KLF4 influences the proliferative ability of cells in YFP+ crypts after 12 Gy TBI of the Bmi1Ctrl and Bmi1∆Klf4 mice treated according to protocol 1 (Supplementary Fig. 1A). (A) Representative IF images of DAPI, YFP, EdU, and KLF4 staining in the PSI crypts at 0, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after irradiation obtained under a fluorescence microscope. The scale bar represents 20 µm. (B, C) Quantification of the percentage of YFP+, EdU+ or KLF4+ cells in the YFP+ crypts of the Bmi1Ctrl (B) and Bmi1∆Klf4 (C) mice. (D, E) Quantification of the percentage of YFP+ cells costained with EdU, KLF4 or EdU and KLF4 together in the Bmi1Ctrl (D) and Bmi1∆Klf4 (E) mice. (F) Comparison of the percentage of YFP+EdU+ cells in the YFP+ crypts of the Bmi1Ctrl and Bmi1∆Klf4 mice. Data are represented as the mean ± SD, 20 YFP+ crypts were quantified per mouse, and n = 3 mice per group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA.
