FSGen improves DNA damage repair by upregulating RASSF1A and ERCC1. IEC-6 cells were treated with FSGen for 48 h. (A) mRNA expression of DNA repair pathway-related genes were analyzed by Real-time PCR (two-tailed Student’s t-test, mean ± SD, n = 7). (B) RASSF1A and ERCC1 proteins were analyzed by Western blot. (C) IHC RASSF1A and ERCC1 staining of mice intestine tissues. (two-tailed Student’s t-test, mean ± SD, n = 7). (D) Correlation analysis between RASSF1A with γ-H2AX and ERCC1 with γ-H2AX in the mouse intestine. Mice were pretreated with vehicle (IR) or FSGen (FSGen+IR) and subjected to 7.5 Gy irradiation (Spearman’s rank correlation test, n = 7). (E) Bar graph showing the effect of silencing Rassf1a or/and Ercc1(siRas, siEr, siRas+siEr) on cell viability of pretreated the cells with FSGen and irradiation. (two-tailed Student’s t-test, mean ± SD, n = 7). Cell viability was determined using the CCK-8 assay. A minimum of three independent runs was performed. p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ns, not significant.
