Linezolid-associated bone marrow suppression was not observed in macaques. Bone marrow was acquired from the sternum of all macaques at necropsy after 4 weeks LZD or LZD+IL-1Rn. A portion was used for flow cytometric analysis of erythroid progenitor populations and the rest for histopathology analysis. (A) A schematic of erythropoiesis indicating the stage of differentiation and corresponding expression levels of phenotyping markers (CD235a and CD71) and progenitor ratios (1:2:4:8). Included is the gating strategy to identify progenitor populations and an example of MitoTracker staining. (B) The ProE:EryC ratio (left) of each animal, including untreated TB only macaques (black) from other ongoing unpublished studies. A single uninfected animal (open circle) is shown as reference, the dotted line indicates the homeostatic ratio of 1:8. MitoTracker MFI (right) is shown for each macaque per treatment group. Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to compare the three groups (excluding uninfected macaque) and p-values are shown in the graphs. (C) Representative H&E images from sternal bone marrow acquired at necropsy, 20x (left) and 40x (right) are shown.
