To generate Pin1-depleted cells, cells were infected with retrovirus vector carrying Pin1-specific shRNA (Ryo et al., 2005). For the production of retroviruses, Plat-E cells (Morita et al., 2000) were transduced with pSUPER.retro vector and pVSV-G with Effectene reagent (Qiagen). After 48 h, cell supernatants were filtrated with a 0.45-μm filter and added with 10 μg/ml Polybrene. Target cells were then selected with 1 μg/ml puromycin (InvivoGen).
