Figure Lengend Snippet: A GO term enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages between TFPI f/f and TFPI f/f;EpoR mice. B Heatmap of differential gene expression. C mRNA expression of ALAS2, ALAD, HMBS, UROS, UROD, CPOX, and Fech in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages of TFPI f/f;EpoR mice ( n = 5). D mRNA expression of ALAS2, ALAD, HMBS, UROS, UROD, CPOX, and Fech in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages of rTFPI-treated mice ( n = 5). E Fech mRNA expression in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages and Ter119 + cells of TFPI f/f;EpoR mice ( n = 5). (F and G) Heme content in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages F and Ter119 + cells G of TFPI f/f;EpoR mice ( n = 5). H Heme content in Ter119 + cells of TFPI f/f;EpoR ;CD169 DTR/+ mice after DT treatment ( n = 5). I Heme content in Ter119 + cells of TFPI f/f;EpoR mice after clodronate liposomes treatment ( n = 5). J p-GATA1 and GATA1 protein levels in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages of TFPI f/f;EpoR mice ( n = 3). K GATA1 protein expression of F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages after GATA1 shRNA treatment ( n = 3). L Heme content in F4/80 + CD169 + Vcam-1 + macrophages of TFPI f/f mice after treated with rTFPI and GATA1 shRNA ( n = 5). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA ( A , and C – L ). Data are shown as mean ± SEM and are representative of two ( E – I ) or three (C, D, and J-L) independent experiments. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
