UVC and Cr(VI) induce a DDR at telomeres. SV40 immortalized XP30RO-derived cells expressing polη (Wt) or vector alone (XPV) following irradiation with 5 J/m2 UVC or 3 μM Cr(VI) for 48 h. Cells were analyzed via IF-FISH for 53BP1 (green), γH2AX (magenta) and telomere (red) co-localization (white) at 0- or 6-h recovery. (A) Confocal images of untreated Wt cells, and Wt and XPV cells exposed to UVC or Cr(VI) and allowed to recover for 6 h. Average DDR foci and telomere foci per cell after 0 or 6 h recovery from UVC (B) or Cr(VI) (C). Data represent averages from two independent experiments and a minimum of 50 cells. Bars with a symbol of * indicates a significant difference compared to mock exposure and between the various recovery time points (P < 0.05). Bars, 10 μM. Untreated, UT.
