Regulation of BCL11A DNA binding and expression in human erythrocyte precursor HUDEP-2 cells

Listed in NCBI GEO

BCL11A is a transcription factor crucial for neurodevelopment and hematopoiesis.

Description

It regulates the developmental switch from fetal hemoglobin (HbF) to adult hemoglobin and is a major therapeutic target for sickle cell disease and b-thalassemia. We investigated BCL11A functions in human erythrocyte precursor HUDEP-2 cells.

We treated HUDEP-2 cells (which normally express adult hemoglobin) with inhibitors targeting epigenetic silencing marks - DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 27 methylation. All treatments, individually or in combination, increased HbF expression to varying degrees.
