The knockdown of cytoplasmic DNases activates the IFN-β pathway. ac Pre-senescent TIG-3 cells were subjected to transfection with indicated siRNA oligos twice (at 2 day intervals). These cells were then subjected to western blotting using antibodies shown right (a), isolation of cytoplasmic fraction followed by qPCR analysis of chromosomal DNA (b) or qPCR analysis of SASP factor gene expression (c). Tubulin was used as a loading control (a). The representative data from three independent experiments are shown. For all graphs, error bars indicate mean ± standard deviation (s.d.) of triplicate measurements. (**P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001; one-way ANOVA)
