Antiviral response and HIV-1 inhibition in sickle cell disease

iScience
Summary: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by hemolysis, vaso-occlusion, and ischemia. HIV-1 infection was previously shown to be suppressed in SCD PBMCs.

HIV-1 Transcription Inhibitor 1E7-03 Restores LPS-Induced Alteration of Lung Leukocytes’ Infiltration Dynamics and Resolves Inflammation in HIV Transgenic Mice

Viruses, 2020
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals treated with anti-retroviral therapy often develop chronic non-infectious lung disease. To determine the mechanism of HIV-1-associated lung disease we evaluated the dynamics of lung leukocytes in ...

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Erythroid Adhesion Molecules in Sickle Cell Anaemia Infants: Insights Into Early Pathophysiology

EBioMedicine, 2015
Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) results from a single mutation in the β globin gene. It is seldom symptomatic in the first semester of life. We analysed the expression pattern of 9 adhesion molecules on red blood cells, in a cohort of 54 SCA and 17 non-SCA ...

Targeting transcription factors associated with hemoglobinopathies: Lessons from successful interventions and implications for cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the transcription factors, repressive chromatin‐modifying complexes, and epigenetic mechanisms that control fetal hemoglobin repression. Notably, many regulators of γ‐globin silencing also function in transcriptional and epigenetic networks that drive cancer, highlighting opportunities to translate advances in hemoglobinopathy ...

Therapeutic Gene Editing of APOE4 in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease via Prime Editor 7

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prime Editor 7‐mediated conversion of APOE4 to APOE3 alleviates Alzheimer's disease‐associated pathology in AD mouse models and patient‐derived neurons and improves cognitive performance in vivo, supporting therapeutic genome editing as a promising strategy for APOE4‐associated neurodegeneration.

MN•CS•IO System: Cross‐Species Study for HBB Function in High‐Altitude Hypoxia Adaptation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed an integrative mesh‐nanorod sorting, chitosan nanoparticle delivery, and intraosseous injection (MN•CS•IO) system to investigate HBB in high‐altitude hypoxia adaptation. Transplanting Tibetan animals' HBB‐modified Lin‐ cells into mice achieved 95.59% transfection efficiency and 8.15% HBB expression. High‐altitude HBB recipients upregulated

Specifying sickle cell disease interventions: a study protocol of the Sickle Cell Disease Implementation Consortium (SCDIC)

BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that results in a lifetime of anemia, severe pain, and end-organ damage that can lead to premature mortality.
