a, Schematic illustration of protocol for activating bone marrow HSCs using Cy/GCSF. b, Flow cytometry analysis of Cy/GCSF-treated MFG mice (n = 3 mice). Data show Lineage− cells. Mean ± s.d. c, Number of GFP+ cells identified per calvaria in untreated and Cy/GCSF-treated Mds1GFP/+Flt3Cre mice (n = 5 and 4 mice, respectively). Red bars indicate mean. P was calculated using two-tailed Mann–Whitney test. d, Cell cycle analysis of MFG+ cells from Cy/GCSF-treated mice. Three mice were pooled together to acquire the displayed data. e, Graph showing in vivo motility measurements of HSPCs (n = 66 cells) and MFG-HSCs (n = 30 cells) at steady-state and of activated MFG-HSCs (n = 142 cells) in the calvaria. Red bars indicate mean. P were calculated using two-tailed Mann–Whitney test. f, g, Distance from MFG+ cells to the endosteum (n = 24 and 12 cells for untreated and Cy/GCSF-treated, respectively) and to the nearest vessel (n = 20 and 17 cells for untreated and Cy/GCSF-treated, respectively), after treatment with Cy/GCSF. Red bars indicate mean. P values calculated using two-tailed unpaired t-test.
