Figure Lengend Snippet: A. PG13-luc reporter assay in cancer cells. HCT116 p53-null cells and U2OS-p53KO were transiently transfected with p-CMV-Neo-Bam-p53wt and PG13-luc together with the plasmids as indicated for 20 hours. B. PG13-luc reporter assay. U2OS-p53KO cells were transfected with the plasmids as indicated, followed with 10 μM of nutlin-3a treatment for 4 hours. C. Cell cycle profiling in HCT116 cells transiently transfected with the plasmids as indicated for 72 hours.
Article Snippet: The plasmids pcDNA3.1-SARS2-spike (#145032) and p-CMV-Neo-Bam-p53wt (#16434) were obtained from Addgene.
