Involvement of PU1 Upregulation in the Myeloid Bias of Flt3ITD/ITD Mice

(A–C) Representative FACS analysis of PU1-YFP expression in lineage-negative (A), LSKCD48+150 MPPs (B), and LinCD19CD24AA4.1+CD43midB220+ pre-pro-B (C) cells in BM of 2- to 3-month-old Flt3+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITD mice. Also shown is the mean fold difference in PU1-YFP expression for each population from six mice of each genotype.

(D) GSEA demonstrating upregulation of Pu1 target genes in LSKCD48+150 MPPs from Flt3ITD/ITD versus Flt3+/+ mice (n = 4 of each genotype).

(E) Percentage of B220+CD19+ in the BM of 6- to 8-week-old Flt3+/+Pu1+/+, Flt3+/+Pu1+/−, Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/+, and Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/− mice (n = 8–11 mice of each genotype; fold difference and p value are for the difference between Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/− mice).

(F) Percentage of pre-pro-B cells in the BM of 6- to 8-week-old Flt3+/+Pu1+/+, Flt3+/+Pu1+/−, Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/− mice (n = 3 mice of each genotype).

(G) Percentage of pro-B cells in the BM of 6- to 8-week-old Flt3+/+Pu1+/+, Flt3+/+Pu1+/−, Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/− mice (n = 3 mice of each genotype).

(H) Percentage of LSKCD48+150 MPPs in the BM of 6- to 8-week-old Flt3+/+Pu1+/+, Flt3+/+Pu1+/−, Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/− mice (n = 7–9 mice of each genotype).

(I) Percentage of Mac1lowcKitlow myeloid precursor cells in the BM of 6- to 8-week-old Flt3+/+Pu1+/+, Flt3+/+Pu1+/−, Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITDPu1+/− mice (n = 7–9 mice of each genotype).

(J) GSEA demonstrating upregulation of STAT3 target genes in Flt3ITD/ITD versus Flt3+/+ LSKCD48+150 MPPs (n = 4 mice of each genotype).

(K and L) Expression of Stat3 target genes in Flt3+/+ and Flt3ITD/ITD LSKCD48+150 MPPs (K) and pre-pro-B cells (L) (n = 2–4 mice of each genotype, 2–3 replicates per mouse). ND, not detected.
