The SKOV3 cell line (ATCC, USA) was used as an in vitro model for OvCa. Cells were grown in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) media supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). Cell lines were cultured at 37 °C, in 5% CO2 environment. siRNA targeted to RAD51AP1 (SMARTpool: ON-TARGETplus, Dharmacon, CO, USA) was used to suppress RAD51AP1 gene/protein expression in SKOV3 cells, as previously described [3 (link)].
