Detection of γH2AX signal by confocal microscopy. (A) Representative images of γH2AX signal in parental HaCaT and HaCaT E5/E6/E7-18 cells in normoxia and under treatment with coverslips for 24 h. Scale bar: 20 μm. (B) Quantification of γH2AX intensity (mean ± SD) in normoxia and coverslip induced hypoxia for HaCaT parental and HaCaT E5/E6/E7-18 cells. Three independent experiments were conducted. Mean ± SD is shown for each cell line. For all experiments, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was conducted to assess statistical significance among groups along with Tukey’s HSD test for intra-group comparison (*) P < 0.05, (**) P < 0.01, (***) P < 0.001, (****) p < 0.0001.
