This invention provides a high-recovery heme iron extraction method and apparatus using enzymatic hydrolysis-multi-stage centrifugal coupling, relating to the fields of biopharmaceuticals and fluid dynamics processing technology. The method first constructs a polyanionic electrolyte shielding system, utilizing electrostatic potential energy to induce conformational instability of globin and pre-exposure of hydrophobic cavities, reducing binding energy at the molecular level and solving the problem of heme's encapsulation resistance in high-concentration systems. Then, high-shear coupled enzymatic hydrolysis is performed within a micron-sized liquid film generated by a hypergravity field, utilizing the instantaneous synergy of mechanical shear stress and enzymatic degradation to achieve directional exfoliation of heme, eliminating secondary re-adhesion effects. Finally, directional phase transition regulation is performed based on density gradient drive, and a high-frequency pulsed pressure field is introduced for in-situ exchange washing, distinguishing and retaining impurities and crystal cores, outputting a high-purity, flavor-neutral heme iron product. This invention effectively improves the controllability of the extraction process and the stability of industrial continuous production.

Here, the inventors developed a strategy to modify the chromatin status of HSPCs at the HBG promoters to reactivate HbF expression. In particular, the inventors used from 1 to 4 single guide RNA (sgRNA) molecules spanning from the -220 to the -20 region of the HBG promoters together with CRISPR-based epigenome editors, namely dCas9-CBPcore and Tet1-dCas9. The first editor is capable of inserting histone acetylation while the second editor is performing DNA demethylation. Both epigenetic marks are associated with active transcription and are present in fetal erythroid cells expressing HbF. This strategy allows the ex vivo modification of adult HSCs to recreate a fetal-like epigenetic context leading to HbF production. Moreover, it avoids the genotoxicity associated with classical genome editing tools relying on DNA cleavage. Thus, the present invention relates to a method of increasing the expression of gamma globin in a population of eukaryotic cells through epigenome editing.

Enhancing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production through targeted promoter editing using base editing technologies. An embodiment includes a composition for enhancing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression in mammalian cells, the composition comprising a base editing system comprising at least two guide RNAs comprising targeting sequences selected from SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO: 5.

The clinical history of β-hemoglobinopathies shows that the severity is mitigated by the reduction of α-globin expression, resulting from co-inheritance of α-thalassemia. The inventors identified several mutations (T>C or A>G) that can disrupt binding motifs of transcription factors using CBE- and ABE-mediated base-editing approaches. In particular, the inventors designed gRNAs that, when combined with CBEs or ABEs, disrupt binding sites for transcriptional activators (GATA1 and NF-E2) in the MCS-R2 and recapitulate the beneficial α-globin reduction observed in patients presenting both β-hemoglobinopathies and α-thalassemia. Accordingly, the present invention relates to base editing approaches for the treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies.
