The livers of SprtnH/H mice exhibit increased accumulation of Top1ccs. (A) Expression levels of nuclear Top1 in the indicated tissues of 10-month-old female Sprtn+/+ mice as assessed by anti-Top1 Western blotting. Histone H1 is shown as a loading control. (B) Immunohistochemistry of Top1ccs in the liver of 4-month-old mice. Cryosections of the liver from Sprtn+/+ and SprtnH/H mice were stained with anti-Top1cc. DNA was stained with Hoechst to visualize nuclei. (C) Quantitation of cells containing Top1cc foci in the indicated tissues of 4-month-old mice. At least 100 cells were scored for Top1cc foci in Sprtn+/+ and SprtnH/H mice. Percentages of cells with 10 or more foci are shown. Values are mean ± s.e.m. (n = 3). No cells were scored as positive for Top1cc foci in the thymus, spleen and kidney. (D) Immunohistochemistry of γH2AX in the liver of 4-month-old mice. Cryosections of the liver from Sprtn+/+ and SprtnH/H mice were stained with anti-γH2AX. DNA was stained with Hoechst to visualize nuclei. (E) Quantitation of cells containing γH2AX foci in the indicated tissues of 4-month-old mice. At least 100 cells were scored for γH2AX foci and percentages of cells with 10 or more foci are shown. Values are mean ± s.e.m. (n = 3). No cells were scored as positive for γH2AX foci in the spleen. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 (two-tailed unpaired t-test).
