hematopoietic system
• total numbers of clonogenic hemopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow and spleen are increased indicating that mice develop features of myeloproliferation
|
• total number of myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow and spleen is increased, with a particular increase in the number of blast colony-forming cells
• blast cell colonies show increased propensity to formation of secondary colonies, particularly secondary blast cell and megakaryocyte colonies
• 2- to 4-fold increase in bone marrow LSK cells, Lin-cKit+Sca1- myeloid progenitors, pregranulocyte-macrophage progenitors, granulocyte-macrophage (GM) progenitors, and CD150+CD9(hi) and CD150+FcgammaR+ bipotential erythroid-megakaryocyte progenitor populations
|
• increase in the proportion of megakaryocytes with ploidy of 16N or greater
|
• mice develop megakaryocytosis in the bone marrow and spleen
• clonogenic assays of bone marrow and spleen cells show an increase in the numbers of megakaryocyte colony-forming cells
|
• reduction in erythroid progenitors (preCFU-E and CFU-E)
|
• mice develop thrombocytosis, with a 10-fold increase in the number of circulating platelets
|
cellular
• total numbers of clonogenic hemopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow and spleen are increased indicating that mice develop features of myeloproliferation
