Figure 2. Knockdown of HEATR1 leads to impaired proliferation and induces p53-dependent cell cycle arrest A. U2OS cells were transfected with control or HEATR1 siRNAs and 100000 cells were seeded. Cell counts were determined at the indicated time points after transfection. Error bars represent SDs, n = 3. Significance determined by two-tailed student's t-test: * P<0,05. B. U2OS cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs and cell cycle profiles were assessed by flow cytometry 72 h after transfection. Results are representative of three independent experiments. C. U2OS cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs and labeled with 10 μM 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) for 30 min. The cells were fixed and incorporated EdU was visualized by click chemistry. The nuclei were stained by DAPI. Results are representative of three independent experiments. Bar, 10 µm.
