hematopoietic system
N |
• modified IDH2 expression induced by doxycycline in chow starting around 3 weeks
• peripheral blood cell counts, number of hematopoietic stem cells, myeloid progenitors, mature B and T lymphocytes, and myeloid cells all normal when examined 8 weeks after induction
|
• KSL cells collected and plated out 8 weeks after induction display severely reduced erythroid colony formation but myeloid colony numbers are normal
• differentiation blockade is removed when doxycycline is removed from the culture medium
|
• by 7 months KSL cells are increased in bone marrow relative to controls
• long-term hematopoietic stem cells also tend to expand in number
|
• about 1.3X larger than control spleens
|
• significant extramedullary hematopoiesis
|
neoplasm
• infection of KSL cells with retrovirus containing HoxA9 and Meis1 and then injected into sub-lethally irradiated mice results in a pre-leukemic cell expansion
