TonEBP resolves R-loops. (A and B) Cells transfected with siRNA as indicated were irradiated with UV (60 J/m2) and analyzed at 2 or 15 min after UV-irradiation. R loop and nucleoli were visualized by immunostaining (A). R-loop foci per nucleus were counted from >80 nuclei in three independent experiments (B). Mean ± SD, *P < 0.01. Mean values are shown as numbers. (C and D) siRNA-transfected cells were either untreated (no CPT) or treated with 10 μM CPT for 3 h and analyzed immediately or after 3 h further incubation in fresh media without CPT.
