Description
We discovered that mice lacking Lsd1 in the erythroid lineage die in utero of a lethal anemia around embryonic day E13.5. Lsd1 knockout embryos displayed an increase in CD71_high c-Kit_high pro-erythroblasts, followed by a drastic reduction of later maturation stages. To determine the genes altered by Lsd1-loss, CD71_high c-Kit_high pro-erythroblasts from Lsd1fl/fl and Lsd1fl/fl EpoRCre mice were FACS-purified to be analyzed by gene expression profiling.
