Cells were blocked with 5 mg/ml BSA in 1X PBS for 30 min and then incubated with primary antibody phospho-histone H2AX Ser139 20E3 (Cell Signaling #9718, 1:500) for 2 h at room temperature. After washing with 5 mg/ml BSA in 1X PBS, cells were incubated with secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit Alexa488, Thermo Fisher Scientific, A-11008, 1:300) for 1 h at room temperature in the dark. Cells were washed with 5 mg/ml BSA in 1X PBS, centrifuged, and stained with the PI solution for 30 min at RT in the dark. For the PI solution, PI and RNase were diluted in 5 mg/ml BSA in 1X PBS to final concentrations of 20 µg/ml and 100 µg/ml, respectively. About 50,000 cells/samples were analyzed by FACS on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) using FL1 (yH2AX) and FL3 (PI) channels.

The early recruitment of p53 and its interaction with γH2AX was probed by Duolink In Situ Orange Starter Kit Mouse/Rabbit (Millipore-Sigma) following the manufacturer’s instructions. In this assay, the fixed samples were probed with primary antibodies against phospho-histone H2A.X Ser139 (20E3) (Cell Signaling Technology, #9718) and p53 (DO-1) (Millipore-Sigma, #MABE327). The image acquisition was performed on an Olympus Spin-SR10 spinning disk confocal. Images were collected using z-stacks in combination with a tile scan. Maximum intensity z-projection were used for quantifying average PLA foci count per cell. The quantification was performed using a homemade FIJI macro.

Tissue samples were fixed overnight in 10% neutral‐buffered formalin (4% formaldehyde in solution; Sigma), paraffin‐embedded, sectioned at a thickness of 3 μm, mounted in Superfrost®plus slides and dried. Slides were deparaffinized in xylene and re‐hydrated through a series of graded ethanol until water. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) for the visualization of the tissue architecture. For immunohistochemistry, sections were stained with a Rabbit mAb Phospho‐Histone H2A.X (Ser139) (20E3) (Cell Signaling, ref: 9718). Slides were dehydrated, cleared, and mounted with toluene‐free mounting medium for microscopic evaluation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
