ac SOD1 knockdown causes delocalization of BOP1 from pre-rRNA. Mouse NSCLC cells were transfected with mouse SOD1 siRNA (siSOD1) or a control siRNA (siNC). BOP1 and pre-rRNA were stained by IF and RNA-FISH, respectively. Scale bar represents 10 μm. Data are represented by three independent experiments. df SOD1 knockdown causes delocalization of BOP1 from pre-rRNA. Human KP and KL NSCLC cells were transfected with human SOD1 siRNA (siSOD1) or a control siRNA (siNC). BOP1 and pre-rRNA were stained by IF and RNA-FISH, respectively. Scale bar represents 10 μm. Data are represented by three independent experiments. g Sod1 knockout impairs pre-rRNA processing. Total RNA was isolated from Sod1Flox/Flox and Sod1+/+ KP cells treated with or without 4OHT. Total RNA separated by agarose gel was transferred to a membrane that was stained for 18S/28S total rRNAs by ethidium bromide (EtBr, left panel) and hybridized with a radiolabeled mouse mITS2 probe (right panel). h SOD1 knockdown impairs pre-rRNA processing. Total RNA was isolated from human NSCLC cells (KP: H1155, Calu-1; KL: H2030, A549), human normal lung fibroblasts (WI38), and human normal lung epithelial cells (Beas2B) transfected with human SOD1 siRNA (Sod1) or a control siRNA (nc). RNA separated by agarose gel was hybridized with radiolabeled human probes specific for the human 5′-ETS and ITS2 regions of pre-rRNAs, and 5′-regions of mature 28S and 18S rRNAs. The ratio for 12S/32S and 47S/18S is shown.
