Figure 1. BCL-XL significantly enhances OS-mediated reprogramming of cord blood and peripheral blood cells with lentiviral vectors.

Figure 1

(A) Differential effects of BCL2 family members on enhancing OS-mediated reprogramming of CB cells. CB CD34+ cells were cultured for 2 days before lentiviral transduction. CB iPSC colonies were enumerated at 2 weeks after transduction of reprogramming factors. Data shown are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 4). OS: OCT4 and SOX2. * indicates P<0.05. (B) Differential effects of BCL2 family members on enhancing OS-mediated reprogramming of PBMNCs. PBMNCs were cultured for 4–6 days before lentiviral transduction. PB iPSC colonies were enumerated at 3 weeks after transduction of reprogramming factors. Data shown are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 4). OS: OCT4 and SOX2. PBMNCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells. * indicates P<0.05. BCL2 and BCL-XL significantly increased reprogramming of both CB CD34+ cells and PBMNCs.
