Fig. 4: Loss of IL-1β in JAK2-V617F mutant cells reduces MPN symptom burden and myelofibrosis.

a Schematic of non-competitive transplantation with 2 million BM cells from tamoxifen induced VF, WT, VF; IL-1β−/−, or IL-1β−/− donor mice into lethally irradiated WT recipients (n = 15 per group). Complete blood counts measured every 4 weeks until 32 weeks after transplantation are shown. Two-tailed unpaired t-tests without correction for multiple comparisons was performed. Grey area represents normal range. b Bar graph shows the spleen weight at 32 weeks after transplantation. Two-tailed unpaired t test was performed. c Representative images of bone marrow fibrosis (reticulin fibrosis) are shown at 32-weeks after transplantation. Histological grade of reticulin fibrosis in the BM at 16- and 32-weeks after transplantation is shown in the bar graph. Two-tailed unpaired t test was performed. Bar graph showing the percentage of mice with osteosclerosis in the BM. d Schematic of non-competitive transplantation with 2 million BM cells from tamoxifen induced VF, WT, VF;IL-1β−/−, or IL-1β−/− donor mice into lethally irradiated IL-1β−/− recipients (n = 15 per group).
