Fig 4. P-SSCs and BM-SSCs express common SSC markers.

Fig 4

(A) Gene commons analysis shows that Mx1+Ocn− P-SSCs (MON) and Mx1+Nes+ BM-SSCs (MNS) highly express Leptin receptor (LepR) and Gremlin 1, demonstrating that these SSC populations share characteristics with previously studied early postnatal SSC and progenitor populations [29]. Further, KDR is found to be uniquely expressed in P-SSCs compared to other SSCs. (B) Hematopoietic cells (CD45+), osteoblasts (OcnG+), Mx1+Nes+ BM-SSCs (MNS) and Mx1+ P-SSCs were sorted, and the levels of the indicated genes were quantified by qPCR.
