Meis1  is recognized as an important transcriptional regulator in hematopoietic development and is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of leukemia, both as a Hox transcription factor co-factor and independently. Despite the emerging recognition of  Meis1 ’s importance in the context of both normal and leukemic hematopoiesis, there is not yet a full understanding of  Meis1 ’s functions and the relevant pathways and genes mediating its functions. Recently, several conditional mouse models for  Meis1  have been established. These models highlight a critical role for  Meis1  in adult mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and implicate reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a mediator of  Meis1  function in this compartment. There are, however, several reported differences between these studies in terms of downstream progenitor populations impacted and effectors of function. In this study, we describe further characterization of a conditional knockout model based on mice carrying a loxP-flanked exon 8 of  Meis1  which we crossed onto the inducible Cre localization/expression strains, B6;129- Gt(ROSA)26Sor   tm1(Cre/ERT)Nat  /J or B6.Cg-Tg(Mx1-Cre)1Cgn/J. Findings obtained from these two inducible Meis1 knockout models confirm and extend previous reports of the essential role of  Meis1  in adult HSC maintenance and expansion and provide new evidence that highlights key roles of Meis1 in both megakaryopoiesis and erythropoiesis. Gene expression analyses point to a number of candidate genes involved in Meis1’s role in hematopoiesis. Our data additionally support recent evidence of a role of  Meis1  in ROS regulation.
