mRNA of RKOp53wt and RKOp53KO cells was isolated with an RNeasy Mini Kit from Qiagen (Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Quality and integrity of mRNA was checked on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer, and only samples with RIN values >9 were included for microarray analysis. Whole genome oligonucleotide-based gene expression microarray analysis was performed using the 4 × 44 K microarray format as described previously [48 (link)]. Dual-color experiments were performed using the Quick Amp Labelling Kit according to the instructions provided (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Slides were scanned on a G2505B Micro Array Scanner (Agilent). Feature Extraction and data analysis were carried out using the Feature Extraction and GeneSpring software (both Agilent).
