Male mice bearing Gata1S310A alleles die from hemolytic anemia after inhibition of IGF-1R signaling by PPP. (A) Hematopoietic indices of Gata1 (WT/Y) and Gata1S310A (KI/Y) male mice after 20 d of PPP treatment. (HGB) Hemoglobin concentrations (after separating RBCs from plasma); (HCT) hematocrit; (MCV) mean corpuscular volume; (MCHC) mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. (B) Gata1 and Gata1S310A peripheral blood smears on days 10 and 20 of PPP treatment (630×). (C) Electron microscopy of erythrocytes described in B. (Bottom left) Estimation of the percentage of acanthocyte and echinocyte RBCs on day 10. (Bottom right) Enlarged echinocyte Gata1S310A RBC. Bar, 5 μm. (D) Centrifuged microhematocrit capillaries. (E) Spectroscopic analysis of hemoglobin in the plasma. (F) Manual quantification of hemoglobin of washed RBCs and serum in Gata1 and Gata1S310A peripheral blood and of urine of the same mice after 20 d of PPP treatment, as assessed by Drabkin's method. n = 3 per group.
