Fig. 6. Expression profile of ZBP-89 and effects of its overexpression on
hematopoiesis in mouse EB cultures. (A) ZBP-89 expression
profile in undifferentiated ESCs and differentiating EBs quantified with
real-time PCR. Numbers indicate the day of differentiation. Results represent
mean±s.d. of three independent experiments. Inset, western blot
analysis showing induction of the ZBP-89 protein mainly in FLK1+
mesoderm precursors in day 3 EBs. Lane 1, positive control; lane 2, uninduced
ESCs; lane 3, day 3 FLK1- mesodermal cells; lane 4,
FLK1+ mesoderm precursors. Equivalent amounts of cell lysate were
loaded per lane as reflected by the ß-actin signal. (B) Histograms
showing the number of blasts (BL-CFCs), secondary EBs (2°EBs) and
primitive erythroid (BFU-Es) colonies generated from control, D5 and E1 clones
(bars represent the mean number of colonies±s.d. from two independent
experiments). (C) Histograms (mean±s.d., n=3) showing
the numbers of definitive erythroid (CFU-E), macrophage (CFU-M),
granulocyte-macrophage-megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) and granulocyte-macrophage
(CFU-GM) colonies. *P<0.01;
**P<0.001 (paired t-test). (D) Flow
cytometric analysis of a single-cell suspension from E1-derived EBs (see
Materials and methods) stained with FITC-labeled rat antimouse CD45 monoclonal
antibody. ZBP-89 overexpression significantly increased the number of
CD45+ hematopoietic progenitors.
