Loss of rad51 causes DNA damage sensitivity. (A) Chromosome spreads of 24 hpf wild type and mutant embryos treated with 5 μg/ml mitomycin C for 20 hours. White arrows indicate premature chromatid separation events (i). Quantification of the damage (ii). Mann- Whitney test, P=.001, n+/+=16, n-/-=19. (B) Chromosome spreads of 24 hpf wild type and mutant embryos treated with 1 nM CPT for 20 hours. White arrows indicate breaks and radial structures in response to topoisomerase inhibition (i). Quantification of the damage (ii). Mann-Whitney test, P<.0001, n+/+=12, n-/-=17. (C) Chromosome spreads of 24 hpf wild type and mutant embryos treated with 10μ μM DiQ for 20 hours (i). Quantification of the damage (ii). Mann-Whitney test, P=.13, n+/+=14, n-/-=29. Bars represent mean +/- SEM in all graphs. |
