KLF4 influences YFP+-derived organoid formation and regenerative capability in response to γ radiation-induced injury. (A, B) Representative images of organoids derived from the FACS-sorted YFP+ cells isolated from the Bmi1Ctrl and Bmi1∆Klf4 mice at 0, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 h after irradiation obtained under a fluorescence microscope. Regenerating organoids are marked by red arrowheads. The lower panel represents fluorescent images, and the upper panel represents merged images of bright-field and fluorescent images. The scale bar represents 500 µm. (C) Quantification of the regeneration rate of organoids derived from the Bmi1Ctrl and Bmi1∆Klf4 mice exposed to 6, 8, 10 and 12 Gy γ irradiation. Data are represented as the mean ± SD, n = 4–5 mice per group. *p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA.
