Damaged mitochondria and overproduction of ROS in Fanconi anemia cells

Article: e24048 | Received 04 Feb 2013, Accepted 19 Feb 2013, Published online: 20 Feb 2013

Figures & data

Figure 1. FA-like cells with non-functional mitochondria are less sensitive to MMC. (A) Rho-zero cells were prepared by incubating HEK 293 cells with ethidium bromide. (B) Depletion of cells from FANCD2 has been performed by double transfection with FANCD2 siRNA. (C) Cells were incubated for 1 h with 0.5uM MMC (final) or vehicle and MMC sensitivity assay was performed following 24 h post-treatment. (D) Cell sensitivity to MMC is increased for mitochondria-depleted rho-zero HEK293 cells vs. cells with functional mitochondria.
