摘要:
The clinical benefits of hydroxyurea (HU) treatment in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are due largely to increased gamma-globin expression. However, mechanisms that control gamma-globin expression by HU in erythroid progenitors are incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of two HU transporters, urea transporter B (UTB) and organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 (OCTN1), in this process. Endogenous expression of both transporters peaked toward the end of erythroid differentiation. However, unlike UTB, HU-induced OCTN1 expression correlated positively with gamma-globin level and was sustained throughout the period of induction. These results highlight a potential major role for OCTN1 in promoting the efficacy of HU. Copyright (C) 2016 ISEH - International Society for Experimental Hematology. Published by Elsevier Inc.
