Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markers

J:98123

Linkage analysis was performed on animals from 26 BXD (B=C57BL/6J; D=DBA/2J) recombinant inbred (RI) strains to identify QTLs associated with age-dependent hematopoietic stem cell proliferation. A panel of 319 markers at a resolution of 3.75 cM was used for linkage analysis. Aged animals of progenitor strain C57BL/6J exhibit increased stem cell proliferation and bone marrow repopulation capability compared to aged animals of progenitor strain DBA/2J.

Significant linkage to early hematopoietic progenitorcell (eHPC) numbers and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) numbers in young animals mapped to 38 cM on mouse Chromosome 1 near D1Mit282. This locus is named Scpro4 (stem cell proliferation 4.) C57BL/6J-derived alleles at Scrpo4 confer increased eHPCs and HSCsin young animals and shows interaction with Scpro7 on mouse Chromosome 5. (The C57BL/6J allele at Scpro4 appears to suppress the effect of the DBA/2J allele at Scpro7.) This locus shows synteny to a region on human Chromosome 2q33-q35. Potential candidate genes for Scpro4 are Igfbp2 (36.1 cM), Igfbp5 (36.1 cM), Wdt2, and Il8rb (40 cM). Suggestive linkage to HSCs in young animals mapped to 100 cM near D1Mit150. DBA/2J-derived alleles at D1Mit150 confer increased HSCs at the suggestive locus.

Linkage to early hematopoietic progenitor cell (eHPC) numbers and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) numbers in old animals mapped to 72 cM on mouse Chromosome 2 near D2Mit423. This locus is named Scpro5 (stem cell proliferation 5) and is believed to also be involved in aging. C57BL/6J-derived alleles at Scrpo5 confer increased eHPCs and HSCs in old animals. Potential candidate genes mapping near Scrpo5 are Il1a (73 cM), Il1b (73 cM), Fgf7, Dll4, and Bmp2 (76.1 cM). This locus shows synteny to regions on human Chromosomes15p13-p22 and 20p12-p13.

Linkage to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) number in young animals mapped to

24 cM on mouse Chromosome 3 near D3Mit6. This locus is named Scpro6 (stem cell proliferation 6.) DBA/2J-derived alleles at Scpro6 confer increased HSCs in young animals. Potential candidate genes for Scpro6 are Il2 (19.2 cM) and Fgf2 (19.3 cM). This locus shows synteny to regions on human Chromosome 3q25-p27 and 4q26-p28.

Linkage to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) number in young animals mapped to

20 cM onmouse Chromosome 5 near D5Mit352. This locus is named Scpro7 (stem cell proliferation 7.) DBA/2J-derived alleles at Scpro7 confer increased HSCs in young animals. Scpro4 on mouse Chromosome 1 shows interaction with Scpro7. (The C57BL/6J allele at Scpro4 appears to suppress the effect of the DBA/2J allele at Scpro7.) Potential candidate genes mapping near Scpro7 are Il6 (17 cM), Fgfr3 (20 cM), Hmx1 (18 cM), and Msx1 (21 cM). This locus shows synteny to regions on human Chromosome 3q25-p27 and 4q26-p28.

Linkage to early hematopoietic progenitor cell (eHPC) number in young and old animals mapped to 50 cM on mouse Chromosome 7 with LOD=10.1 near Hbb (50 cM). This locus is named Scrpo8 (stem cell proliferation 8.) DBA/2J-derived alleles at Scpro8 confer increased eHPCs in young and old animals. Scpro8 was confirmed using congenic lines derived from DBA/2J and C57BL/6J. Potential candidate genes mapping near Scrpo8 are Eed (47 cM) and Stim1 (50 cM.) This locus shows synteny to regions on human Chromosome 11q13-q11.5 and 11p15-p15.5. Suggestive linkage to eHPCs in young animals was also detected on mouse Chromosome 7 at 8 cM and 25 cM.

Linkage to early hematopoietic progenitor cell (eHPC) number in old animals mapped to 13 cM on mouse Chromosome 14 near D14Mit45.This locus is named Scpro9 (stem cell proliferation 9.)

Potential candidate genes for Scrpo9 are Prkcd(11 cM), Bmpr1a (13 cM), Tep1 (13.5 cM), Bmp4 (15 cM.)
