TEL-AML1 induces phosphorylation of STAT3. (A) Western blot analysis of p-S727 and p-Y705 STAT3 and total STAT3 in mouse c-kit+Ter119- fetal liver HPC, 72 hours after transduction with murine stem cell virus TEL-AML1 expressing (T/A) or empty (MSCV CD2) retroviral vectors. Numbers represent densitometric quantitation of phospho-STAT3 bands normalized to total STAT3. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of p-Y705 STAT3 in Reh 6 days after transduction with control scramble (mean fluorescence intensity [MFI] = 21.04) or shTA shRNA (MFI = 12.01) shRNA. Isotype control staining (MFI = 10.23) is also shown. All data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
