hematopoietic system
• bone marrow cellularity is reduced in mice after cre induction
|
• the frequency of Lin- c-Kit+Sca-1- hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the bone marrow after cre induction is much lower than controls
• the frequency of Lin- c-Kit+Sca-1+ HSC in the bone marrow after cre induction is much higher than controls
• 68% of actively cycling HSCs are apoptotic after cre induction versus 3-13% in control mice
• the bone marrow has many fewer Lin- c-Kit+Sca-1+CD34lo HSC cells
