RNA sequencing comparing the effect of the introduction of RUNX1-D171N in Csf3r-d715 mice bone marrow cells

To address how Csf3r and RUNX1 mutations in combination with CSF3 administration affect hematopoiesis in vitro, we performed hematopoietic expansion cultures in LODISH stem cell expansion medium. Lineage-negative Csfr-d715 BM cell cells were retrovirally transduced with the patient specific RUNX1-D171N (RHD) mutant or an empty vector control and subsequently treated with puromycin to select for the transduced cells. Lineage- c-Kit+ (LK) cells were FACS sorted in TRIzol 2, 5 and 9 days after puromycin selection and subsequently used for RNA isolation according to the manufacturer’s protocol. SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA kit for sequencing (Clontech, v4 Cat# 634891) was used to generate cDNA. Sequencing libraries were generated using TruSeq Nano DNA Sample Preparation kits (Illumina, Cat# 20015964), according to the low sample protocol and paired-end sequenced on a HiSeq 2500 (Illumina).
