Flow cytometry was performed using previously described methods [22 (link), 25 (link)]. HN6 and Cal27 cells transfected with si-lincRNA-p21, lincRNA-p21, or scramble were harvested 48 h after transfection. After incubating with reagents from the Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis kit (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), cells were analysed using a BD FORTASA flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and the FlowJo software. For cell cycle analysis, cells were incubated using the PI/RNase staining kit (BD Biosciences). The subsequent steps were performed as described above.
