U2OS TRE cell line was described before as U2OS SCE 19 (20 (link)). In this cell line, 200 copies of pTRE/I-SceI were integrated in U2OS cells. Another U2OS 263 (a control cell line harboring 200 copies of the TRE element) (21 (link)) was used. Both cell lines were cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS at 37°C. Plasmids were transfected with Fugene-6 (Life Technology). The PARP inhibitors PJ34 (Sigma) or Olaparib (Sigma) were used. ROS scavengers NAC (500 mM/NaOH) (N-acetylcysteine) (Sigma), and MnTBAP (Enzo Life Science) were used. NAC (500 mM in NaOH) treatment was used with a 20 mM final concentration, and MnTBAP (100 mM/DMSO) was used with a 100 µM final concentration in PBS for 1 h. H2O2 (Sigma) treatment was used at the indicated concentration in PBS for 1 h. siFEN1 to target the UTR region (Thermo Scientific, A-010344-14) and siPARP1 (Thermo Scientific, E-006656-00) were transfected with DharmaFECT transfection regent (Thermo Scientific, T-2001-02). RNA polymerase II inhibitor 5,6-dichloro-1 -β-d -ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB) (Sigma) stock concentration is 20 mM; final concentration used is 20 µM, added to cells for 24 h before irradiation or other treatment.
