Sickle-cell disease is one of the most common severe monogenic disorders in the world. Haemoglobin polymerisation, leading to erythrocyte rigidity and vaso-occlusion, is central to the pathophysiology of this disease, although the importance of chronic anaemia, haemolysis, and vasculopathy has been established.

The safety profile of hydroxyurea (HU) in patients with sickle-cell disease (SCD) is relatively well known. However, despite the suspected association of HU with myeloid neoplasms in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and the publication of sporadic ...

HIV-1 Tat phosphorylation on Ser-16 residue modulates HIV-1 transcription
Background HIV-1 transcription activator protein Tat is phosphorylated in vitro by CDK2 and DNA-PK on Ser-16 residue and by PKR on Tat Ser-46 residue. Here we analyzed Tat phosphorylation in cultured cells and its functionality. Results Mass spectrometry

Increased iron export by ferroportin induces restriction of HIV-1 infection in sickle cell disease
: The low incidence of HIV-1 infection in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and inhibition of HIV-1 replication in vitro under the conditions of low intracellular iron or heme treatment suggests a potential restriction of HIV-1 infection in SCD. We

Reduced sensitivity of the ferroportin Q248H mutant to physiological concentrations of hepcidin
Ferroportin Q248H mutation has an allele frequency of 2.2–13.4% in African populations and is associated with a mild tendency to increased serum ferritin in the general population. Some investigators have reported that ferroportin Q248H is degraded after

Bacterial Infection in the Sickle Cell Population: Development and Enabling Factors
The high frequency of bacterial infections represents a major threat to public health. In developing countries, they are still responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations with sickle cell disease, particularly in children
