Reversible regulation of γ-globin expression by LRF through a BCL11A-independent mechanism

open access: yesBlood Red Cells & Iron
: Leukemia/lymphoma-related factor (LRF; encoded by ZBTB7A ) is a key repressor of γ-globin expression that functions with BCL11A through recruitment of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

In silico postscreening study of antisickling agents to treat sickle cell disease

open access: yesBlood Red Cells & Iron
: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects ∼100 000 people in the United States and millions worldwide. Although curative therapies exist, their application is limited by cost and donor availability, making drug therapy the most accessible option for most ...

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Hepcidin assays in the diagnostic workup of iron disorders: rationale, indications, and interpretation

open access: yesBlood Red Cells & Iron
: Hepcidin is the central hormonal regulator of systemic iron homeostasis and a critical mediator and biomarker of iron disorders. Extensive basic and clinical studies have clarified hepcidin’s role in controlling dietary iron absorption, iron recycling ...

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...
