Fig. 7. Expression of HA-p21 in transduced cells. / (A) Western blot analysis with the anti-HA mAb. UT-7 cells (lane 1) grown with GM-CSF were infected at day 2 of culture with VSV-G–pseudotyped retrovirus containing an EGFP vector alone (lane 2) or an HA-tagged p21 and EGFP (lane 3). CD34+cells, isolated from cytapheresis samples (lane 4) cultured with PEG-rHuMGDF and SCF and were infected with the same supernatants (containing HA-tagged p21 [lane 6] or EGFP alone [lane 5] at days 5 and 6. Murine lin− cells cultured for 2 days with PEG-rHuMGDF and SCF (lane 7) were infected with an ecotropic retrovirus containing the same HA-tagged p21 and EGFP (lane 8). Similarly, lin− marrow cells from p21−/− mice were infected with the ecotropic retrovirus coding for the HA-tagged p21 and EGFP (lane 9). Protein lysates were obtained 48 hours after infection and blotted with the anti-HA mAb. Western blots are from a representative experiment (n = 2). (B) Human CD34+ cells and UT-7 cells were infected with the VSV-G–pseudotyped retrovirus containing the HA-tagged p21 vector (identical to lanes 3 and 6 of panel A). Protein lysates were obtained 48 hours after infection and blotted with an anti-p21 mAb. The wild-type p21 and the HA-tagged p21 could be detected. Overexpression of p21 was about 4-fold in normal megakaryocytes and more than 15-fold in the UT-7 cells when the ratio between the tagged p21 and the wild-type p21 was studied. Western blots are from a representative experiment (n = 2).
