AbstractThe human ζ-globin gene (HBZ) is transcribed in primitive erythroid cells only during the embryonic stages of development. Reactivation of this embryonic globin synthesis would likely alleviate symptoms both in α-thalassemia and sickle-cell disease. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling ζ-globin expression have remained largely undefined. Moreover, the pharmacologic agent capable of inducing ζ-globin production is currently unavailable. Here, we show that TRIAC, a bioactive thyroid hormone metabolite, significantly induced ζ-globin gene expression during zebrafish embryogenesis. The induction of ζ-globin expression by TRIAC was also observed in human K562 erythroleukemia cell line and primary erythroid cells. Thyroid hormone receptor α (THRA) deficiency abolished the ζ-globin-inducing effect of TRIAC. Furthermore, THRA could directly bind to the distal enhancer regulatory element to regulate ζ-globin expression. Our study provides the first evidence that TRIAC acts as a potent inducer of ζ-globin expression, which might serve as a new potential therapeutic option for patients with severe α-thalassemia or sickle-cell disease.
