OPN alters the composition of the primitive HSC compartment. (A) Representative plots from 22-month-old WT and OPN−/− bone marrow cells. (B) Cumulative data of HSPC subpopulations calculated as percentage of total bone marrow mononuclear cells. Values are the mean ± SD; n = 7; *P ≤ 0.05. (C) Representative plots of cell cycle analyses by Ki67 and DAPI gated on HSC population. (D) Cumulative analyses of the proportion of stem and progenitor cells in G1 phase of the cell cycle in WT and OPN−/− mice. Values are the mean ± SD; n = 3; *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01.
