Growth factors used were IL-6, SCF, TPO, and Flt-3-L at a final concentration of 25 ng/ml with (test cells) and without (control cells) the addition of either zVADfmk -100 nM or zLLYfmk -10 uM (MP,,).
After the 10th day of culture, the cells were collected from the suspension culture, and centrifuged (1000 rpm for 5 minutes).
The cells were used for assessing the in vitro homing properties or were used for in vivo homing studies in NOD/SCID mice.Lentiviral transduction of bone marrow cellsFreshly isolated bone marrow (BM) cells were plated in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) (31980,,) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 200 mM glutamine, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% sodium pyruvate, 50 uM 2-mercaptoethanol, stem cell factor (SCF, 10 ng/ml,,), Flt3-L (10 ng/ml), IL-11 (10 ng/ml), thrombopoietin (TPO, 10 ng/ml), IL-6 (10 ng/ml), and IL-3 (10 ng/ml).
Bone marrow cells were spin-infected with 8 ug/ml polyprene and lentivirus (MOI of 0.1-0.5), at 2,500 rpm for 90 min.
BM cells were then incubated for 3 hours at 37 degree C, counted and injected into NOD.SCID mice.Generation and isolation of MLL-AF9 leukemia cellsMLL-AF9 mouse leukemias were generated in Dr. David Scadden's laboratory as described below.
Actin-DsRED mice (JAX) were backcrossed for 10 generations onto C57BL/6J mice (JAX).
These mice were sacrificed four days after injection with 150 mg/kg 5FU.
BM cells were isolated from femurs and tibias, and red blood cells were lysed using ACK lysing buffer.
Cells were incubated in RPMI supplemented with 20% FBS, 1% Pen-Strep, 6 ng/ml of IL-3, 10 ng/ml of TPO, 10 ng/ml of IL-6, at 37 degree C 5% CO2 overnight.
MLL-AF9 was introduced by spin-infection (1 000 g for 90 minutes) using a retroviral vector (MSCV-MLL-AF9-neo) 6 live cells per mouse were injected into lethally irradiated (9Gy) C57BL/6 recipient mice 12 hours after viral infection.
The mice were sacrificed once they became moribund.
BM cells were isolated as described above, and subjected to ACK lysis.
200 000 cells were injected into sublethally irradiated (4.5 Gy) C57BL/6 recipients.
Once these mice were moribund, ACK-lysed live BM cells were isolated as described above and 1×106 cells/mouse were used for intramuscular injections.Single Cell Hematopoietic Colony Forming in vitro Assaycelltype'>BM-derived celltype'>cells were isolated, stained as described above using combination of CD45-FITC, Lin-PE, Sca-1-PE-Cy5, CD105-PE-Cy7 or c-Kit-APC-Cy7 antibodies, and sorted with MoFlo XPD cell sorter.
Only DAPI-negative cells with integral membrane were chosen, using gating strategy presented in 2), then wells with colonies were counted, the colonies were harvested, diluted with PBS to final volume of 250 ul, cytospined (1,000 rpm, 10 minutes, room temperature), air-dried, and stained using's method with Hemacolor Kit.Colony-forming unit assaysMouse BM cells were harvested via flushing of the long bones with medium'>Dulbecco medium'>modified medium'>Eagle medium (DMEM;,,,) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS,,,), was followed by filtering through a 70-um nylon mesh cell strainer, to remove bone debris.
BM mononuclear cells were cultured in medium'>MethoCult medium'>M3231 medium supplemented with 50 ng/ml Thrombopoietin (TPO,,), for 7 days according to the manufacturer's protocols.
Colonies containing >3 MKs were counted as CFU-MKs.
Duplicate assays were performed for each mouse.
At least two mice were analyzed for each sample group.
Application Data
(RGS18-/- mice present a defective megakaryopoiesis.Lin- bone marrow cells (5×104 cells/chamber) from 9/10-week-old WT and RGS18-/- mice (n?=?5 per group) were cultured in Mega-Cult-C media containing 50 ng/mL rhTPO, 10 ng/ml rmIL3, and 3 ng/ml rmIL6 in double-chamber slides at 37°C for 11 days.)

It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Thrombopoietin, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
