Induction of mouse p21 transcript in response to IR. (A) Raw data of HiCEP analysis. Blue, red, green and orange lines indicate HiCEP data using mRNAs prepared at 0, 3, 6 and 24 h, respectively, after exposure to IR (7 Gy). (B) The p21 peaks. HiCEP analysis was performed twice. The colors have the same meaning as in (A). (C) Expression of p21 after exposure to IR, analyzed twice by HiCEP (solid line) and real-time PCR (dotted line). Standard deviations are shown. The y-axis indicates the intensity of fluorescence relative to the intensity at 0 h. For real-time PCR, data were normalized relative to the expression level of the GAPDH gene. Both HiCEP and real-time PCR analyses were carried out twice with the same RNA sample. (D) Induction of the CyclinG, Mdm2 and Gadd45 transcripts, whose transcription is controlled by p53, as detected by HiCEP. Black and red lines indicate HiCEP data using mRNAs prepared at 0 and 6 h, respectively, after exposure to IR (7 Gy).
