Breast and prostate cancer cells were reverse-transfected with 37.5 nM of Dharmacon siGENOME siRNA using Lullaby reagent (Oz biosciences). After 24 h, culture medium was replaced with either 10 % (full serum) or 1 % (low serum) foetal calf serum (FCS) containing medium. Additional supplementations were included for the experiments indicated. After 72 h, cells were fixed in 80 % ethanol over night at −20 °C. Plates were subsequently stained with DAPI (Sigma), and cell number was determined using the ACUMEN X3 microplate cytometer.
