FAXDC2 expedites megakaryopoiesis in murine bone marrow cells. (a) c-kit-positive progenitor cells isolated from primary murine bone marrow cells were transduced with control lentiviral vector (Ctrl) or FAXDC2-overexpressing (FAXDC2) vector to undergo megakaryocytic differentiation with thrombopoietin (TPO) for 6 days. The resultant cells were stained with phycoerythrin (PE)-CY7-conjugated anti-CD41 antibody and analyzed by flow cytometry (left panel). Bar graph (right panel) was the statistics of left panel. (b) The resultant cells were stained with PE-conjugated anti CD42 antibody and analyzed by flow cytometry (left panel). Bar graph (right panel) was the statistics of left panel. (c) The resultant cells were stained with anti-CD41-PE-CY7 and DAPI. The CD41+cells were gated for analysis of DNA content. The DNA content that is >4N is represented (left panel). Bar graph (right panel) was the statistics of left panel. (d) The control (Ctrl) or FAXDC2-overexpressing (FAXDC2) cells were harvested for Wright-Giemsa stains. The stained cells were photographed under microscopy at the bright view of the microscope (magnification × 20 or magnification × 40). Scale Bar: 100 μm. (e) The control (Ctrl) or FAXDC2-overexpressing (FAXDC2) cells were harvested for quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) at mRNA level. The expression of RUNX1 was measured. *P<0.05 compared with control.
