Figure 2. Expression of Nupr1 switches OIS to transformation in MEFs.

Figure 2

(A,B) MEF from LSL-KrasG12D; Nupr1+/+ and LSL-KrasG12D; Nupr1–/– mice were obtained and transduced with an adenovirus expressing the Cre recombinase. Transformation-like images were observed in Nupr1+/+ cells whereas pictures compatible with senescence were observed in the Nupr1-deficients cells. Values correspond to the percentage of senescent cells. (A) and a strong SA-βGal staining was observed in Nupr1–/– MEFS whereas no activity was detected in the Nupr1 wild-type cells (B). Tubulin and Ki-67 staining indicates a rearrangement of the cytoskeleton compatible with a senescent phenotype combined with not proliferation in Nupr1-deficients MEFs (C).
