1 We examined the effect of the anthracyclines aclarubicin, bleomycin, daunorubicin, doxorubicin and idarubicin on human gamma- and beta-globin promoter activity in an in vitro luciferase assay, ex vivo in erythroid cultures and in vivo in transgenic mice carrying the human gamma-globin gene. Daunorubicin hemoglobin subunit gamma 1 Homo sapiens
2 Daunorubicin induced HbF in thalassaemic cells ex vivo with the highest statistical significance and, importantly and in contrast to the clinical HbF inducer hydroxyurea, showed specific induction of gamma-globin without associated induction of alpha-globin. Daunorubicin hemoglobin subunit gamma 1 Homo sapiens
3 Daunorubicin was screened in transgenic mice carrying the human (A)gamma-globin gene, and it resulted in increased (A)gamma-globin mRNA levels. Daunorubicin hemoglobin subunit gamma 1 Homo sapiens
4 Daunorubicin was screened in transgenic mice carrying the human (A)gamma-globin gene, and it resulted in increased (A)gamma-globin mRNA levels. Daunorubicin hemoglobin subunit gamma 1 Homo sapiens
