Deskripsi

In an imaging-based screen of >3,300 compounds compounds, Soboleva et al identify HDAC inhibitors as mediators of erythroid cell enucleation. They further show that the erythroid-specific cell membrane protein, SPTA1, is downregulated in HDAC inhibited cells and that restoration of SPTA1 expression using CRISPR-activation partially rescues the fragility of cells, improving enucleation efficiency.
