The EDU assay was performed as described previously [22 (link)]. In short, cells (1 × 105) were seeded in 24-well plates and cultured for 20 h. After incubation with EDU reagent for 2 h, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (solarbio) and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 (solarbio). Sequentially, cells were counterstained following the manufacturer’s instructions of the EDU assay kit (Beyotime, Biotechnology, China). The images were captured using a laser scanning confocal microscope (Olympus) and then the EDU-positive cells percentage could be calculated.
