Figure 7. Cdh1 is required for HDR repair of DSBs.

Figure 7

(a,b) Quantification of HDR (a) and NHEJ (b) assays in cells transfected with indicated siRNAs. The HDR (the percentage of GFP+ cells among mCherry+ cells) and NHEJ (the percentage of tdTomato+ cells among GFP+ cells) efficiencies in cells transfected with the indicated siRNAs were normalized to that in control (siCTL) cells. (c) Quantification of γH2AX foci in WT and Cdh1−/− MEFs after 10 Gy IR. (d) Immunostaining of Rad51 in WT and Cdh1−/− MEFs after 10 Gy IR. The cells were fixed 1 h after the irradiation, and processed for immunofluorescence analysis. (e) Survival of U2OS cells transfected with the indicated siRNAs after hydroxyurea treatment. Twenty four hours after transfection of the siRNAs, the cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of HU for 24 h and then cultured in fresh media for additional 2 days before the viability test. (f,g) Immunofluorescence analysis of BRCA1 (f) and RIF1 (g) in U2OS-Fucci cells transfected with the indicated siRNAs. Three days after the siRNA transfection, the cells were treated with 10 mM HU for 2 h and collected for the analysis. Top panel: representative images of BRCA1 and RIF1 foci in cells transfected with indicated siRNAs. Bottom panel: quantification of BRCA1 and RIF1 focus number per cell (n>218). Error bars indicate SEM. ** indicates P<0.001 (student’s t-test).
