siRNA-mediated reduction of α-globin results in phenotypic improvements in β-thalassemic cells
Haematologica, 2008 β-thalassemia is an inherited hemoglobinopathy caused by defective synthesis of the β-globin chain of hemoglobin, leading to imbalanced globin chain synthesis.

The Globin Gene Family in Arthropods: Evolution and Functional Diversity
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Globins are small heme-proteins that reversibly bind oxygen. Their most prominent roles in vertebrates are the transport and storage of O2 for oxidative energy metabolism, but recent research has suggested alternative, non-respiratory globin functions ...

Erythroid-specific expression of β-globin from Sleeping Beauty-transduced human hematopoietic progenitor cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Gene therapy for sickle cell disease will require efficient delivery of a tightly regulated and stably expressed gene product to provide an effective therapy. In this study we utilized the non-viral Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system using the SB100X

Regulation of the Globin Genes [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 2002 The a- and b-globin gene clusters are subject to several levels of regulation. They are expressed exclusively in the erythroid cells, only during defined periods of development and in a perfectly tuned way, assuring, at any stage of ontogeny, a correct balance in the availability of a- and b-globin chains for hemoglobin assembling. Such a tight control

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.A novel erythropoietin (EPO) promoter mutation (c.‐136 G>A) causes autosomal dominant erythrocytosis via non‐renal expression of EPO. ABSTRACT We previously reported a five‐generation kindred with autosomal dominant erythrocytosis associated with a novel germline promoter variant in the erythropoietin (EPO) gene (EPO c.‐136 G>A).

Globin Associated Oxidative Stress
Antioxidants, 2023 Globins have been studied for their “pseudo-peroxidase” activity for over 70 years, being an ideal model of other kinetically more rapid metalloenzymes [...]

Post-transcriptional regulation of satellite cell quiescence by TTP-mediated mRNA decay. [PDF]
, 2015 Skeletal muscle satellite cells in their niche are quiescent and upon muscle injury, exit quiescence, proliferate to repair muscle tissue, and self-renew to replenish the satellite cell population.

New approaches to treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with Colla corii asini
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Colla corii asini improves chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment through anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, immune‐modulatory, and lung‐nourishing effects, addressing current therapeutic challenges via multitarget mechanisms. Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability ...

Human Genomics, 2020 The expression of the human β-like globin genes follows a well-orchestrated developmental pattern, undergoing two essential switches, the first one during the first weeks of gestation (ε to γ), and the second one during the perinatal period (γ to β). The

Frontiers in GeneticsObjectivesδ-thalassemia and δ-globin variants are rare hemoglobinopathies. However, co-inheritance of β-thalassemia and δ-globin gene mutations may affect the diagnosis of β-thalassemia carriers when based on the elevated Hb A2.
