Figure 1A. In 9 patients demonstrating complete single-unit dominance from 28 days after CBT, the unit responsible for sustained donor hematopoiesis is indicated in green whereas nonengrafting units are shown in red. Only 1 patient with complete unit dominance demonstrated TL maintenance after transplantation with a mean percentage TL gain of 11.5% (indicated with the asterisk).

Fig 3. Depletion of mtp53 modulates PARP localization and PARP enzymatic activity. (A) Cells MDA-468 vector and MDA-468.shp53 were grown in the presence or absence of 8 μg of doxycycline for 6 d, and fractionation was carried out as described. Samples were resolved on a gradient 4–12% SDS/PAGE. Protein levels of p53, PARP1, Actin, and Fibrillarin in the fractions were determined by Western blot analysis. Actin was used to normalize the cytoplasmic and nuclear-soluble fractions, and fibrillarin was used to normalize the chromatin fraction. A total of 50 μg of protein from the cytoplasmic fraction and nuclear-soluble fractions per lane and 5 μg of the chromatin fraction per lane were resolved. ImageJ was used to quantify p53 and PARP1 change in each fraction compared with the corresponding control. (B) Confocal microscopy images of PAR proteins were obtained by using anti-PAR antibody. DAPI staining was used to determine the nucleus, and GFP was an indicator of doxycycline-mediated induction. Images are representative of three independent experiments.

The efficacy of the shRNA constructs in depleting BRCA1 (A) and BRCA2 (B) was determined by immunoblotting (actin served as loading control) and confirmed by immunofluorescence. (C) Confocal microscopic images of cell clones using immunofluorescent staining for BRCA1 and BRCA2. Wild type (empty vector) and BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficient MCF-7 cells were irradiated (10 Gy) and 4 h later, the cells were fixed and processed for BRCA1 (red) or BRCA2 (green) immunofluorescence. The nuclei were identified by DAPI staining (blue). (D) Relative survival of BRCA1- or BRCA2-deficient cells after exposure to IR. Data are the mean and SE of the mean from three independent experiments. The survival of BRCA1- and BRCA2-deficient cells relative to wild type MCF-7 at 6 Gy was compared for statistical significance. (E) Formation of Rad51 foci (green) in response to DNA damage induced by IR. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Representative nuclei are displayed from either untreated or irradiated cells. Quantification of the percentage of foci positive cells is shown (mean and SE of the mean from three independent experiments).

Fig 1. Basic components and operation of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). When a user inhales from the ENDS device, airflow is detected by a sensor. The sensor activates a heating element that pulls the e-liquid stored in the cartridge into the vaporization chamber where it is aerosolized (ie, turned from e-liquid into a fine mist of liquid droplets, often referred to as a vapor). The aerosolized e-liquid is then inhaled by the user. In some models, activation of the sensor also powers the indicator light, which simulates the glow of burning tobacco. In manually operated models, the heating element is activated by pressing a button.
