First, 20 μL of peripheral blood was collected from the ophthalmic vein and added into tubes containing 4 μL of 1% heparin sodium. Red blood cell lysis buffer was added (Biosharp, China) and the blood was lysed in the dark for 2 min. Then, 2 mL of PBS was added to wash off the lysate. Next, the cells were redissolved in PBS and stained in the dark for 30 min with CD206-phycoerythrin (PE), CD11b-PE, CD25-Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), CD69-FITC, and CD71-FITC (eBioscience, USA), separately. The expression levels of immune response CD markers were measured by flow cytometry (CytoFLEX S, Beckman Coulter, USA).

Cultured cells were harvested at different time intervals. For morphological characterization, cytospin smears were prepared and stained with Wright’s and Giemsa stain. A total of 500 cells were counted in random non-overlapping fields to determine the different stages of erythropoiesis process.
Phenotypic characterization was done by analyzing the expression of different cell surface markers. Cells were harvested and suspended in 50 μl of 1× phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis MO, USA) and 0.1% azide (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis MO, USA), and then incubated with specific fluorochrome-tagged antibodies for 45 min at 4 °C in the dark. Proper isotype-matched antibodies were used as controls. The stained cells were washed, re-suspended in PBS, and acquired on FACS Canto II (BD, San Jose, CA, USA). Data were analyzed by using BD FACS DIVA or BD Flow Jo software. The details of the antibodies used are as follows: CD71-FITC, CD235a-APC (ebioscience, San Diego, California, USA), CD235a-Brilliant violet, CD49d-APC, AnnexinV FITC (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA).

The cells were harvested, and 2 × 105 cells were placed in aliquots in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 1% BSA (PBS/BSA) and centrifuged (200g) for 5 minutes. Antibodies were added directly to cell pellets that were then resuspended to a final volume of 100 μl, incubated for 30 minutes on ice, washed in 5 ml PBS/BSA, and resuspended in 300 μl. The samples were analyzed using an LSRFortessa (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, http://www.bdbiosciences.com) using FACSDiva acquisition (BD Biosciences) and FlowJo analysis software (FlowJo, Ashland, OR, http://www.flowjo.com), or sorted on a FACSARIA (BD Biosciences). Anti-human antibodies included CD71-FITC (catalog no. 11-0719; eBioscience, San Diego, CA, http://www.ebioscience.com), CD43-APC (catalog no. 17-0439-42; eBioscience), glycophorinA (M) (CD235a), efluor450 (catalog no. 48-9884; eBioscience), CD34-PE (catalog no. 12-0349; eBioscience), CD41a-FITC (BD Biosciences), CD45-V450 (BD Biosciences), and CD144-PE (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, http://www.beckmancoulter.com). Mouse IgG1 APC isotype control (catalog no. 17-4714-81; eBioscience) and mouse IgG1 PE isotype control (catalog no. 12-4714-81; eBioscience) were used (supplemental online Fig. 2).

Whole spleens were collected, washed in RPMI and PBS and passed through 100 and 70 μM mesh to release cell suspensions. Single cell suspensions obtained from spleens were analyzed with the following antibodies: B220-APC, TER119-PE, CD71-FITC and Annexin V PerCP-eFluor710 (eBioscience). Cells were analyzed on a BD LSRFortessa machine (Becton Dickinson) using FlowJo software. The four different erythrocytic populations were defined according to Socolovsky et al. (2001) (link): I: Ter119medCD71high (pro-erythroblasts); II: Ter119highCD71high (basophilic erythroblasts); III: Ter119highCD71med (late basophilic erythroblasts); and IV: Ter119highCD71low (orthochromatophillic erythroblasts). For compensation, single positive labeled cells and OneComp eBeads (Becton Dickinson) were used. Ki-67 PerCP-eFluor710, the intracellular staining to identify proliferating cells was performed according to the Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set protocol (eBioscience).

C57BL/6J mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were maintained in an animal facility. Animal care followed MDACC Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee oversight and guidelines. Mice around 10 weeks old were treated with baclofen (Millipore Sigma, St. Louis, MO) at the dose of 3 mg/kg body weight or with phosphate-buffered saline vehicle control (0.2 mL, i.p.) daily for 1 week. Mice were then euthanized with CO 2 , and BM cells were isolated. BM cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using a Gallios flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, IN). The Lin -/Sca1 + /cKit1 + (LSK) BM cells were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Isolated LSK cells were plated into mouse Methocult-3344 (Stem Cell Technology) to culture for 10-14 days before the counting of colonies. The antibodies used for mouse BM cell analysis and LSK isolation included biotin mouse lineage cocktail (Miltenyi 130-090-858), streptavidin-APC-C7 (554063, BD Pharmingen, East Rutherford, NJ), cKit-APC (553356, BD Pharmingen), Sca1-PerCP (45-5981-82, eBioscience, San Diego, CA), CD71-FITC (11-0314-85, eBioscience), and Ter119-eFluor450 (48-5921-82, eBioscience).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
