cDNA was synthesised using
High‐Capacity RNA‐to‐cDNA™ Kit (Applied Biosystems #4387406). qRT–PCR was performed using
Taqman gene expression assay (Thermo Fisher #4304437) with following
Taqman primers (Thermo Fisher): Hs01045540_g1 (ARC), Hs00156548_m1 (CLU), Hs00610256_g1 (DUSP1), Hs01044001_m1 (DUSP6), Hs00152928_m1 (EGR1), Hs00166165_m1 (EGR2), Hs00170630_m1 (FOS), Hs00171851_m1 (FOSB), Hs04187685_m1 (FOSL1), Hs00357891_s1 (JUNB), Hs00374226_m1 (NR4A1), Hs00943178_g1 (PGK1), Hs00169585_m1 (PPP1R15A), Hs00153133_m1 (PTGS2), Hs04334126_m1 (TFPI2), Hs00959047_g1 (TNFRSF12A), Hs00381614_m1 (ZCCHC12), Hs00185658_m1 (ZFP36).
Protein was extracted using Bio‐Rad
Cell Lysis Buffer (#171‐304006M). Concentration was determined using Thermo Fisher Pierce BCA Protein Assay (#23228). 25–50 μg of purified protein was used for blotting. Images were acquired using Li‐Cor Odyssey Scanner. Western blot antibodies were as follows: EGR1 (Santa Cruz sc‐110), FOS (Cell Signaling #2250), CLU (Santa Cruz sc‐8354), FOSL1 (Santa Cruz sc‐376148).
For flow cytometry, cells were harvested 48 h after treatment and fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min at RT. Cells were permeabilised in methanol and incubated on ice for 30 min. For immunostaining, cells were incubated for 1 h with
Cleaved Caspase‐3 rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling #9602).
