IF analysis was performed as described [31 (link)]. Cells grown on cover-glasses were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100, and blocked with 5% bovine serum. Then the cells were incubated with antibodies against Ki67 (1:500, Abcam, USA) overnight at 4°C, followed by Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:500, Abcam, USA). Nuclei were dyed by DAPI and images were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Leica, Germany).
