UV-B irradiation or PBA induced nuclear fragmentation and PARP cleavage in the presence of TUDCA: To determine the effect of TUDCA on UV-B irradiation and PBA induced nuclear fragmentation and PARP cleavage, 2 mM TUDCA pretreated cells (15 h) were exposed to UV-B irradiation for 60 seconds (200 J/m2) or treated with 5 mM PBA and then cells were incubated at 37° C for 5 and 10 h after UV- irradiation, or 15 and 24 h after PBA treatment. Nuclear fragmentation was analyzed by DAPI staining in confocal microscopy (Panel A and Panel C) as described in ‘Materials and Methods’. Arrow marks indicate fragmented nuclei. PARP cleavage was analyzed for respective treatments by a specific antibody by western blotting (Panel B and D).
