Fig. 6. Loss of Cdk2 leads to premature transcriptional activation of
Cdk1. (A,B) The β-galactosidase staining
pattern in regenerating livers of Cdk2+/+
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Aa-d) and Cdk2-/-
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Ba-d) mice at the indicated time points.
(C,D) Immunohistochemical BrdU staining pattern in the
regenerating livers of Cdk2+/+ (Ca,Da),
Cdk2-/- (Cb,Db), Cdk2+/+
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Cc,Dc) and Cdk2-/-
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Cd,Dd) mice at the indicated time points.
(E) Bar chart showing the percentage of BrdU-positive liver cells at
the indicated time points in regenerating livers of
Cdk2+/+, Cdk2-/-, Cdk2+/+
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI and Cdk2-/-
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI mice after 70% PH. The average and s.d. (error
bars) were calcualted after counting a minimum of 3000 nuclei from several
low-power fields per sample from each genotype. For each time point, four mice
were analysed. Scale bar: 100 µm.
