Figure Lengend Snippet: SAD2 diet promotes changes in DNA damage and response markers. Immunofluorescence was used to measure various types of DNA damage and response markers in MMTV tumors from individual mice ( n = 7 normal chow and n = 8 SAD2). ( A ) Forkhead box M1 (Foxm1), ( B ) poly-ADP ribose (PAR), ( C ) DNA polymerase beta (Polβ), and ( D ) apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (Ape1). The intensity levels were evaluated using a binary threshold to detect the fluorescence intensity. The graphs are displayed as the means ± SEMs via GraphPad Prism, and the significance levels are as follows: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001. The images are representative, and the scale bar is 100 μm
Article Snippet: The following dilutions were used for each antibody: forkhead box M1 (Foxm1) (1:500, 13147-1-AP, ProteinTech, Rosemont, IL, USA), poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) (1:200, ab14460, Abcam), DNA polymerase beta (Polβ) (1:200, ab26343, Abcam), apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (Ape1) (1:200, ab189474, Abcam), advanced glycation end products (AGE) (1:500, ab23722, Abcam), methylglyoxal (MG) (1:200, MABN1838, Millipore Sigma, Burlington, MA, USA), tumor suppressor p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1), (1:500, NB100-304, Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, USA) and glucose transporter 1 (Glut1) (1:100, ab115730, Abcam).
