Pharmacologic reactivation of fetal hemoglobin expression is a promising strategy for treatment of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the methyl transferase inhibitor adenosine-2’,3’-dialdehyde (Adox) on induction of human fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in K562 cells and human hematopoietic progenitor cells. Expression levels of human fetal hemoglobin were assessed by northern blot analysis and Real-time PCR. HbF and adult hemoglobin (HbA) content were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). DNA methylation levels on human gamma-globin gene promoters were determined using Bisulfite sequence analysis. Enrichment of histone marks on genes was assessed by chromosome immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Adox induced γ-globin gene expression in both K562 cells and in human bone marrow erythroid progenitor cells through a mechanism potentially involving inhibition of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5). The ability of methyl transferase inhibitors such as Adox to efficiently reactivate fetal hemoglobin expression suggests that these agents may provide a means of reactivating fetal globin expression as a therapeutic option for treating sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia.
