HEK293T was maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Every 3 to 4 days, cells were trypsinized, diluted (1 to 5), and plated onto new dish to avoid high confluency. For confocal imaging, cells were plated on a 96-well glass bottom plate (P96-1.5H-N, Cellvis), which was precoated with poly-l-lysine (Sigma), and 150 ng per well of total plasmids were transfected with Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies, 11668027) following manufacturer’s recommended protocol. Actinomycin D (2 to 5 μg/ml, A1410, Sigma), PF9366 (5 to 20 μM, HY-107778, MedChemExpress), and/or ADOX (40 μM, S8608, Selleckchem) were pretreated for 4 hours before imaging. DMSO was used as vehicle control. SAM (S-Adenosyl-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate, NA04017, Carbosynth) were supplied to PF9366-pretreated cells 1 hour before imaging (3 hours after PF9366 treatment), together with PF9366. p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (Sigma) was used as vehicle control for SAM.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
