TRIB3 silencing enhances the megakaryocytic differentiation of UT7/mpl cells. shRNA-transduced cells (shControl and shTRIB3.4) were grown for 7 days in the absence (basal) or presence of 100 ng/mL TPO (+TPO) and then analysed for TRIB3 mRNA and CD61 expression. (a) TRIB3 mRNA levels are expressed relative to the basal levels in shControl. Error bars denote SD of pooled Q-PCR data from two independent cultures (n = 6); (b–d) Flow cytometric analysis of megakaryocytic differentiation. (b) Representative density plots display the percentages of CD61+ cells. (c) Representative histogram plots display the median fluorescence intensities (MFI); the faint traces correspond to the fluorescence distribution of samples stained with an isotype-matched control antibody. (d) Results of three independent cultures are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
