Reduced PU.1 expression underlies aberrant neutrophil maturation and function in β-thalassemia mice and patients
22 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
mice. Similar changes to neutrophil morphology and PU.1 expression were observed in splenectomized and nonsplenectomized HbE/β-thalassemia patients. This study provides a mechanistic insight into defective neutrophil maturation in β-thalassemia patients, which contributes to deficiencies in neutrophil effector functions.
