Transcription inhibition alleviates replication fork progression defect in WRN-deficient cells. (A) Experimental scheme of dual labelling of DNA fibers in Werner syndrome (WS) and WS-corrected (WSWRN) cells. Cells were pre-treated with DRB, then pulse-labelled with CldU and treated or not with Aph. After washing, cells were pulse-labelled with IdU as indicated. Representative DNA fiber images are shown. (B) Graph shows the analysis of replication fork velocity (fork speed) in the cells. The length of the green tracks were measured. Mean values are represented as horizontal black lines. (ns, not significant; ****P < 0.0001; two-tailed Student's t test). (C) Graph shows the evaluation of fork symmetry in the cells as reported in the scheme. Mean values are represented as horizontal black lines. (ns, not significant; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001; two-tailed Student's t test).
