摘要: Sickle Cell Disease and s-thalassemia, which are caused by defective or deficient adult s-globin (HBB) respectively, the most common serious genetic blood diseases in world. Persistent expression of fetal s-like globin, also known as 𝛾-globin, can ameliorate both disorders serving place a part hemoglobin tetramer (HbF). Here we use CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to explore potential 𝛾-globin silencer region upstream δ-globin identified comparison naturally-occurring deletion mutations associated with up-regulated 𝛾-globin. We find that 1.7 kb consensus element select 350 bp sub-regions from bulk populations cells increases levels HbF. Screening individual sgRNAs one sub-region revealed three single guides expression. Deletion HUDEP-2 clonal sublines, colonies derived CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor (HSPCs), does not cause significant up-regulation These data suggest is an autonomous silencer, thus itself suitable therapeutic target for treatment s-hemoglobinopathies.
