Regulation of K+-Cl cotransport in HbS cells. During occlusive crises, PGIF are produced from ischemic non-erythroid tissues and taken up by RTC where it could increase KCC1 expression and overcome the potential inhibitory effect of low pO2i on K+-Cl cotransport. Abbreviations: HbS, hemoglobin S; HIF, hypoxia-induced factor; PIGF, placental growth factor
