Differential Reponses of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells to mTOR Inhibition by Aimin Yang, Xia Xiao, Mingfeng Zhao, Amanda C. LaRue, Bradley A. Schulte, Gavin Y. Wang

“…Here we report that dual inhibition of mTORC1/2 by AZD or its analogue (KU-63794) depletes mouse BM Lin−Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells in cultures via the induction of apoptotic cell death. Subsequent colony-forming unit (CFU) assays revealed that inhibition of mTORC1/2 suppresses the clonogenic function of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in a dose-dependent manner. …”
