Novel targets for γ-globin gene transcriptional activation.
Notes: Transcription factors directly or indirectly affecting (either positively or negatively) γ-globin gene transcription are listed, together with known regulatory microRNAs. High expression of miR-15a,153 miR-16-1-1,153 miR-486-3p,155 miR-23a,154 and miR27a154 might lead to downregulation of repressors of γ-globin genes (MYB, BCL11A, KLF3, Sp1) and increased HbF production.
Abbreviation: LCR, locus control region; HbF, fetal hemoglobin; HbA, adult hemoglobin.
