HCT116 cells cytotoxicity (WST-1 assay) with (squares 5 mJ/cm2, triangles 125 mJ/cm2) and without (circles) UVA radiation after exposure to different G4 ligands CX-5461 (a), CX-3543 (b), PDS (c), BRACO-19 (d), and PhenDC3 (e). ae Representative experiments from triplicate biological repeats are displayed as individual data points with fitted sigmoid curves. Vertical axis, fractional survival, horizontal axis log10 drug concentration (M) (f) Representative images of CPD immunofluorescent staining under UV and drug treatment conditions for U2OS cells, quantified from biological duplicates in (g) (h) Scale bar = 100um. U2OS cells were treated with drug or vehicle control, then immediately irradiated with UVA 125 mJ/cm2; and fixed 1 h later for immunofluorescence staining with CPD antibody. g Distribution of mean intensity of CPD level per cell (total n = in labels), with two biological repeats per condition. Vertical axis, mean CPD intensity per cell, horizontal axis, conditions (h) WT or KO XPA HAP1 cells assayed for cytotoxicity. Vertical axis, fractional survival (WST-1 assay). The horizontal axis, log10 drug concentration (M). Error bars = standard deviation of the mean. Three biological repeats per condition.
