Induction of APBs is associated with p53/p21-mediated senescence. (A) SA-β-gal staining of C2, C7, and C8 cells treated with 4OHT or ethanol vehicle for 4 d. SA-β-gal expression was found in 4OHT-treated C7 and C8 cells. (B) TRF1 and DAPI staining of C8 cells treated with 4OHT for 3 d. APBs were found in phenotypically senescent cells. (C) Triple immunostaining of TRF1, BrdU, and p21 in C7 and C8 cells after treatment with 4OHT for 4 d, and with BrdU for 24 h before the end of 4OHT treatment. APBs (visualized here as large TRF1 foci) were found mainly in cells staining positive for p21 and negative for BrdU. Bars: (A) 100 µm; (B and C) 20 µm.
