Lentiviral globin gene therapy with reduced-intensity conditioning in adults with β-thalassemia: a phase 1 trial

Farid Boulad et al.

Summary: This study reports the 6-8-year follow-up of four adult patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia who received autologous CD34(+) cells transduced with a lentiviral globin vector. The findings suggest that non-myeloablative conditioning can achieve durable stem cell engraftment, but a minimum CD34(+) cell transduction requirement is necessary for effective therapy. The study highlights the importance of monitoring patients with globin vectors.

Biologic and Clinical Efficacy of LentiGlobin for Sickle Cell Disease

Julie Kanter et al.

Summary: The LentiGlobin gene therapy for sickle cell disease showed promising results, with significant improvements in hemoglobin levels and complete resolution of severe vaso-occlusive events in 35 patients. Adverse events related to treatment were minimal and no cases of hematologic cancer were observed during the follow-up period. Preliminary findings suggest the potential therapeutic efficacy of this treatment.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Case after Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease

Sunita Goyal et al.

Summary: A woman developed acute myeloid leukemia 5.5 years after receiving LentiGlobin therapy for sickle cell disease, but investigation revealed that the leukemia was unlikely related to vector insertion. Other genetic mutations and inadequate disease control after treatment may contribute to the development of leukemia in sickle cell disease patients.

Do Genetic Polymorphisms Affect Fetal Hemoglobin (HbF) Levels in Patients With Sickle Cell Anemia Treated With Hydroxyurea? A Systematic Review and Pathway Analysis

Rahyssa Rodrigues Sales et al.

Summary: Hydroxyurea is commonly used for the treatment of sickle cell anemia (SCA), but there is variability in patient response. This systematic review explores the impact of genetic polymorphisms on HbF levels in SCA patients treated with hydroxyurea, and identifies SNPs and genes associated with HbF changes. The findings suggest that changes in HbF levels upon hydroxyurea therapy are likely regulated by multiple loci.

Targeting fetal hemoglobin expression to treat beta hemoglobinopathies

Martin H. Steinberg

Summary: This article examines the pathophysiology of beta hemoglobinopathies, the physiology of HbF, intracellular distribution, and the regulation of HbF expression. Inducing high levels of HbF by targeting its regulatory pathways pharmacologically or with cell-based therapeutics provides major clinical benefit and perhaps a 'cure.'

Globin vector regulatory elements are active in early hematopoietic progenitor cells

Annalisa Cabriolu et al.

Summary: The globin genes are activated in the late-stage erythroblasts during erythroid differentiation and lentiviral vectors incorporating beta-globin locus control region (LCR) elements have been successfully used for genetic treatment of the beta-thalassemias and sickle cell disease. However, recent cases of benign clonal expansions and myelodysplastic syndrome raise concerns about non-erythroid functions of these vectors. This study shows that lentivirally encoded LCR elements can be activated in early hematopoietic cells, and the use of an insulator can restrain this non-erythroid activity without affecting therapeutic globin expression.

High-level correction of the sickle mutation is amplified in vivo during erythroid differentiation

Wendy Magis et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential for gene correction of sickle cell disease by optimizing the use of Cas9 ribonucleoprotein and ssDNA oligonucleotide donor in autologous hematopoietic stem cells. The findings suggest a promising approach for clinical translation.
