Elevated expression of STAT3β prolongs survival in an AML mouse model based on Pten deletion. (A) Kaplan-Meier plot showing the significantly different survival (P = .0034) of PtenΔ/Δ (n = 16) and PtenΔ/ΔStat3βTG (n = 11) mice, with PtenΔ/+ (n = 9) and PtenΔ/+ Stat3βTG (n = 11) as controls. (B) Percentages of myeloid (CD11b+Gr1+) and LSK cells in the BM and spleen of control, PtenΔ/Δ, and PtenΔ/ΔStat3βTG mice at 10, 20, and 30 days postinduction (n = 5 per group). Data (PtenΔ/+ vs PtenΔ/Δ vs PtenΔ/ΔStat3βTG for each time point) were compared using 1-way analysis of variance. (C) H&E-stained liver and spleen sections of PtenΔ/Δ, PtenΔ/ΔStat3βTG, and control mice at day 20 postinduction. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.
