(D,E) Representative immunofluorescence microscopy images of the distribution of borg4 (red), Cdc42 (red) or tubulin (green) in LT-HSCs from septin 7fl/fl or septin 7∆/∆ mice. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). scale bar= 5 µm. (F) Percentage of cells with a polar distribution of borg4, Cdc42 or tubulin in septin 7fl/fl or septin 7∆/∆ LT-HSCs. At least 3 biological repeats, at least 30 to 50 cells were scored per sample. Error bars indicate mean±SEM, Two-way ANOVA analysis, **P<0.01, *P<0.05.
