The fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch and silencing of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) have been areas of long-standing interest among hematologists, given the fact that clinical induction of HbF production holds tremendous promise to ameliorate the clinical symptoms of sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia. In this article, we discuss historic attempts to induce HbF that have resulted in some ther...
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is regulated as a multigenic trait. By genome-wide association study, we confirmed that HBS1L-MYB intergenic polymorphisms (HMIP) and BCL11A polymorphisms are highly associated with HbF in Chinese β-thalassemia heterozygotes. In this population, the variance in HbF resulting from the HMIP is 13.5%; that resulting from the BCL11A polymorphism is 6.4%. To identify the funct...
Due to methodological difficulties related to the small size, variable distribution of hippocampal arteries, and the location of the hippocampus in the proximity of middle cranial fossa, little is known about hippocampal blood flow (HBF). We have tested the utility of a pulsed arterial spin labeling sequence based on multi-shot true fast imaging in steady precession to measure HBF in 34 normal ...
High foetal haemoglobin (HbF) levels are believed to ameliorate the manifestations of homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease. The corollary implies that patients with low HbF levels should have more severe clinical courses. We investigated this in a retrospective study of 50 Jamaican patients with steady-state HbF levels below 1% compared with a control group (A) of 54 subjects with steady-state H...
We systematically compared cytokine-mediated increases or decreases in proliferation with globin gene and protein expression in adult human erythroblasts. Despite their opposite effects on growth, stem cell factor (SCF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B) had synergistic effects with respect to fetal hemoglobin (HbF): average HbF/HbF + adult hemoglobin (HbA) ratio in erythropoietin (EPO...
UNLABELLED Although increased fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels have proven benefit for people with β-hemoglobinopathies, all current HbF-inducing agents have limitations. We previously reported that drugs that activate the NRF2 antioxidant response signaling pathway increase HbF in primary human erythroid cells. In an attempt to increase HbF levels achieved with NRF2 activators, in the present stu...
A new hematopoietic growth factor (Steel factor) has been identified which stimulates erythroid proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. We evaluated the influence of recombinant Steel factor on hemoglobin synthesis in peripheral blood (PB) BFU-E-derived cells from normal donors by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and compared it with stimulation with GM-CSF and interleukin-3 (IL-3). Only Steel factor st...
We have previously shown that acute erythropoietic (Ep) stress by hemolysis or hypobaric hypoxia causes elevations of HbF in the baboon. The magnitude of these elevations is genetically determined, ranging from 3% to 60% (low, intermediate, and high responders). These genetic differences in HbF levels among animals are mainly due to differences in the number of HbF-containing cells ("F-cells")....
Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) holds therapeutic potential for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemias. In human erythroid cells and hematopoietic organs, LIN28B and its targeted let-7 microRNA family, demonstrate regulated expression during the fetal-to-adult developmental transition. To explore the effects of LIN28B in human erythroid cell development, lentiviral transduction was used ...
Hemoglobin switching is largely complete in humans by six months of age. Among infants with sickle cell anemia (HbSS, SCA), reticulocytosis begins early in life as fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is replaced by sickle hemoglobin (HbS). The objective of this study was to determine if absolute reticulocyte count (ARC) is related to HbF levels in a cohort of pediatric SCA patients. A convenience sample of ...
