![Figure 6. The proliferation and survival defects of mature T cells from p57-deficient mice are not rescued by additional ablation of p53. (A) Number of TCRβ-positive cells among splenocytes from individual Lck-Cre/p57[+]/+, Lck-Cre/p57[+]/F, and Lck-Cre/p57[+]/F/p53−/− mice at 7 weeks of age (n = 3). (B) Splenic CD3+ T cells from Lck-Cre/p57[+]/+ and Lck-Cre/p57[+]/F mice at 8 weeks of age were stimulated with anti-CD3ε (5 μg/mL) for the indicated times, after which the abundance of p21, Noxa, and Bax mRNAs was determined by RT and real-time PCR analysis. Normalized data are expressed relative to the corresponding value for cells from control mice at time 0 and are means ± SD for 3 mice. (C-D) Splenic CD3+ T cells from Lck-Cre/p57[+]/+, Lck-Cre/p57[+]/F, Lck-Cre/p57[+]/+/p53−/−, and Lck-Cre/p57[+]/F/p53−/− mice at 7 weeks of age were stimulated with anti-CD3ε for 36 hours and exposed to BrdU during the final 1 hour of incubation. They were then stained with anti-BrdU and propidium iodide, and the percentages of BrdU-positive cells (C) and of sub-G1 (apoptotic) cells (D) were determined by flow cytometry. Data are means ± SD for 3 mice. (E) Splenic CD3+ T cells from Lck-Cre/p57[+]/+ and Lck-Cre/p57[+]/F mice at 8 weeks of age were stimulated as in panel B, after which the abundance of caspase-8 and Bid mRNAs was determined by RT and real-time PCR analysis.
