Figure 7. DNA damage response markers are increased in astrocytes of Alexander disease mouse models.

Figure 7

(ac) DNA damage response markers H2AX-pS139 (a), p53 (b) and p53-pS15 (c) are increased in astrocytes of GFAPR236H/+ and GFAPTg mice (arrows), but not in age-matched wild-type littermate controls (arrowheads). GFAP marks astrocytes. 4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) labels nuclei. (d) p53 and p53-pS15 colocalize with H2AX-pS139 in GFAPTg mice (arrows). DAPI labels nuclei. (e) H2AX-pS139, p53 and p53-pS15 colocalize with CNGA4 in GFAPTg mice (arrows). DAPI labels nuclei. Mice were 3 months old in all panels. Scale bar, 20 μm.
