Luciferase assays were performed as described in our previous study [22 (link)]. Briefly, HEK293T cells were cotransfected with each lincRNA-p21 promoter-luciferase construct and pRL-TK promoter Renilla luciferase construct in the vector group, wild-type p53 group and mutant p53 group for 48 h. Whole-cell lysates were extracted, and luciferase activity was determined using a dual luciferase reporter assay system (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A pRL-TK promoter Renilla luciferase construct was used as an internal control.
