Figure 3. Disruption of RBP-J modulated the CXCR4 expression and the mobilization of EPC.

Figure 3

Mice with different genotypes were induced to disrupt RBP-J, and BM and the peripheral blood (PB) cells were analyzed by FACS. (A, B) The expression of CXCR4 on CD133+Flk-1+ EPCs in BM (A) and PB (B) of the RBP-J deficient and the control mice was analyzed by FACS. (C, D) FACS analyses shown in (A) and (B) were repeated, and MFI of the CXCR4 expression was analyzed statistically (bars = mean±SD; n = 5; * P<0.05). (E, F) The number of CD133+Flk-1+ EPCs in BM (E) and PB (F) of the RBP-J deficient and the control mice was determined by cell counting and FACS analysis (bars = mean±SD; n = 5; *P<0.05; ** P<0.01).
