Specific shRNA Knockdown of PPARγ-Related Candidate Genes Ameliorates Repopulation Capacity of Fancd2−/− LSKs

(A) Real-time qPCR validation of shRNA efficiency in transduced LSK cells for the different constructs designed to target the indicated genes. Values are presented as mean ± SD. ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.

(B–D) Isolated LSKs from Fancd2+/+ or Fancd2/ mice (n = 6 donors/group, two independent experiments) were transduced with a specific shRNA construct or scrambled shRNA control. The transduction efficiency was 25%–33% before transplantation and was normalized to 1. Transduced cells along with untransduced cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated Boy/J (n = 8 mice/group, two independent experiments). The graphs indicate relative changes in GFP+ proportion among donor-derived blood cells (CD45.2) at different time points after transplantation (B and C), or 4 weeks of serial rounds of transplantations (D). Values are presented as mean ± SD.
