We have developed a model mouse of primary myelofibrosis using genetically modified hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Progression manner and molecular pathogenesis of bone marrow fibrosis in the mouse have closely resembled to those of the human disease. Using the mouse model, we have demonstrated that normal HSCs also can be affected to lose stem cell potentials in fibrotic marrow. The newly established mouse model would be useful for developing new molecular therapies against primary myelofibrosis.
