Vegfa expression in ROSlo and ROShi HSC populations. BM cells from Vegfaδ/δ or WT mice were stained with markers to detect LSK CD34 and DCFDA to detect ROS. (A) Representative FACS profiles of LSK gated cells showing gates used for sorting of CD34− ROSlo and CD34− ROShi populations. (B) Percentage LSK CD34− ROSlo and LSK CD34− ROShi cells within LSK gated cells. Bars represent mean ± SD. P values are from t test. (C) Vegfa expression in sorted subpopulations. Each dot represents an individual mouse and connecting lines are between littermate pairs. P values are from paired t test. Results shown are data combined from 2 independent experiments.
