NAMPT inhibition or depletion impairs basal PARP-1 activity. (a) PARP-1, NAMPT and CDA protein levels assessed by immunoblotting in HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cell lines left untreated or treated with 1 μM FK866 for 10 h. Actin was used as protein loading control. (b) Representative immunofluorescence deconvoluted z-projection images of HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cells showing PAR foci in interphase cells. Scale bar: 5 µm. (c) Analysis of PAR foci number in HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cell lines left untreated or treated with 1 μM FK866 for 10 h. The data shown are the means ± SD from four independent experiments (> 350 cells per condition). (d) Representative immunofluorescence deconvoluted z-projection images of PICH-positive UFBs in HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA anaphase cells. DNA was visualized by DAPI staining (blue). UFBs were stained with PICH antibody (in green, Alexa Fluor 555). Scale bar: 5 µm. (e) Mean number of UFBs per anaphase cell, for HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cell lines left untreated or treated with 1 μM FK866 for 10 h. The data shown are the means ± SD from three independent experiments (> 80 anaphase cells per condition). (f) PARP-1, NAMPT and CDA protein levels assessed by immunoblotting in HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cell lines transiently transfected with the indicated siRNAs twice successively for a total of 144 h (96 h + 48 h). HSP90 was used as protein loading control. (g) Analysis of PAR foci number in HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cell lines transiently transfected with the indicated siRNAs. The data shown are the means ± SD from four independent experiments (> 350 cells per condition). (h) Mean number of UFBs per anaphase cell, for HeLa-Ctrl(CDA) and HeLa-shCDA cell lines transiently transfected with the indicated siRNAs. The data shown are means ± SD from three independent experiments (> 120 anaphase cells per condition). The significance of differences was assessed with Student’s t-test.
