Currently, Hydroxyurea (HU) is the only FDA-approved pharmacologic treatment for induction of HbF in patients with SCD. R. Di Maggio, M.M. Subsequent research provides some evidence that the effect of HU on HbF level could act on other HbF-promoting loci like BCL11A [26]. Protective role of hemoglobin and fetal hemoglobin in early kidney disease for children with sickle cell anemia. Br J Haematol. These include reducing the polymerisation of sickled RBC and endothelial activation state [74]. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and NO have been shown to mediate the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK [102,103], whose association with HbF production was discussed above. Sickle cell disease subphenotypes in patients from Southwestern Province of Saudi Arabia. hHPFH) is characterized by a persistent high level of foetal haemoglobin in adults [32] and a genome-wide SNP scan of 10 members of a Maltese family with hHPFH revealed a nonsense mutation in the KLF-1 gene, a critical activator of BCL11A [32].

Recently, a study demonstrated significant HU-induced miRNAs expression in SCD patients and associated with HbF at both baseline (miR-494) and maximum dose tolerated (miR-26b and miR-1513p). 2017;67:1418. Adekile AD. Elimination of hydroxyurea is mainly through urine after being metabolised in the liver [1, 20, 21]. However, some HbF remains to be heterogeneously transcribed with variable expression levels across HbF red blood cells (F cells) [32]. In vivo production of nitric oxide in rats after administration of hydroxyurea. 2016;1368:1624. Saalu LC, Jewo PI, Yama OE, Oguntola JA. Elion J, Berg PE, Lapoumeroulie C, et al. The compound heterozygous state of -thalassaemia and E mutation is known as HbE -thalassaemia. However, the precise molecular mode of action of HU, though these genetic variants, remained to be comprehensively determined. Although it affects all haematological cell lineages, neutrophils are most commonly affected, resulting in mild to moderate neutropenia. Nevitt, A.P. The Bantu haplotype being the less favourable and the Indian-Arab haplotype associated to the least severity; as the latter is associated with higher HbF levels [33], due to a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) upstream of the -globin gene (rs7482144 or Xmn-G), characteristically present in Indian Arab and Senegal haplotypes [34]. -Globin is the predominant type of -like globin expressed during fetal life which is gradually suppressed after birth to minimal levels by the end of the first year of life. Gonalves, Pattern of hemolysis parameters and association with fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell anemia patients in steady state, Brazillian J. Hematol. Some studies have demonstrated a decrease in nucleated RBCs, while others have shown a reduction in soluble transferrin receptor levels, both of which are indirect indicators of ineffective erythropoiesis [28, 29]. 2019 (2019). HU has also been associated with clinical drift, where physicians use the drug for related complications of SCD such as stroke prevention, priapism and pulmonary hypertension [49]. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help 2014;124:114656. The characteristic increase in the F-reticulocyte count, followed by a more gradual increase in fetal hemoglobin, with the administration of hydroxyurea is clearly seen in the data on the three . The risks and benefits of long-term use of hydroxyurea in sickle cell anemia: A 17.5 year follow-up. As consequences, HU is still underutilized [40,61], despite the studies that have reported on the overall drug safety [67] and limited evidence regarding potential HU-induced leukemogenic [68] or teratogenic effects [69]. Blood transfusion therapy for -thalassemia major and hemoglobin E -thalassemia: Adequacy, trends, and determinants in Sri Lanka. 2019 Aug;16(4):897-902. doi: 10.1111/iwj.13115.

Vasomotor activity of diadenosine triphosphate and diadenosine tetraphosphate in isolated arteries. The level of S phase erythroid progenitors was similar for all three groups and BFU-E colony growth was inhibited 92-94% for all samples in a dose-dependent manner. Hydroxyurea exerts a bi-modal effect on erythropoiesis in a dose-dependent manner by downregulating the expression of GATA1 and upregulating GATA2. Similarly, there is no convincing data that hydroxyurea is teratogenic. Although sparse and in the majority unsupported, some studies have demonstrated recovery of spermatogenesis, normal counts and motility after the cessation of HU treatment [58]. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2010-04-282095.

Research on post-transcriptional mechanisms could lead to therapeutic targets that may minimize alterations to the cellular transcriptome. Br J Haematol. 8 (2017) 185191. Transfusion dependent (TD) -thalassaemia is the most severe forms of -thalassaemia, which encompasses -thalassemia major and severe haemoglobin E -thalassaemia [89]. The field of post-transcriptional regulation of HbF has made a recent surge to scientific interest as a potential level along the pathway to -globin expression for therapeutic targets. The treatment also reduces white blood cell levels that can encourage inflammation in sickle cell patients. Kosaryan M, Karami H, Zafari M, Yaghobi N. Report on patients with non transfusion-dependent -thalassemia major being treated with hydroxyurea attending the Thalassemia Research Center, Sari, Mazandaran Province, Islamic Republic of Iran in 2013. Importantly, p55 levels were increased both in vivo and in vitro following exposure to hydroxyurea [54, 55, 57]. Furthermore, there has been great progress made towards understanding the various mechanisms by which HU induces HbF production through identifying key genomic variants that predispose the response to the treatment, various environmental contributors as well as specific signal transduction pathways that modulate -globin expression. Through its actions of reversible inhibition of rNDP enzyme and fetal haemoglobin induction, it exerts many favourable effects on haemoglobin content, RBC indices, ineffective erythropoiesis and blood rheology in patients with -haemoglobinopathies. HU treatment is known to improve blood flow through reperfusion and decreased sickling; however the reasons for the improved circulation are not completely understood. Another trial performed on patients with sickle -thalassaemia showed improvement in haemoglobin, MCV and RBC morphology following hydroxyurea treatment [72]. Blood. 2019;380:12131. Fetal hemoglobin induction by histone deacetylase inhibitors involves generation of reactive oxygen species. Platt OS, Brambilla DJ, Rosse WF, et al. Oyeku SO, Driscoll MC, Cohen HW, et al.

Bradykinin and ATP stimulate L-arginine uptake and nitric oxide release in vascular endothelial cells. These data advocate for further investigation of the cAMP pathway and identification of the cAMP-switch during erythropoiesis as a potential therapeutic target for cAMP-mediated HbF induction in erythroblasts. The study has provided some specific perspectives in future research, specifically on post-transcriptional regulations by microRNAs that could lead to possible therapeutic targets that minimize alterations to the cellular transcriptome. The levels of both proteins are high in SCD due to increased haemolysis [59, 60] [61]. Zhu J, Chin K, Aerbajinai W, Kumkhaek C, Li H, Rodgers GP. DNA damage in blood leukocytes of individuals with sickle cell disease treated with hydroxyurea. Mediterr J Hematol Infect Dis. 2022 Jun 10;12(6):815. doi: 10.3390/biom12060815. Gambero S, Canalli AA, Traina F, Albuquerque DM, Saad STO, Costa FF, Conran N. Therapy with hydroxyurea is associated with reduced adhesion molecule gene and protein expression in sickle red cells with a concomitant reduction in adhesive properties. Therefore, the action of hydroxyurea in reducing haemolysis and improving erythropoietic activity in the bone marrow is compatible with the findings of high levels of hemopexin and haptoglobin after treatment. Cerebrovascular accidents in sickle cell disease: rates and risk factors. Long term studies such as the Hydroxyurea Study of Long-Term Effects (HUSTLE), Hydroxyurea Safety and Organ Toxicity (HUSOFT) together with BABY HUG follow-up studies continue to reveal more pharmacogenetics data to help define long term risk of early-initiation of HU, potential adverse effects and persistence of response. The present study represents, to our knowledge, the first systematic review on known molecular mechanism of action of hydroxyurea-induced HbF in SCD, the only medication available for this condition of global importance. These genes had high expression before initiating hydroxyurea treatment in responders, suggesting a possibility of applying them as predictive markers of response [68]. The resulting haemoglobin S (HbS) leads to polymerization and precipitation of haemoglobin during deoxygenation or dehydration resulting in sickling, abnormal adhesion of leukocytes and platelets, inflammation, hypercoagulation, haemolysis and hypoxia, in addition to microvascular obstruction and ultimately organ damage [1]. In recent times, there has been a shift in the search for therapeutic targets toward the post-transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms that regulate HbF production as a way of minimizing alterations to the global transcriptional system through stress. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1440-1681.2007.04861.x.

In this review, we aim to explore the available in vitro and in vivo mechanistic data and the clinical utility of hydroxyurea in -haemoglobinopathies with a special emphasis on its usefulness during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2016;128:48384838. 2001;98:184752. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Chi, The genomic analysis of erythrocyte microRNA expression in sickle cell diseases, PLoS One. Your US state privacy rights, 2017;102:e804. This finding emphasises another clinical advantage of hydroxyurea as adhesion of erythrocyte is the main underlying cause for complications associated with SCD. Munugalavadla V, Dore LC, Tan BL, et al. Phlebotomy and Hydroxyurea for Non-Transfusion Dependent Iron Overload in Beta-Thalassemia Intermedia. Quantitative proteomics analysis in a cohort of patients with -thalassaemia following treatment with hydroxyurea revealed that 28 proteins were differentially expressed after hydroxyurea treatment. The HbF levels were increased in BFU-E colonies from HbSS patients (control, 4.0% +/- 1.15% vs. +HU, 22.67% +/- 2.03%) whereas HbF levels were decreased in BFU-E colonies derived from umbilical cord samples (control, 80% +/- 9.07% vs. +HU, 35.7% +/- 4.81%) or HbS-HPFH patients (control, 49.67% +/- 3.84% vs. +HU, 23.3% +/- 0.88%). The transcriptomic studies on reticulocytes in patients with SCD demonstrated downregulation of low-affinity adhesion molecules after hydroxyurea therapy [54, 56, 62]. Overview on practices in thalassemia intermedia management aiming for lowering complication rates across a region of endemicity: the OPTIMAL CARE study. Kuroyanagi Y, Kaneko Y, Muta K, et al. While the majority of HU benefit on SCD is directly related to the amount of HbF produced, it is also suspected that HU have some disease modulating effects outside of HbF induction, such as stress haematopoiesis, endothelial nitric oxide release or the reduction of leucocytes counts; this paper did not explored those mechanisms. Ann Hematol. The role of miRNAs in haematopoiesis, specifically erythropoiesis and erythrocyte physiology has also been previously reviewed [127]. Moreira LS, De Andrade TG, Albuquerque DM, Cunha AF, Fattori A, Saad STO, Costa FF. Thereby it has shown to improve haemoglobin level, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) in patients with -haemoglobinopathies [23,24,25,26,27]. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved it for the treatment of adults with severe sickle cell disease. In summary, the differential response to hydroxyurea treatment observed in patients with haemoglobinopathies is likely to be due to the cumulative effects of these models. Additionally, the beneficial effects of hydroxyurea in ineffective erythropoiesis were further demonstrated by the reduction of transferrin receptor protein-1 observed in this study. The differences in protein expression in patients with SCD compared to healthy individuals and the influence of hydroxyurea on proteomics were uncovered in several studies [52,53,54,55,56,57]. Bhatia, A biophysical indicator of vaso-occlusive risk in sickle cell disease, Sci. 3 (2008). Hankins JS, Ware RE, Rogers ZR, et al. 7 (2014). Among several agents that lead to pharmacologic induction of HbF in patients with SCA, hydroxyurea has emerged as an exciting therapeutic agent because of its ease of oral administration, modest toxicity profile, predictable laboratory efficacy for increasing percentage HbF and reducing hemolysis, and proven clinical efficacy for preventing acute vaso-occlusive events. NY performed the literature search. Nahavandi M, Wyche MQ, Perlin E, Tavakkoli F, Castro O. Nitric Oxide Metabolites in Sickle Cell Anemia Patients after Oral Administration of Hydroxyurea; Hemoglobinopathy. The pandemic primarily affected the availability and delivery of blood for patients who were transfusion dependent. A meta-analysis of eleven observational studies involving 859 patients with TD -thalassaemia major concluded that hydroxyurea achieved a complete and partial response rate of 26% and 60% respectively [89].

Haemorheology is the study of flow and biophysical properties of blood which is predominantly determined by the size of blood vessels and the viscosity of blood. The principal rationale for treatment with hydroxyurea is its ability to induce HbF (Letvin et al, 1984).However, hydroxyurea appears to exert its beneficial effects in SCD via a number of additional mechanisms, including modification of red cell-endothelial cell interactions and the rheological properties of HbS-containing red cells and via its myelosuppressive effects, particularly on .
