Autophagy defects during hematopoietic differentiation in mice.

Model system Target cells Hematopoietic outcomes Rf.
Fip200flox/flox × Tie2-Cre HSCs Myeloproliferation, HSC apoptosis, and severe anemia. [167]
Atg5flox/flox × Vav-Cre Lymphopenia, anemia, accumulation of monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils. [200]
Atg12flox/flox × Mx1-cre Increased apoptosis in HSCs and loss of HSCs. [201]
Atg7flox/flox × Vav-Cre Loss of HSC function, severe myeloproliferation, defective megakaryocyte homeostasis, platelet aggregation, apoptosis in bone marrow, defective HSPC quiescence, and cell cycle arrest. [165, 202, 203]

Atg5flox/flox × CD19-Cre B cells Defective antibody responses in B cells, increased cell death in BM, depletion in B-1 B cells, defective B cell homeostasis, EMH, and anemia. [183, 184, 187]
Atg5flox/− × CD21-Cre Decreased T1 B cells and follicular B-cell numbers, reduced B-1a and B-2 B-cell proportion. [185]

Atg5flox/flox × Gzmb-Cre
Atg7flox/flox × Gzmb-Cre
T cells Pathogen infection, loss of memory T cell function. [197]
Atg7flox/flox × CD4-Cre Loss of iNKT in lymphoid organs, lymphopenia, severely compromised CD8+ memory T cells. [192]
Atg3flox/flox × Lck-Cre Decreased T cell numbers. [195]
Atg5flox/flox × Cre-ERT2 Loss of CD8+ T cells, a severe reduction in lymphoid-specific memory T cells. [198]
Atg5flox/flox × CD4-Cre, Atg7flox/flox × Lck-Cre Significant reduction in iNKT, CD4, and CD8 T cell numbers. [193, 194]
Vps34flox/flox;CD4-Cre Impaired T cell homeostasis and anemia. [189]
Atg7flox/flox;CD4-Cre Progressive anemia perturbed iNKT cell development. [191]
Atg16l1flox/flox;Cd11c-Cre GVHD with increased T cell proliferation. [199]
Atg16l1flox/flox;CD4-Cre Expanded T cell proliferation, impaired innate NK T lymphocyte development. [190]

Atg3flox/flox Ubc;cre-ERT2 NK cells Loss of memory NK cells. [204]
Atg5flox/flox;NKp46-Cre Impairment in NK cell development, reduction in iNKs and mNKs in the spleen and BM. [205]

ATG5flox/flox-Lyz-Cre Macrophages Perturbed lymphoid and myeloid cell homeostasis, altered macrophage differentiation. [206]

Neutrophils and Eosinophils Impaired neutrophil differentiation. [208]
Atg7flox/flox;Lyz2-Cr Eosinophilic inflammation. [209]
Atg7flox/flox;LysM-cre Reduced neutrophil degranulation, increased circulating neutrophil numbers, decreased inflammatory potential of neutrophils. [210]

Atg5flox/flox;CD11c-Cre Dendritic cells Reduced migration of DCs. [211]

Atg7flox/flox;PF4-Cre Megakaryocytes and Platelets Impaired thrombosis, robust bleeding, and platelet aggregation. [212]
