Figure 4. Lowering oxygen exposure prevents DNA damage and β-catenin accumulation in the intestine.

Figure 4

A. Decreased oxidative DNA damage as measured by 8-oxoG (pg/µg genomic DNA) ELISA in polyp-free segments of intestine from 10% compared to 21% oxygen APCMin/+ mice. Data shown as mean ± SEM, with n = 3. B. Decreased DNA damage response observed by γ-H2AX western blotting in polyp-free intestine of 10% compared to 21% oxygen APCMin/+ mice. Relative intensity quantified by densitometric scanning of γ-H2AX normalized to β-actin protein (graph), n = 3. C. Decreased protein levels of β-catenin and its transcriptional target cyclin D1 in polyp-free intestine of 10% compared to 21% oxygen APCMin/+ mice. Representative samples in each oxygen condition and β-actin serves as protein loading control, n = 3.
