Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine hypoxia induces the expression of TGF-beta1 and mitoferrin mRNAs through separate mechanisms in erythroid cells. TGF-beta1 subsequently induces erythroidspecific 5-aminolevulinate synthase ALAS2 expression Homo sapiens

Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Homo sapiens increased expression of erythroid specific 5-aminolevulinate synthase ALAS2 and gamma-globin mRNAs after 48 h of hypoxia. Exogenous TGF-beta1 induces hemoglobinization and the expression of ALAS2 mRNA in YN-1-0-A cells, but not of c-globin and mitoferrin mRNAs. A specific inhibitor of intracellular TGF-b signaling markedly reduces the degree of the hypoxia-mediated increase in the expression of ALAS2 mRNA in YN-1-0-A cells up
