To observe the effect of p16INK4a on the cell cycle, CMs were treated with Ad5-cTNT-INK4a or Ad5-cTNT-INK4a RNAi for 48 hours, and control virus groups were established. CMs were digested with 0.25% trypsin without EDTA and centrifuged (1200 rpm, 5 min, 4°C). Then, the cells were washed twice using precooled PBS and resuspended with 70% ethanol. The ethanol suspension was stored overnight in a 4°C refrigerator for cell fixation. Finally, PINase staining buffer (BD Biosciences, USA) was used for dyeing and flow cytometry detection.
