Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Western blotting of Ppil2 in bone marrow Ter119 + , CD11b + , and Gr1 + cells from WT and Jak2 V617F -knockin mice. Hsc70 was used as a loading control. ( B ) Schematic illustration of experimental design where c-Kit + bone marrow cells from WT or Jak2 V617F mice were transduced with control or CRISPR-Ppil2 sgRNA, followed by transplantation into lethally irradiated recipient mice. The recipient mice were examined for hematologic phenotypes 8 weeks after transplant. ( C ) Complete blood count of mice from B . WT+Control: n = 10, Jak2 V617F +Control: n = 7, Jak2 V617F +sgPpil2: n = 7. ( D ) Quantification of spleen weight of mice from B . ( E ) Western blotting of Ppil2 and p53 expression in the bone marrow of indicated mice in B . ( F ) Representative flow cytometric analyses of terminal erythropoiesis using CD44 and forward scatter as markers. Populations I-VI represent proerythroblasts, basophilic erythroblasts, polychromatic erythroblasts, orthochromatic erythroblasts, reticulocytes, and mature RBCs, respectively. ( G and H ) Quantification of different stages of erythroblasts by flow cytometric analyses as F from bone marrow ( G ) and spleen ( H ). ( I ) Quantification of HSPCs by flow cytometric analyses from the bone marrow in mice from B . HPC: lineage negative, c-Kit + hematopoietic progenitor cells. GMP, granulocyte-macrophage progenitor; CMP, common myeloid progenitor; MEP, megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor; LSK, Lin – Sca1 + cKit + cells; LT-HSC, long-term HSC; ST-HSC, short-term HSC; MPP, multipotential progenitor. ( J ) Representative H&E staining of the indicated organs of the indicated mice from B . Scale bars: 100 μm. The comparison among multiple groups was evaluated with 1-way ANOVA ( C , D , I , G , and H ). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, and **** P < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: pLenti-V5-p53 (plasmid 22945), pET15b-p53 (plasmid 24859), lentiCRISPR v2 (plasmid 52961), MAC-STA5A (plasmid 167799) were purchased from Addgene. pGL-4.53 (plasmid E6681) was purchased from Promega. pAX2, pMD2G, Pcl-Eco, HA-Ub, MSCV-IRES-GFP-Stat5 WT; dominant-negative, and constitutively active mutant plasmids, MSCV-IRES-GFP-Jak2 WT, and V617F mutant plasmids were previously reported ( , ). pCMV-Flag-PPIL2, pNL1.1- PPIL2 and mutant promoter plasmids, prokaryotic expression vectors pET15b-His-p53 (1-97), 98-292, 293-393, pGEX6p-3-GST-PPIL2 (1-520), 1-190, and 275-435 were individually cloned.
