Induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) ameliorates the clinical severity of β-thalassemias. Histone methyltransferase LSD1 enzyme removes methyl groups from the activating chromatin mark histone 3 lysine 4 at silenced genes, including the γ-globin genes. LSD1 inhibitor RN-1 induces HbF levels in cultured human erythroid cells. Here, the HbF-inducing a...

Disease burden prior to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is difficult to assess in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), particularly in patients without excess blasts. We assessed whether morphologic dysplasia at the time of transplant can be a metric of disease burden that is associated with post-transplant outcomes in MDS patients. We identifi...

Introduction: β-Thalassemia/hemoglobin E represents one-half of all the clinically severe β-thalassemias worldwide. Despite similar genetic backgrounds, patients show clinical heterogeneity ranging from nearly asymptomatic to transfusion-dependent thalassemia. The underlying disease modifying factors remain largely obscure. Methods: To elucidate th...

BackgroundSETD8 is the sole methyltransferase capable of mono-methylating histone H4, lysine 20. SETD8 and H4K20me1 play a role in a number of essential biologic processes, including cell cycle progression, establishment of higher order chromatin structure, and transcriptional regulation. SETD8 is highly expressed in erythroid cells and erythroid d...

Haematopoiesis, the process of blood production, occurs from a tiny contingent of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in highly specialised three-dimensional niches located within the bone marrow. When haematopoiesis is replicated using in vitro two-dimensional culture, HSCs rapidly differentiate, limiting self-renewal. Emulsion-templated highly porous...

In vitro generation of red blood cells (RBCs) has the potential to circumvent the shortfalls in global demand for blood for transfusion applications. The conventional approach for RBC generation has been from differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) derived from cord blood, adult bone marrow or peripheral blood. More recently, RBCs have b...

Adult humans need to make 2.5million red blood cells (RBCs) every second to maintain a steady state level of 25trillion circulating RBCs. Understanding normal erythropoiesis as well as diseases that afflict the erythron, such as genetic anemias, hyperproliferative disorders, and myelodysplastic syndromes, requires a robust method to delineate eryth...

Complex developmental programs require orchestration of intrinsic and extrinsic signals to control cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Master regulatory transcription factors are vital components of the machinery that transduce these stimuli into cellular responses. This is exemplified by the GATA family of transcription factors that...

Placenta
The human placenta is a site of both hematopoiesis and vasculogenesis. There are reports of hemangioblastic foci (HAF) in the first trimester placenta, but little published information about their spatiotemporal incidence. We have used semi-thin sections and whole mount staining techniques on archival early pregnancy hysterectomy material as well a...
