Here we confirm an essential requirement for the BCL11A transcription factor in fetal pDC development, and for the first time demonstrate this lineage specific requirement in the adult organism. Genome-wide analyses of BCL11A DNA binding and expression revealed that BCL11A regulates transcription of...

Differences in the amount of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) that persists into adulthood affect the severity of sickle cell disease and the beta-thalassemia syndromes. Genetic association studies have identified sequence variants in the gene BCL11A that influence HbF levels. Here we examine BCL11A as a pote...

BCL11A is a critical mediator of hemoglobin switching and gamma-globin silencing. In this study, we showed the BCL11A is required in vivo for developmental silencing of gamma-globin genes in adult animals. We used microarray to determine the changes in gene expression profile after loss of BCL11A in...

Bcl11a is a transcription factor known to regulate lymphoid and erythroid development. Recent bioinformatic analysis of global gene expression patterns has suggested a role for Bcl11a in the development of dendritic cell (DC) lineages. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing the development of DC and...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognostic outcome compared to other types of breast cancer1. At present the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying TNBC pathology are not well understood1. Here we report that the transcription factor BCL11A is overexpressed in TNBC including b...

BCL11A is upregulated in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) but not in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). BCL11A interacts with SOX2 at protein level. ChIP-Seq experiment was performed for BCL11A and SOX2 in LUSC LK-2 control or BCL11A-KD cell line in order to identify their role in LUSC pathology.

Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin expression by down-regulation of BCL11A is a promising treatment of -hemoglobinopathies. A detailed understanding of BCL11A-mediated repression of -globin gene (HBG1/2) transcription is lacking, as studies to date used perturbations by shRNA or CRISPR/Cas9 gene editi...

We have recently identified BCL11A as a key regulator of mammary stem (MaSC) and progenitor cells. Deletion of BCL11A in MaSC leads to loss of ability of those cells to engraft a cleared mammary fatpad. This biological function of BCL11A correlates with its overexpression in basal breast cancers whi...

The plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) is vital to the coordinated action of innate and adaptive immunity. pDC development has not been unequivocally traced, nor has its transcriptional regulatory network been fully clarified. Here we confirm an essential requirement for the BCL11A transcription fact...
