( a ) Representative metaphase spread image of HeLa1.2.11 cells infected with lentivirus expressing GFP or TRF2. Infected cells were passaged and collected at PD7 for metaphase spread followed by FISH analysis. Chromosomes (blue) were hybridized with PNA probes for telomeric sequences (green) or centromeric sequences (red). Regions in white boxes are enlarged to the bottom of the corresponding image for better visualization. Yellow arrows indicate signal-free telomeres; arrowhead indicates chromosome end-to-end fusions. For b and c , 50 metaphases (∼3,360 chromosomes) each of GFP- or TRF2-overexpressing cells were examined for telomeric abnormality. All quantifications were carried out blindly. Each point on the scatter plot represents a single metaphase. Mean values are indicated in red. Two-tailed Student's t -tests were performed to make pairwise comparison for statistical significance. ( b ) Quantification of signal-free telomeres in HeLa1.2.11 cells overexpressing GFP or TRF2. ( c ) Quantification of chromosome end-to-end fusions in HeLa1.2.11 cells overexpressing GFP or TRF2.

Multiple aliquots of 100 ng of genomic DNA were independently subjected to fusion PCR using a mix of XpYp, 17p and 21q subtelomeric primers. PCR products were resolved on 1% agarose-TBE gel and detected by Southern hybridization with an XpYp-specific subtelomeric probe.

( a ) Formation of thinly stretched telomere bridges between anaphase chromosomes in HeLa1.2.11 cells overexpressing TRF2. Telomeric DNAs were detected by in situ hybridization with a PNA telomeric probe (red). Chromosomes were stained with DAPI (blue). ( b ) Quantification of telomeric anaphase bridges and chromosome end-to-end fusions in HeLa1.2.11 cells overexpressing TRF2 at PD3 and PD7. HeLa1.2.11 cells were infected with lentiviruses expressing TRF2. Parallel cultures were collected at PD3 or PD7 for PNA telomere-FISH to examine telomeric anaphase bridges or for metaphase spreading followed by PNA telomere-FISH to examine chromosome end-to-end fusions. ( c ) Quantification of fragile telomeres in HeLa1.2.11 cells overexpressing GFP control or TRF2 at PD3. Cells were collected for metaphase spreading followed by PNA telomere-FISH to examine fragile telomeres. Representative fragile telomeres are labelled by yellow arrows on images at the left panel. All quantifications were carried out blindly. For b and c , mean values are indicated in red. Two-tailed Student's t -tests were performed to make pairwise comparison for statistical significance. ( d ) TRF2 overexpression stalled replication at telomeres. Representative chromatin fibre FISH images showed the incorporation of IdU (blue) or CldU (green) at telomeric (red) and adjacent subtelomeric regions in LOX cells infected with lentiviruses expressing luciferase control or TRF2. At PD3, cells in logarithmic growth were labelled sequentially with 30 μM of IdU and then CldU for 4 h each before Chromatin fibre-FISH analysis was carried out. Telomeres were identified by FISH with a telomeric repeat probe. IdU and CldU were identified by immunostaining with analogue-specific antibodies. Dotted line represents the start of telomeric sequences. We did not see dual IdU and CldU labelling at replicating telomeres due to the long labelling time (4 h) used for each halogenated nucleotide. ( e ) Quantification of fraction of telomeric fragments that was labelled with CldU and/or IdU. For control of stalled replication, cells were treated with 1 μg ml −1 aphidicolin for 16 h before they were labelled with IdU and CldU in the presence of aphidicolin (see for representative images).

( a ) Long telomere length exacerbates TRF2-induced telomeric UFBs. Left panel: quantification of telomeric UFBs in cells with different mean telomere lengths. Approximately 50 anaphases from each cell line were analysed for telomeric UFBs. Mean values are indicated in red. Two-tailed Student's t -tests were performed to make pairwise comparison for statistical significance. No telomeric UFBs were detected in HeLa1.2.11 and HT1080 cells infected with lentivirus overexpressing GFP. Telomeres in UM-UC-3 cells (∼3 kb) were pre-extended by expression of the telomerase RNA subunit (hTR) for 11 days (to ∼8 kb) and 20 days (to ∼15 kb). Cells were infected with lentivirus expressing TRF2, and then fixed for telomeric FISH 48 h after infection. TRF2 overexpression did not induce any telomeric UFBs in control UM-UC-3 cells that were infected with an empty lentiviral vector. Right panel: terminal restriction fragment analysis in UM-UC-3 cells expressing vector control or hTR using a telomeric repeat probe. ( b ) TRF2 overexpression fails to induce telomere shortening in cells containing very short telomere length.
