Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Immunoblots of FBXO11, NPM1, and H3 with densitometry. Each sample was normalized to H3, and then to controls. ( B ) Densitometric values of FBXO11 and NPM1 from A . Pearson correlation for all pairs of values and line of best fit with a 95% CI. ( C ) Cell fitness assay using primary CD34 + cells. FC in indel percentages at the end of the assay versus the initial read. For double knockout, the indel percentage tracks NPM1 edits. * Q < 0.05 and ** Q < 0.01, by 2-group specific longitudinal mixed-effects analysis corrected for multiple comparisons. ( D ) Number of colonies. * Q < 0.05, ** Q < 0.01, and *** Q < 0.001, by multiple t tests corrected for multiple comparisons. n = 3. ( E ) Number of colonies. n = 62 with 3 wells per assay. * Q < 0.05 and ** Q < 0.01, by t tests on pooled replicates corrected for multiple comparisons. ( F ) Growth curve of F-36P GFP + vector or FBXO11-overexpressing cells. n = 9 wells per group. **** P < 0.0001, by t test from the linear mixed-effects model with wells as a random effect. ( G ) Growth curve of MDS92 GFP + vector or FBXO11-overexpressing cells. n = 9 wells per group. **** P < 0.0001, by t test from the linear mixed-effects model with wells as a random effect. ( H ) Schematic of the RUNX1-driven MDS mouse model on an inducible Mx1-Cre + Fbxo11 +/+ or Fbxo11 +/– background. ( I ) Percentage of GFP + peripheral blood cells isolated from Fbxo11 +/+ RUNX1-GFP or Fbxo11 +/– RUNX1-GFP transplants. n = 7–10 mice per group. **** P < 0.0001, by fixed-effects (type III) analysis. ( J ) Percentage of GFP + mononuclear cells isolated from BM aspirates of transplant recipients at 11 weeks. n = 8–9 mice per group. * P -linear < 0.05, by 2-tailed t test. ( K ) Percentage contribution to the LSK, Lin - /Sca1 + /Kit + /SLAM + (signaling lymphocyte activation molecules) (LSK-SLAM + ) gate of immunophenotypically defined HSPCs in surviving RUNX1 transplant recipients. n = 6 mice per group. LT-HSC, long-term HSC; ST-HSC, short-term HSC; MPP-GM, granulocyte-monocyte biased multipotent progenitors; MPP-MkE, megakaryocyte-erythroid biased multipotent progenitors; MPP Ly, lymphoid-biased multipotent progenitor. Q > 0.05, by t tests corrected for multiple comparisons (no significant differences were detected). ( L ) Percentage contribution of RUNX1-GFP + common myeloid progenitor (CMP), GMP, and megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor (MEPs) in the Lin – c-kit + HSPC compartments. n = 6 mice per group. * P < 0.05, by multiple unpaired tests, t test for groups with normal distribution, or Mann-Whitney U test. ( M ) Differential CBCs in mice 16 weeks after pIpC. * P < 0.05, by unpaired, 2-tailed t for groups with normal distribution or Mann-Whitney U test. ( N ) Strategy of Nup98-Hoxd13 -driven MDS mouse model with sh CTRL or sh Fbxo11 vectors. n = 6–10 mice per group. ( O ) Western blot for FBXO11, NPM1, and ACTIN in c-kit + cells from Nup98-Hoxd13 + mice, transduced with lentiviral sh CTRL or sh Fbxo11 . ( P ) CBC in Nup98-Hoxd13 transplants at 2 months. sh Fbxo11 groups were pooled. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.005, by unpaired, 2-tailed t test for groups with normal distribution or Mann-Whitney U test. ( Q ) BM cellularity of Nup98-Hoxd13 mice. sh Fbxo11 groups were pooled. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01, by Mann-Whitney U test. ( R ) Representative H&E-stained femur cells from Q .
