As described in our previous studies [29 (link)], lentiviral particles containing the p53-shRNA-1 (Santa Cruz, sc-29435-V), p53 shRNA-2 (Genechem, Shanghai, China) or AMPKα1 shRNA (Santa Cruz, sc-29673-V) (10 μL/well) were added to cultured CRC cells for 24 h. Afterwards, cell culture medium was replaced with puromycin (0.5 μg/mL)-containing complete medium. The medium was renewed every 2-3 days until resistant stable colonies were formed. Expression of targeted protein (AMPKα1 and p53) was always determined by Western-blots in resulting stable cells. Same amount of scramble control shRNA lentiviral particles (Santa Cruz, sc-108080) were added to control cells.
