LSD1 inhibition enhances robust fetal hemoglobin induction in human β0-thalassemia/HbE erythroid cells

Induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) ameliorates the clinical severity of β-thalassemias. Histone methyltransferase LSD1 enzyme removes methyl groups from the activating chromatin mark histone 3 lysine 4 at silenced genes, including the γ-globin genes. LSD1 inhibitor RN-1 induces HbF levels in cultur...
