Human normal colonic epithelial cell line CCD-18Co, human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines (LS174T, HCT116, HCT-15, SW480, LOVO), and human renal epithelial cell line 293T were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, USA). The above cells were kept in DMEM/F12 medium (Gibco, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
Human NK cell line NK92 was bought from ATCC and cultured in Minimum Essential Medium α (MEMα) containing 10% horse serum, 10% FBS, 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin in an incubator (37°C, 5% CO2) [14 (link)]. To activate NK92 cells, they were stimulated with 100 U/ml IL-2 (BD Biosciences, USA) for 24 h.
The oe-E2F7 vector, si-RAD18#1 vector, si-RAD18#2 vector, si-E2F7#1 vector, and si-E2F7#1 vector were purchased from RiboBio (China). Plasmids were transfected into the corresponding CRC cells utilizing the Lipofectamine 2000 kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).
