Inhibition of PRMT5 increased markers of DNA damage in replicating cancer cell lines. A, The change of the percentage of GSK3326595 treated cells positive for geminin, a marker of replication, and γH2AX, a marker of DNA damage, from DMSO or etoposide treated cells measured by immunofluorescence. Cells with a geminin MFI > 750 were considered geminin positive and cells with an MFI > 2000 or > 15 foci per nuclei were considered γH2AX positive. The change in the percentage of cells positive for both geminin and γH2AX was plotted (n = 2 per cell line with 2 technical replicates per cell line). B, Representative immunofluorescent images of CaOV3 cells treated with DMSO or GSK3326595 for 6 days. Cells stained with anti-γH2AX, anti-geminin, and nuclear stain Hoechst. Immunofluorescent images taken using a 40X objective. Scale bar represents 50 μm. C, The change in the percentage of GSK3326595-treated cells positive for geminin and RAD51, a marker of HR mediated DNA repair, from DMSO or etoposide-treated cells measured by immunofluorescence. Cells with > 5 foci per nuclei were considered RAD51 positive (n = 2 biological replicates with 2 technical replicates per cell line). D, The change in the percentage of GSK3326595 treated cells positive for geminin and 53BP1, a marker of NHEJ mediated DNA repair, from DMSO or etoposide treated cells measured by immunofluorescence. Cells with > 5 foci per nuclei were considered 53BP1 positive (n = 2 per cell line). All error bars represent mean ± SEM.
