Combined in vivo activation of Gli2 and Pi3K/Akt signaling in murine B cells does not initiate a CLL-like phenotype. (a) Cre/loxP strategy for the combined activation of dominant active GLI2 and Pten-deletion-mediated Pi3k/Akt signaling in CD19+ B cells by the generation of CD19cre/+;CLEG2;Ptenfl/fl (PtenΔB; ΔNGli2Bact) mice. (be) Flow cytometry analysis of CD5+/CD19+ cells in PC (b), spleen (c), BM (d) and PB (e) of 8-month-old CD19cre/+ control mice (ctrl), CD19cre/+;Ptenfl/fl (PtenΔB) and CD19cre/+;Ptenfl/fl;CLEG2 (PtenΔB; ΔNGli2Bact) mice. B-cell-specific deletion of Pten increases CD5+/CD19+ cells in all organs analyzed. Simultaneous activation of Gli2 expression reverses this effect in BM and PB. Scatter dot plot with each dot representing an individual mouse. The mean value is indicated as bar, whiskers represent the s.e.m. ns: P>0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.
