Figure Lengend Snippet: a Identification and distribution of SF3B1 -mutated cells within the LR-MDS hierarchy. UMAP distribution (left panel) and population-specific frequencies (right panel) of mutant cells. Mutant cells are identified by combining 10X scRNA-seq, RaCHseq and SpliceUp computational analyses. b Distribution of mutant cells within HSPC subsets (left panel) and differentially expressed gene (Hallmark) programs in mutant cells (vs. ‘non-assignable’ cells) (right panel), revealing mitigation of inflammatory stress pathways and enrichment of gene programs implicated in cell cycle progression in mutant cells. Positive NES reflects programs enriched in mutant HSPCs, while negative scores indicate enrichment in non-assignable HSPCs. All cells in HSC/MPPs, LMPPs, MEPs, and GMP clusters were used in the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed by a K-S test and adjusted for FDR. c , d Distribution of mutant cells within HSC subsets. c UMAP and d distribution per sample indicating relative abundance of Mutant cells in the ‘high-output’ (HSC-2) subset in comparison to the residual normal (‘non-assignable’) subset. LR-MDS ( n = 4). Data are presented as boxplots: the central line marks the median, the box spans the 25th to 75th percentiles (interquartile range), and whiskers extend to the smallest and largest values within 1.5× the interquartile range. Data points beyond this range are shown individually as outliers ( d ). e HSPC numbers upon co-culture on inflamed (IKK2SE) stromal cells (relative to EV-transduced BMSCs), demonstrating a relative preservation of SF3B1 -mutant immunophenotypic HSPCs (CD34 + and CD34 + CD38 – CD45RA – CD90 + ). Data represents replicates from NBM ( n = 2) and SF3B1 -mutated LR-MDS ( n = 3), experiments performed in dupli/triplicates for each bone marrow sample. Statistical analysis was performed by a two-sided unpaired Welch’s t -test. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
