Sorted BFU-E (CD24 and CD7110%low) cells were cultured in SFELE medium with or without 100nM Dex and with or without 333μM DMOG (Figure 5B). Although the average of 4 experiments is shown, CFU-E colony-forming assays at days 7 and 8 were performed only twice. Data reported are number of cells formed in culture from 100 BFU-E cells. Results show that a combination of DMOG and Dex reduces differentiation and increases self-renewal of BFU-E cells, which over time results in increased CFU-E colony formation.
Number of erythroblasts reached its highest value that day.
