Abstract

WDR5 is a highly conserved protein that performs multiple scaffolding functions in the context of chromatin. However, efforts to understand the function of WDR5 in normal tissues physiologically are quite limited so far. In our study, we explored the function of Wdr5 in erythropoiesis and hematopoiesis by using a hematopoietic-specific Wdr5 knockout mouse model. We found that loss of Wdr5 mediated by Vav-iCre leads to embryonic lethality with defective erythropoiesis. In addition, Wdr5-deficiency completely impairs the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells function and might alter the immunophenotype of these stem cells and progenitors by decreasing c-Kit expression. Collectively, we identified the pivotal role of Wdr5 in fetal hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis as the de novo findings.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 April 2023.
All research outputs
#14,725,123
of 23,578,918 outputs
Outputs from Experimental Hematology & Oncology
#122
of 318 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#116,660
of 248,402 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Experimental Hematology & Oncology
#6
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,578,918 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 318 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 248,402 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
