Fig. 2. Knockdown of CXCR4 decreases the survival of A549/GR cells to IR.

Fig. 2

A Western blot (WB, upper) and RT-PCR (lower) analysis of CXCR4 in A549/GR cells transfected with shControl (pGFP) or shCXCR4A and D. B IR clonogenic assay of A549/GR cells transfected with shCXCR4D. Cells (2.5 × 102) were exposed to IR at various doses described in the Figure. IR-exposed cells were evaluated colony-forming activity at 10 days after IR. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.005. C Western blot analysis of A549/GR cells exposed to IR at 6 Gy at the indicated time points transfected with shControl (pGFP) or shCXCR4D. D γ-H2AX foci assay of A549/GR cells. ICC was performed with the cells transfected with shControl (pGFP) or shCXCR4D using γ-H2AX antibody after exposing to IR (6 Gy) at the indicated time points. Representative immunofluorescence images of A549/GR cells (left) and quantification of the assay (right). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). White bar: 20 μm.
