MATERIALS AND METHODS<br />

2.13 Transfection with ShRNA<br />

MLH1, Rad52 and Control shRNA plasmids were procured from Santa cruz biotechnology (Cat<br />

No. sc-35943-SH, sc-37399-SH and sc-108060 respectively). In a six well tissue culture plate,<br />

A549 cells were grown to 50-70% confluency in antibiotic-free normal growth medium<br />

supplemented with FBS and transfection was carried out as per supplier’s instruction. 48 hours<br />

post-transfection, medium was aspirated and replaced with fresh medium containing puromycin<br />

(2µg/ml) for selection of stably transfected cells. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed to<br />

monitor MLH1 and Rad52 gene expression knockdown using gene specific primers (Table 1).<br />

2.14 Statistical Analysis<br />

The data were imported to excel work sheets, and graphs were made using Origin version 5.0.<br />

One-way ANOVA with Tukey–Kramer Multiple Comparisons as post-test for P < 0.05 used to<br />

study the significant level. Data were insignificant at P > 0.05. Each point represented as<br />

mean±S.E. (standard error of the mean).<br />
