Figure 5. WRN loss-of-function in MSI-H CRC results in nuclear morphology and integrity defects.

Figure 5.

(A) MSS and MSI-H CRC cell lines were transfected with the indicated siRNAs. Immunofluorescence analysis was performed 96 hr after transfection to determine the fraction of cells with chromosomal bridges and micronuclei. Examples with enhanced brightness are shown as insets. LAP2β signal intensity was adjusted in a subset of samples for uniform representation. Scale bar, 10 µm. (B) Statistical analysis of chromosomal bridge phenotypes observed in siRNA knock-down studies in MSS and MSI-H CRC lines and hTERT RPE-1 non-transformed cells. (C) Statistical analysis of micronuclei phenotypes observed in siRNA knock-down studies in MSS and MSI-H CRC lines and hTERT RPE-1 non-transformed cells. Data information: In (B and C), data are presented as mean ± SD of two or three independent experiments (n ≥ 410 cells).
