Mutations in human Krǖppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) have recently been reported to be responsible for increased fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and hemoglobin A2 (HbA2).As increased HbF and HbA2 levels are important features of β-thalassemia, we examined whether there is any relationship between KLF1 mutation and β-thalassemia in China.For this, we first studied the incidence of KLF1 mutations in two Chinese populations: 3839 individuals from a thalassemia endemic region in south Chinaand1190 individuals from a non-thalassemia endemic region in north China.Interestingly we found that the prevalence of KLF1 mutations is significantly higher in thalassemia endemic region than that in non-thalassemia endemic region (1.25% versus 0.08%).

Piwi-like2 (piwil2)基因在肿瘤中广泛表达,具有抵抗外界刺激介导的细胞凋亡的功能.但迄今为止对Piwil2在Fas介导的凋亡过程中的作用尚不清楚.我们的研究首次证实Piwil2能抑制Fas介导的凋亡进程.通过细菌双杂交筛选,我们鉴定出一个新的Piwil2作用蛋白Keratin8 (K8).研究结果显示,Piwi12能通过其PIWI结构域与K8和p38形成蛋白复合物,进而增加K8 S
