let-7 miRNAs repress HIC2 to regulate BCL11A transcription and hemoglobin switching
16 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: The switch from fetal hemoglobin (γ-globin, HBG) to adult hemoglobin (β-globin, HBB) gene transcription in erythroid cells serves as a paradigm for a complex and clinically relevant developmental gene regulatory program. We previously identified HIC2 as a regulator of the switch by inhibiting the transcription of BCL11A, a key repressor of HBG production. HIC2 is highly expressed in fetal cells, but the...
