Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Bright-field images of vehicle- and idarubicin-treated 48-h HSC cultures (representative of 5 experiments). (B) Flow cytometric analysis of MK surface markers in idarubicin- or DMSO vehicle-treated 48-h HSC cultures ( n = 5, each averaged across 3 technical replicates and normalized to vehicle, 1-sample t test). (C) Representative confocal images of HSCs stained for CD41 and DAPI after 48-h culture with vehicle or idarubicin culture (representative of 3 experiments). (D) Fraction of CD41 + cells as evaluated by confocal microscopy ( n = 3, paired t test). (E) Confocal images of HSCs stained for GATA1 and DAPI after 48-h culture with vehicle or idarubicin culture (representative of 3 experiments). (F) Quantification of percentage of GATA1 cells after 48-h culture of HSCs with vehicle or idarubicin ( n = 3, unpaired t test). (G) Quantification of GATA1 integrated density within GATA1 + population ( n = 3, unpaired t test). (H) qRT-PCR for MK markers in 48-h vehicle- and idarubicin-treated HSC cultures (normalized to vehicle, n = 5 unpaired t test). (I) Flow cytometry histograms of cell cycle/ploidy in 48-h HSC cultures with vehicle or idarubicin (representative of 5 experiments). (J) Quantification of cell cycle/ploidy analyses in 48-h HSC cultures with vehicle or idarubicin ( n = 5, paired t test). (K) Flow cytometry histograms of propidium iodide cell-cycle and ploidy analyses in 48-h HSC cultures with vehicle, idarubicin, and/or adavosertib (representative of 3 experiments). (L) Quantification of fraction sub-G1 and G2 cells in 48-h HSC cultures with vehicle, idarubicin, and/or adavosertib ( n = 3, 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). (M) Flow cytometric analysis of MK surface markers in 48-h HSC cultures with vehicle, idarubicin, and/or adavosertib ( n = 3, each experiment averaged across technical replicates, 1-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s multiple comparisons). * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01; *** p ≤ 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: After three additional washes in PBS, stained cells were mounted in fluorescent mounting media with DAPI (OriGene, Rockville, MD) and stored at 4° C in tinfoil until ready to image.
