The IFA measurement for γH2AX foci or p-p53ser15-positive fibroblast cells after CPT wash–out. Cells were treated with CPT (10 μM) for 2 h, then CPT was washed away. Cells were allowed to recover in fresh prepared media without CPT for 24 (R24) or 48 (R48) h. After 2 h CPT treatment, significant γH2AX foci (A)were found in nuclei, and the level of p-p53ser15 (B) was increased in nuclei. The numbers of γH2AX- or p-p53ser15-positive cells were reduced within 24 h after CPT wash-out. The images were taken with 60× magnification. Blue: DAPI; red: γH2AX; green: p-p53ser15. Con: control group treated with vehicle. R24 h and R48 h: after CPT was washed away, cells continued to grow in media without CPT for 24 or 48 h. DAPI: 4’,4-diamidino-2-phenylindole, a fluorescent dye that strongly binds to DNA as a nuclear counterstain.
