SPL delays the kinetics of DNA repair. (a) Control and SPLhi cells were left untreated or irradiated and harvested 1 or 30 min after radiation exposure. Extent of DNA damage was analyzed by comet assay using alkaline electrophoresis. In each sample, 50 cells were scored. (b) Olive tail moment for control (open bar) and SPLhi (solid bar) cells was analyzed using Komet 6.0 software. (c) Control and SPLlo cells were left untreated or irradiated and harvested 30 min after radiation exposure and comet assay was done using neutral electrophoresis. (d) Olive tail moment for control (open bar) and SPLlo (solid bar) was analyzed. Photomicrographs and histograms are representative of three independent experiments. (b and d) data represents mean ±S.D. of three independent experiments (*P<0.01)
