Popis: Gamma interferon inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT), is known to be involved in immunity, but its role in hematopoiesis has not been previously reported. Herein, we demonstrate using gilt knockout (-/-) mice that loss of gilt associates with decreased numbers and cycling status of femoral hematopoietic progenitor cells (CFU-GM, BFU-E, and CFU-GEMM) with more modest effects on splenic progenitor cells. Thus, GILT is associated with positive regulation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in mice, mainly in bone marrow.
