Increased levels of Claspin and Timeless promote fork progression in cells expressing oncogenic Ras. a Protein levels of Claspin and Timeless in clones #4 and #5 transfected with control (si-Ctrl), Claspin (si-CLSPN), and Timeless (si-TIM) siRNAs. b DNA fiber spreading analysis of fork progression in clones #4 and #5 after depletion of Claspin and Timeless with siRNAs. Median CldU tracks length (red) were determined for three independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001, ns nonsignificant difference. Mann–Whitney rank sum test. c Levels of Claspin and Timeless in U2OS-CycE cells transfected with GFP, Claspin, and Timeless plasmids. U2OS-CycE cells expressing Cyclin E under the control of a doxycyclin-inducible promoter were grown during 6 days in the presence of Dox to induce replication stress. Then cells are transfected with plasmids to overexpress GFP, Claspin or Timeless during 3 days before performing DNA spreading experiment. d DNA spreading analysis of experiment performed in c. DNA spreading was also performed on U2OS-CycE cells growing without Dox. Median CldU tracks length (red) were determined for three independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001, ns nonsignificant. Mann–Whitney rank sum test
