Thpo deficiency broadly impairs organelle function and turnover. (A-C) Principal component analysis of RNA sequence on Thpo+/+ (wt), Thpo−/− (ko), Thpo+/+ Ro (wtr), and Thpo−/− Ro (kor) HSCs. Heat map analysis (B) and Venn diagram (C) for differentially expressed genes in Thpo+/+ (wt), Thpo−/− (ko), Thpo+/+ Ro (wtr), and Thpo−/− Ro (kor) HSCs. (D) Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) analysis of HSC- and progenitor-related gene sets in Thpo+/+ and Thpo−/− HSCs. (E) GSEA analysis for enrichment in HSC-related gene set for Thpo−/− and REST (Thpo+/+, Thpo+/+ Ro, and Thpo−/− Ro HSCs). (F) GSEA analysis of apoptosis-related gene set for Thpo+/+, Thpo−/−, and REST HSCs. (G) Table and GSEA plots showing enrichment in ribosome-associated gene sets upregulated in REST compared with Thpo−/− HSCs. (H) Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of OPP incorporation in Thpo+/+, Thpo−/−, and Thpo−/− Ro HSCs (n = 5). (I) Analysis of autophagy-related gene set enrichment in Thpo−/− and REST HSCs. (J) Representative plots and MFI of Cyto-ID staining in Thpo+/+, Thpofl/fl;AlbCre+/−, and Thpo−/− HSCs (n = 5). (K) Representative plot and MFI of Cyto-ID staining in Thpo−/− and Thpo−/− Ro HSCs (n = 5). *P < .05, **P < .01, Student t test. FDR, false discovery rate; NOM, nominal; p-val, P value; q-val, q value.
