Erythroblasts derived from responders are less sensitive to HU treatment and express higher HbF at baseline. NR-HEPs (A) grow faster than R-HEPs (B). After HU treatment, growth curves of NR-HEPs (A) decline more than those of R-HEPs (B). (C) HU sensitivity curves for NR-HEPs and R-HEPs, normalized by taking the ratio of cell proliferation of HU-treated cells over non-treated cells. (D) Hemoglobin induction by 100 μM HU (5 days) in NR-HEPs and R-HEPs; as in (C). (A-D) P<0.05 are indicated. (E) Representative cytospins of NR-HEPs and R-HEPs treated with HU for three days. Cytospins were stained with histological dyes and neutral benzidine. Hemoglobinized cells are stained brown. Pyknotic cells are indicated by arrows.
