The absorbance value of BC cells at the wavelength of 450 nm was recorded using CCK-8 at the indicated time points to plot the growth curves. In terms of the colony formation assay, BC cells (1000 cells/well) were seeded into 6-well plates, which were then routinely cultured for two weeks before their fixed staining. Cells were stained using EdU reagent and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to capture the cell proliferation signals under a fluorescence microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).
