Oxidative stress–induced formation of the FANCD2-FOXO3a complex. (A) FOXO3a colocalizes with FANCD2 after H2O2 treatment in normal (JY) lymphoblasts. Cells were treated with H2O2 (0.5mM) for 6 hours and stained with antibodies against FOXO3a and FANCD2. Colocalization of nuclear FOXO3a with FANCD2 is shown as merged images. (B) Whole-cell lysates of normal lymphoblasts (JY) and HeLa cells treated with 0.5mM H2O2 for 6 hours were subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with an anti-FANCD2 antibody or an isotype IgG (negative control) followed by immunoblotting (IB) analysis with antibodies against FOXO3a, FOXO1, FOXO4, and FANCD2. (C) HeLa cells were transduced with vector or Flag-FOXO3a and treated with 0.5mM H2O2 for 6 hours. Cell lysates were prepared, immunoprecipitated using anti-Flag agarose, separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunoblotted. Blots were probed with antibodies against FANCD2 or Flag. (D) Normal human lymphoblasts (JY) were treated with H2O2 (0.5mM for 6 hours), IR (5 Gy), or MMC (0.5μM for 18 hours), and whole-cell lysates were subjected to IP with an anti-FANCD2 antibody or an isotype IgG (negative control) followed by IB analysis with antibodies against FOXO3a and FANCD2. (E) HSC72 (human FA-A lymphoblast) cells were transduced with retrovirus carrying empty vector (MIEG3) or FANCA, and treated with H2O2 at 0.5mM for 6 hours. Cell extracts were subjected to IP with an anti-FANCD2 antibody or an isotype IgG (negative control) followed by IB analysis with antibodies against FOXO3a and FANCD2. (F) PD20 (human FA-D2 lymphoblast) cells transduced with retrovirus carrying empty vector wt-FANCD2 or K561R-FANCD2 were treated with H2O2 at 0.5mM for 6 hours. Cell extracts were prepared, immunoprecipitated using anti-Flag antibody conjugated to agarose, separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunoblotted with antibodies against FANCD2 and FOXO3a.
