Description
Myelopoiesis is impaired in Raptor-deleted mice (CreER-Rptor-flox/flox). To evaluate the transcriptional changes in myeloid precursors , we isolated CMP (LinSca-1c-Kit+CD34+FcRII/IIImid), GMP (LinSca-1c-Kit+CD34+FcRII/IIIhigh) and Lin (B220, Ly6C, Ly6G, CD3, Ter-119) negative cells (Lin) from bone marrow of WT or CreER-Rptor-flox/flox mice. RNA was isolated from CMP and GMP immediately after sorting and Lin- cells were cultured for 12 hours with M-CSF (10 ng/mL) in 10% FBS and 1% P/S DMEM before RNA isolation.
