Effects of oxygen levels on the number of repair foci in sham-irradiated and 4 Gy irradiated p53wt/wt mMSCs. (a) Sham-irradiated (0 Gy) γH2AX foci formation under normoxic cultures (right upper image) and hypoxic cultures (left upper image) and additionally 90 min after exposure to 4 Gy γ-irradiation (lower images). (b) Quantification of γH2AX foci in 50 p53wt/wt mMSC nuclei depicted as mean values ± standard error of the mean (3 biological replicates).
