KPsh cells (kindly donated by Scott W Lowe) derive from PDAC that developed in a Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;Col1a1-TRE-shp53-shRenilla;Rosa26-CAGs-LSL-rtTA-IRES-mKate2 mice [25 (link)]. Cells were grown in DMEM (10% FBS Gibco; penicillin–streptomycin 2 units/ml) at 37 °C, 5% CO2 and they were propagated on collagen-coated plates (PurCol, Advanced Biomatrix, 0.1 mg/ml). KPsh were maintained in 1 μg/ml doxycycline to keep off p53 through doxycycline-dependent shRNA against Trp53; to allow p53 expression the doxycycline was removed 48 h before further procedure. KPsh cells have been authenticated as described in the source papers (references above); we also confirm p53 status by RT-qPCR or western blot.
