Figure Lengend Snippet: TSF and Rg3 regulate HDAC8/BRCA2/DRP1 pathway inhibits DOX‐induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. (a) Apoptosis was assessed using TUNEL staining (Scale bar = 50 μm). (b) The results of western blotting for each group. (c) The expression of Bcl‐2 for each group. (d) The expression of DRP1 for each group. (e) The expression of HDAC8 for each group. (f) The expression of BRCA2 for each group. (g) Immunofluorescence staining for observing the colocalization of HDAC8, BRCA2, and DRP1 (Scale bar = 1 mm). Data are expressed as mean ± standard from three individual experiments. Data analysis among groups was performed using ANOVA, with LSD for equal variances and Dunnett’s‐T3 for unequal variances, with significance levels of * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.

Article Title: Differential sensitivity of MCPH1- and BRCA2-deficient cancer cells to PARP-1 inhibition

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0345514

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) . U2OS or Hela cells were transfected with Control (siCON), MCPH1 (siMCPH1) or BRCA2 (siBRCA2) siRNA for 48h or 120h and protein expression analysed via Western blotting with the indicated antibodies. MCPH1 expression in sgCON (control) and sgMCPH1 (MCPH1 knockout) cells was also investigated by Western blotting. (B) Quantification of MCPH1 or BRCA2 protein bands normalised to GAPDH and expressed as % change relative to siCON or sgCON. Data is the mean and standard error of three (48h) or two (120h and sgCON/sgMCPH1) independent experiments. (C) U2OS or Hela cells were transfected with MCPH1 siRNA for 72h before analysis of nuclear morphology (premature chromosome condensation, PCC) via DAPI staining and fluorescence microscopy. (D) The % of cells displaying PCC, with at least 100 cells analysed.

Article Title: Differential sensitivity of MCPH1- and BRCA2-deficient cancer cells to PARP-1 inhibition

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0345514

Figure Lengend Snippet: U2OS cells were transfected with control (siCON), BRCA2 (siBRCA2) or BRCA2 + MCPH1 (siBRCA2 + siMCPH1) siRNA for 48h before (A) Western blot analysis or (B) seeding into 96-well plates and treating with the indicated doses of AZD2461 or Talazoparib, with each treatment performed in triplicate. After 96-hours, cell viability was measured using an MTS assay. MTS data represents the mean and standard error from at least three independent experiments, with cell viability expressed as a % relative to the corresponding untreated sample. Statistical significance was measured using two-way ANOVA (p-values described in text, with significance set at p < 0.05).
