Heterozygous LPL deficiency promotes HSC proliferation and impairs differentiation in mice; leaves open relevance to human hematopoiesis.
Heterozygous LPL knockout in mice impairs the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell compartment by promoting HSC proliferation via p57KIP2 and p21WAF1/CIP1 upregulation, without affecting the bone marrow microenvironment.
