PIEZO1 activation delays erythroid differentiation of normal and hereditary xerocytosis-derived human progenitor cells
14 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary xerocytosis is a dominantly inherited red cell membrane disorder caused in most cases by gain-of-function mutations in PIEZO1, encoding a mechanosensitive ion channel that translates a mechanic stimulus into calcium influx. We found that PIEZO1 was expressed early in erythroid progenitor cells, and investigated whether it could be involved in erythropoiesis, besides having a role in the homeostasis of...
