Mpl expression on megakaryocytes and platelets is dispensable for thrombopoiesis but essential to prevent myeloproliferation
2014-03-19
Abstract excerpt
Thrombopoietin (TPO) acting via its receptor Mpl is the major cytokine regulator of platelet number. To precisely define the role of specific hematopoietic cells in TPO dependent hematopoiesis, we generated mice that express the Mpl receptor normally on stem/progenitor cells but lack expression on megakaryocytes and platelets ( Mpl PF4cre/PF4cre ). Mpl PF4cre/PF4cre mice displayed profound megakaryocytosis and t...
