Short-chain fatty acids induce γ-globin gene expression by displacement of a HDAC3-NCoR repressor complex
19 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
High-level induction of fetal (gamma) globin gene expression for therapy of beta-hemoglobinopathies likely requires local chromatin modification and dissociation of repressor complexes for gamma-globin promoter activation. A novel gamma-globin-inducing short-chain fatty acid derivative (SCFAD), RB7, which was identified through computational modeling, produced a 6-fold induction in a reporter assay that detects...
