Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Geminin regulates both of self-renewal and quiescence maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and is a candidate key molecule for HSC regulation. Therefore, sophisticated manipulation of Geminin expression and function may be able to control HSC activity. In this study, we sorted out quiescent HSCs and self-renewing HSCs from bone marrow cells derived from Geminin-EYFP knock-in mice and examined difference in their gene expression at single cell level. In addition, we generated recombinant Geminin protein with membrane-translocating motif for easy induction and withdraw of Geminin expression in hematopoietic cells.
