ΔdblGATA mice have reduced numbers of HSCs and myeloid cell progenitors. (A) Flow cytometry plots showing frequencies of CD11b+ and CD11c+ cells among CD45+ PBMCs in naïve WT and ΔdblGATA mice. (B) Frequencies of CD11b+, CD11c+, CD19+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells among CD45+ PBMCs. N = 4 to 13 per group. (C) Frequencies of Ly6ChiLy6Glo/− monocytes among CD11b+ PBMCs. N = 19 to 22 per group. (D-I) Quantification of hematopoietic progenitors in the BM of WT and ΔdblGATA mice. N = 5 to 8 per group, compiled from 2 independent experiments. (D) Flow cytometry plots depicting the expression of CD117 and CD34 among lineage negative cells (Lin−; CD3−B220−CD11b−TER119−Gr-1−). (E) Frequencies of CD117+Sca1− cells among Lin− cells. (F) Frequencies of MP populations among Lin− cells. Full gating and population definitions can be found in the supplemental Figure 3. (G) Frequencies of CD117+Sca1+ cells among Lin− cells. (H) Frequencies of long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) among Lin−CD117+Sca1+ (KSL) cells. (I) Number of LT-HSCs and short-term HSCs/multipotent progenitors per mouse. Significance was determined by a 2-tailed unpaired t test. Error bars are SEM. CMP, common myeloid progenitor; GMP, granulocyte-myeloid progenitor; GP, granulocyte progenitor; MDP, monocyte-dendritic cell progenitor; cMoP, common monocyte progenitor.
