The BACH1 inhibitor ASP8731 inhibits inflammation and vaso-occlusion and induces fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell disease
In sickle cell disease (SCD), heme released during intravascular hemolysis promotes oxidative stress, inflammation, and vaso-occlusion. Conversely, free heme can also activate expression of antioxidant and globin genes. Heme binds to the transcription factor BACH1, which represses NRF2-mediated gene...
