Both human lung cancer cell lines (NCI-H23, and NCI-H2126) and HEK-293 cell line were procured from CAS-China and Microbix Biosystems Inc. respectively (Beijing, China). HEK-293 contains adenovirus (Adv) E1A-region for the replication of CRAd.
Cisplatin-resistant sublines, H23/CPR and H2126/CPR, were developed in our lab as described previously [24 (link)]. Afterward, all cancer cells were maintained in DMEM with 10% FBS and 2% of penicillin-streptomycin (HyCloneTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA USA USA). Doxorubicin (hydrochloride), cisplatin, elacridar, palbociclib, novobiocin, and probenecid were purchased from MedChemExpress (Shanghai, China) while puromycin was from Sigma-Aldrich. CRAd (incorporated with survivin promoter to regulate E1A region of Adv) was developed in our laboratory as described previously [35 (link)]. Ad-Luc expressing the firefly luciferase gene was used as a control.
