Differential expression of Hdc-GFP+/hi HSC VS Hdc-GFP-/lo hematopoetic stem cells (HSCs) from bone marrow.. Mus musculus

Bone marrow Hdc-GFPhi and Hdc-GFPlo HSPC (SLAM-LSK, Lin-c-kit+Sca-1+CD150+CD48-) HSCs were isolated from mouse femur and tibia from histidine decarboxylase (Hdc) green fluorescent protein (Hdc-GFP) mice. Hdc-GFPhi HSC and Hdc-GFPlo HSC cells were sorted by combinations of GFP and the cell surface markers of HSC. total RNA was isolated from sorted 2,500 HSPCs using ARCTURUS PicoPure RNA isolation kit (Life Technologies). cDNA was amplified and libraries were constructed by using SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA kit (Clontech Laboratories) and Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation kit (Illumina) according to manufacturer’s instructions respectively. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. Overall design: a. Hdc-GFPhi bone marrow HSC cells (n=3) b. Hdc-GFPlo bone marrow HSC cells (n=4)
