Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 DNA damage accumulation in diploid and polyploid cells. A–D RPE1-Fucci cells were treated with DCB (10 μM) for 2 days. Microscopic images and histograms indicating the DNA content of G1 phase cells are shown in A. Neutral comet assay, representative immunofluorescence images, and the number of γH2AX- or 53BP1-positive foci per cell (n = 155 in control and 71 in DCB) are shown in B, C, and D, respectively. E–G Analysis of DNA damage accumulation in sorted Huh7-Fucci cells. G1 diploid, G1 polyploid, and S/G2/M cells were sorted using FACS from Huh7-Fucci cells cultured under normal conditions. Immunofluorescence images, the number of 53BP1-positive foci per cell (n = 50), and olive tail moments in neutral comet assay are shown in E, F, and G, respectively. In all dot plots, data were obtained from three or more independent experiments. Error bars represent the standard deviations of the mean. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Student’s t-test. Scale bars, 50 μm in A and 10 μm in C, E.
