Growth medium and subconfluent cells were collected, washed in PBS and fixed in ice-cold 70% ethanol at 4°C over night. Cells were then washed twice in ice-cold PBS, stained with 20 μg/ml propidium iodide (PI, Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS, supplemented with 60 μg/ml RNAse A (Sigma-Aldrich), for 30 min at room temperature and analyzed with a BD LSR II multi-laser analytical flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Cell cycle data was analyzed by ModFit LT 3.2 software (Verity Software House, Topsham, USA).
