Abstract: Methods of alleviating the symptoms of hemoglobinopathies, including, but not limited to, sickle cell disease, ?-thalassemia, and hemoglobin H disease are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering an inhibitor selected from an ERK inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor, and, a Raf inhibitor. Methods of inhibiting adhesion of sickle red blood cells to endothelial cells are also provided.

Abstract: Methods of alleviating the symptoms of hemoglobinopathies, including, but not limited to, sickle cell disease, ?-thalassemia, and hemoglobin H disease are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering an inhibitor selected from a ?-arrestin1/2 inhibitor and/or a GRK2 inhibitor to the subject. Methods of inhibiting adhesion of sickle red blood cells to endothelial cells and adhesion to and activation of leukocytes are also provided.

Abstract: Methods of alleviating the symptoms of hemoglobinopathies, including, but not limited to, sickle cell disease, ?-thalassemia, and hemoglobin H disease are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering an agent to the subject if the subject has increased expression or activation of at least one of ERK, Ras, BRAF, Raf1 MEK, ?-arrest1/2, Syk, P60-c-Src, or GRK2. Methods of determining the likelihood of a complication or vascular endothelial injury and mortality resulting from a hemoglobinopathy in a subject are also provided.
