Either low or high dose of NNK reduce MLH1 expression in both lung (NCI) and head and neck (FaDu) cancer cells. Immunofluorescence staining for MLH1 reveals that (A) NCI and (B) FaDU exposed to either 1 μM or 2 μM of NNK produce reduced MLH1 nuclear levels, as indicated by (A-a and B-a) the weak nuclear staining of MLH1 (green: MLH1; blue: DAPI for nuclear staining; scale bar: 20 μm), and (A-b and B-b) the significantly lower nuclear MLH1 levels [MLH1/DAPI means(SD) bin count, by Zen imaging software], compared to untreated controls. Data were obtained from four independent images (p values by t-test; multiple comparisons by Holm-Sidak; GraphPad Prism 7.0).
