Cultured CEC from aged mice showed higher levels of RNA-G4 than cultured young CEC. (A) CEC were isolated from young (4-m/o) and aged (20-m/o) female mice and cultured. Cells were fixed and stained with antibodies against G4 (BG4) anti against actin, and with the nuclear Hoechst dye. (B) Cultured CEC from young and aged female mice were fixed and incubated with DNaseI to eliminate DNA G4, and then stained with antibodies against G4 (BG4) and against actin, and with the nuclear Hoechst dye. (C,D) BG4 fluorescence intensities were measured. (C) Quantification from (A). Scale bar (Yg), 20 μm; Scale bar (Ag), 40 μm. t-test, *p-value = 0.0116. (D) Quantification from (B). t-test, *p-value = 0.0435. Data were pooled from three independent experiments analyzing 50 cells per condition and experiment.
