Knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms that favor self-renewal divisions or a lineage
determination process is central to the design of strategies to expand HSCs for the purpose
of cell therapy. In addition, transcriptome and phosphoproteome analyses of erythroblasts in
polycythemia vera identified lower SCL expression and hypophosphorylated KIT,
suggesting that the KIT–SCL loop is relevant to the pathophysiology of human blood
disorders as well.
