Hypoxia-reoxygenation increases expression of senescence-associated proteins. (A) Reoxygenated Fancc–/– LTBMC cells showed strong immunostaining for p53 and p21Waf1. The hematopoietic cells harvested from a 2-week LTBMC were stained with the antibodies against p53 and p21Waf1 and then counterstained with DAPI. Representative photomicrographs of p53 and p21Waf1 immunofluorescent staining are shown. (B) Expression of p53 and p21Waf1 as analyzed by immunoblotting. Equal loading was ensured by reprobing the blot with antibody for β-actin. (C) Reoxygenated Fancc–/– LTBMC cells increased moderately the accumulation of p16Ink4a, but not p19Arf. The hematopoietic cells harvested from a 2-week LTBMC were stained with the antibodies against p16Ink4a and p19Arf. (D) Expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf in WT and Fancc–/– LTBMC cells, as analyzed by RT-PCR.
