Figure 4. Blockade of Epo signaling with anti-EPO serum in [Apc-Arid1a]ko-focal mice eliminates aberrant erythropoiesis in the spleen, but maintains angiogenesis in the liver.
(a) Hematocrit before (n = 4) and after (n = 4) anti-EPO treatment (t-test). (b,c) FACS analysis (b) and quantification (c) of spleens with/without anti-EPO (n = 4 for each group) (t-test). (d) RT-qPCR showing relative expression of erythropoiesis factors in the spleens of WT (n = 9), treated [Apc-Arid1a]ko-focal (n = 4), untreated [Apc-Arid1a]ko-focal (n = 8) mice (one-way ANOVA). (e) Hematoxylin Eosin (HE)-stained sections of livers from representative 7-month-old mice. (f,g) FACS analysis (f) and quantification (g) of liver NPC with/without anti-EPO. (h) RT-qPCR showing relative expression of angiogenic factors in the livers with (n = 4) and without (n = 10) anti-EPO (t-test). ****p<0.0001.
