos. The pattern of expression of the beta T1 gene duri...
Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin genes has been proposed as a potential therapeutic procedure in patients with beta-thalassemia, sickle cell disease, or other beta-hemoglobinopathies. In vitro model systems based on small plasmid globin gene constructs have previously been used in human and mouse erythroleukemic cell lines to study the molecular mechanisms regulating the expression of the fetal...
beta-thalassemias are the most common single gene disorders and are potentially amenable to gene therapy. However, retroviral vectors carrying the human beta-globin cassette have been notoriously unstable. Recently, considerable progress has been made using lentiviral vectors, which stably transmit the beta-globin expression cassette. Thus far, mouse studies have shown correction of the beta-th...
A high-titer amphotropic retroviral vector containing the neomycin resistance gene and a hybrid gamma-beta genomic human globin gene has been constructed. Mouse erythroleukemia cells infected with this virus were found to contain the full transcriptional unit of the transferred human globin gene by Southern blot analysis. These cells contain normally initiated, spliced, and terminated human glo...
Experiments were designed to test the effect of introns on gene expression in transgenic mice. Four different pairs of gene constructs, which were identical except that one member of each pair lacked all introns, were compared for expression of mRNA after introduction into the murine germ line by microinjection of fertilized eggs. The expression of two chimeric genes, made by fusing either the ...
The thymidylate synthase (TS) gene is expressed at a much higher level in cells undergoing DNA replication than in nondividing cells. In growth-stimulated mammalian cells, TS mRNA content increases 10 to 20-fold as cells progress from G1 through S phase. However, the rate of transcription of the TS gene does not increase during this interval, indicating that the gene is regulated at the posttra...
We have examined the dynamics of nuclear repositioning and the establishment of a replication timing program for the actively transcribed dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) locus and the silent beta-globin gene locus in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The DHFR locus was internally localized and replicated early, whereas the beta-globin locus was localized adjacent to the nuclear periphery and replicat...
Studies in many systems have led to the model that the human beta-globin locus control region (LCR) regulates the transcription, chromatin structure, and replication properties of the beta-globin locus. However the precise mechanisms of this regulation are unknown. We have developed strategies to use homologous recombination in a tissue culture system to examine how the LCR regulates the locus ...
The human beta-globin locus control region (LCR) confers high-level, tissue-specific expression to the beta-globin genes. Tandem Maf recognition elements (MAREs) within the hypersensitive site 2 (HS2) subregion of the LCR are important for the strong enhancer activity of the LCR. Multiple proteins are capable of interacting with these sites in vitro, including the erythroid cell- and megakaryoc...
We have compared the rates of alpha- and beta-globin gene transcription with the rates of mature globin mRNA appearance in the cytoplasm during the course of chemically induced differentiation of mouse erythroleukemia cells by in vivo pulse-labeling experiments. The absolute rates for both processes were determined by simultaneously measuring incorporation into globin-specific transcripts and i...
