The cells were grown on coverslips in 24 well plates and incubated with respective drug or inhibitor for 24 h. They were then washed with PBS, fixed with chilled methanol-EDTA for 10 min and rehydrated with PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Successively, the cells were treated with DAPI (0.5 μg/ml) for 2 min in the dark. The coverslips were then mounted on fluoromount G and viewed at 40X in the UV region using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX71).
