The purpose of this study is to initiate pilot studies to demonstrate that a sufficient number of iron-overloaded thalassemia, SCD and DBA populations with similar duration of chronic transfusion, and age at start of transfusions would be available for a confirmatory study and to validate that proposed multicenter MRI and biochemical studies can be completed. The study will examine the hypothesis that a chronic inflammatory state in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) leads to hepcidin- and cytokine-mediated iron withholding within the RES (reticuloendothelial system), lower plasma NTBI (non transferrin bound iron) levels, less distribution of iron to the heart in SCD.

Inclusion Criteria: - 10-20 years of transfusion (defined as 0.2-0.6mg Fe/kg/day exposure with annual ferritin levels greater than 2500 in at least 60% of years of chronic transfusion); - 0 to 9 years old at the initiation of chronic transfusions; no exchange transfusions in the previous 6 months - iron overload documented by either liver biopsy, MRI or SQUID with estimated LIC of greater than 7 mg/g dry wt in the previous 6 months or ferritin level greater than 1500mg/dl. Exclusion Criteria: - Patients with HbSC, HbS/ß thalassemia - Pacemaker (active or inactive) or other implanted magnetic devices, severe claustrophobia, or other contraindications to MRI; Unable to remove ferro-magnetic objects from the body in regions to be imaged (e.g., jewelry or piercing) - Presence of any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the patient unsuitable for enrollment; - Any chronic inflammatory illness other than the SCD, TM or DBA; - Any acute illness within a 14 day period prior to blood sampling; - Patients receiving intensive chelation in the 6 months prior to enrollment including deferoxamine 24 hours per day, 7 days per week or combination treatment with 2 chelators - Pregnancy |

Primary | Pilot study of biochemical mechanisms of iron deposition in patients with Sickle Cell Disease, Thalassemia and Diamond-Blackfan Anemia. | To examine the hypothesis that a chronic inflammatory state in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) leads to hepcidin- and cytokine-mediated iron withholding within the RES (reticuloendothelial system), lower plasma NTBI (non transferrin bound iron) levels, less distribution of iron to the heart in SCD, and finally lower uptake and enhanced export of NTBI by cardiomyocytes conditioned by SCD serum, when compared with similarly iron overloaded patients with beta thalassemia and diamond blackfan anemia. | March 2010 - August 2012 | |
Secondary | Comparison of cardiac and pituitary iron content by MRI | We will measure cardiac and pituitary iron deposition by MRI in SCD with 10-20 years of transfusion exposure (0.2-0.6 mg Fe/kg/day) and compare this to measurements in a similarly transfused group of TM (or DBA). Patients with similar duration of chronic transfusion and age at onset of chronic transfusion therapy will be compared. | March 2010 - August 2012 | |
Secondary | Characterization of levels and speciation of NTBI in heavily transfused SCD vs. TM (or DBA) | Levels of total and speciated NTBI (directly chelatable, labile plasma (LPI) and bleomycin-reactive) will be correlated with inflammatory biomarkers, hepcidin levels and organ iron deposition in patients with SCD, TM (or DBA). Results from the 3 patient populations will be compared to determine the possible effect of ineffective erythropoiesis in TM on the amount or species of NTBI present in the circulation. | March 2010 - August 2012 | |
Secondary | To examine mediators of iron trafficking including inflammatory and regulatory cytokines (TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TGF ß), hepcidin, and nutritional factors (Vitamin C and D) in heavily transfused patients with SCD and TM (or DBA) | To examine the hypothesis that disease-related differences in inflammatory markers, hepcidin, and nutritional factors affect NTBI deposition, we will define the relationships between plasma and monocyte cytokines known to have cellular effects on iron cell trafficking (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNFalpha, and TGFbeta), hepcidin concentration, and nutrient factors on NTBI levels and characteristics. | March 2010 - August 2012 | |
Secondary | To examine the cellular mechanisms of iron sequestration in the RES and uptake of iron into other iron storage sites in SCD relative to TM (or DBA) | We will examine iron homeostasis in primary monocytes obtained from the 4 study groups to ascertain whether there is increased iron accumulation in monocytes in SCD patients. We will determine total cellular iron and ferritin-bound iron in monocytes isolated from the blood of SCD, TM and DBA patients. | March 2010 - August 2012 |
