ELK inhibits lymphocyte differentiation and promotes myeloid differentiation. A A schematic showing the experimental design used for the analysis of ALA on HSPC lineage differentiation in vivo. B Representative flow cytometry plots of pCCL-L-ELK1 (L-ELK1), pCCL-S-ELK1 (S-ELK1), and pCCL-GFP (Ctrl) lentiviral-transduced CD34+ HSPCs 48 h after transduction. C–D Representative flow cytometry plots of hCD19+ B cells, hCD11b+ myeloid cells, hCD15+ neutrophils, and hCD14+ monocytes gated from single hCD45+GFP+ live cells derived from the bone marrow of M-NSG mice. M-NSG mice were sacrificed 3 months after transplantation. E Representative flow cytometry plots of hCD123high dendritic cells (DC) and CD123mid CD34low/+ CD15+ CD64mid neutrophil progenitors gated from single GFP+ live cells derived from the bone marrow of M-NSG mice. M-NSG mice were sacrificed 3 months after transplantation. F–G Statistical analysis of hCD19+ B cells, hCD11b+ myeloid cells, hCD15+ neutrophils, and hCD14+ monocytes gated from hCD45+GFP+ single live cells derived from the bone marrow of M-NSG mice. M-NSG mice were sacrificed 3 months after transplantation. H Statistical analysis of hCD123high DC and CD123mid CD34low/+ CD15+ CD64mid neutrophil progenitors gated from single hCD45+ GFP+ live cells derived from the bone marrow of M-NSG mice. M-NSG mice were sacrificed 3 months after transplantation. I Flow cytometry analysis of Linc-Kit+Sca1CD16/32+CD34+ GMP, Linc-Kit+ Sca1 CD16/32mid CD34low CMP, Linc-Kit+Sca1CD16/32 CD34 MEP, CD71+Ter119+ erythrocyte progenitors, CD71Ter119+ erythrocytes, CD11b+ myeloid cells, CD11b+ Ly6G+ Ly6Cmid mature neutrophils, CD11b+ Ly6G–/low Ly6Cmid immature neutrophils and CD11b+ Ly6G Ly6Chigh monocytes in bone marrow of Mx1-Elk1and littermate Ctrl mice. Presentative cytometry plots and statical plots are shown. The flow cytometry assays were performed on day7 post the treatment of PolyIC. The data in panels (FH) are presented as the mean ± SD. An unpaired Student’s t-test (two-tailed) was performed. N = 3–4 individuals; n.s, no significance; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
