Fig. 3. Deletion of Phf6 decreased LSC number and impaired LSC self-renewal.
A The absolute number of L-GMPs (GFP+CD34+CD16/32+) in BM of VC Phf6,RE9a and WT Phf6,RE9a AML mice. B. The percentage of L-GMPs in spleen of VC Phf6,RE9a and WT Phf6,RE9a AML mice. C Deletion of Phf6 decreased the self-renewal capacity of RE9a-expressing fetal liver cells in serial replanting assays. D The number of colonies generated from 3000 RE9a-expressing cells in third and fourth plating. E Kaplan–Meier survival curves of VC Phf6,RE9a and WT Phf6,RE9a mice in different dilutions of leukemia cells assay (log-rank test p < 0.05, n = 6 per group). F Loss of Phf6 significantly decreases the frequency of leukemia stem cells in the limiting dilution assay. The log-fraction plot (left panel) showed the results of the limiting dilution assay by using different dilutions of leukemia cells from VC Phf6,RE9a and WT Phf6,RE9a in vivo (right panel). Data are represented as mean ± SD.
