HSC compartment is impaired in CKD-MBD mice. (A) BMC obtained from CKD-MBD mice and sham-operated controls were harvested and transplanted into healthy, lethally irradiated, congenic recipients. At 24 weeks after transplantation, BMC obtained from primary recipients were harvested, pooled, analyzed for LSK chimerism (E), and re-transplanted into lethally irradiated secondary recipients. At three-week intervals, donor chimerism was analyzed in (B–D) primary and (E–G) secondary recipients. (B,E) Donor-derived CD45+ cells and (C,F) granulocytes were assessed. (D,G) At 18–24 weeks after transplantation the percentage of donor-derived CD45+ cells, granulocytes, LinnegSca-1posc-kithi (LSK) cells and CD34negLSK (HSC) in the spleen and BM were analyzed. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. In panel B–G, each dot represents a single mouse.
