flow cytometry was performed using the PI single staining method to conduct cell cycle analysis, as described previously (21 (link)). In general, we collected cells and suspended them in 1×PBS and then we fixed the cells in ethanol at 4°C overnight. Next, the cells were centrifuged for 5 min at 2000 rpm and resuspended 1×PBS and were centrifuged again. The cells were mixed with 500 μL of propidium (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and kept in the dark for 10 min. Then flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, CA, USA) was used to analyze the samples.
