Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to methods and uses of modulating fetal hemoglobin expression (HbF) in a hematopoietic progenitor cells via inhibitors of BCL11A expression or activity, such as RNAi and antibodies.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A composition comprising a CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell that comprises a vector encoding a nucleic acid that inhibits BCL11A expression. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid is a BCL11A specific RNA interference agent. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the RNA interference agent comprises one or more of the nucleotide sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:1-6. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the CD 34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell is expanded ex vivo. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the CD 34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell is formulated for injection or infusion. 7. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the CD 34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell is formulated for injection or infusion. 8. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the CD 34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell is formulated for injection or infusion. 9. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell is formulated for injection or infusion. 10. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cell is formulated for injection or infusion. 11. A population of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells, wherein the CD 34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells comprise a vector encoding a nucleic acid that inhibits BCL11A expression. 12. The population of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells of claim 11 , wherein the nucleic acid is a BCL11A specific RNA interference agent. 13. The population of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells of claim 12 , wherein the RNA interference agent comprises one or more of the nucleotide sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:1-6. 14. The population of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells of claim 13 , wherein the CD 34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells are expanded ex vivo.
