In this study, BJ-EHLT fibroblasts were treated with 0.5 µM RHPS4 for 24 hours, 2 µM camptothecin for 2 hours, and exposed to 5 Gy ionizing radiation. Additionally, cells were transfected with 100 nM of siTRF2 and siPOT1 for 48 hours, using siGFP as a negative control. Co-immunofluorescence analysis was performed to visualize γ-H2AX (green) and TRF1 (red) to assess telomere integrity. The percentage of TIFs-positive cells, which have over four γ-H2AX/TRF1 colocalizations, is presented. Results are derived from three independent experiments with standard deviation indicated.

Cells were also transfected with 100 nM of siTRF2 and siPOT1 for 48 hrs. siGFP was used as negative control of transfection. Co-immunofluorescence against -H2AX (green) and TRF1 (red) to mark telomeres in the indicated samples.
