cellular
• several markers of DNA damage are increased in MEFs at 72 h after adenoviral cre infection
• blocking progression through the cell cycle by serum starving cells reduces the amount of DNA damage detected
• sensitivity to DNA damage by ionizing radiation is also increased in adenoviral cre infected MEFs
|
• impaired cell cycle progression prior to metaphase in adenoviral cre infected MEFs
• viral cre infected cells display about a 2 h delay in moving from S phase through G2/M and re-entering G1
|
• by 120 h post adenoviral cre infection about 20 - 30% of MEFs are dying
|
• about a 2-fold reduction in BrdU positive MEFs after adenoviral cre infection
