For DNA transfection, the HepG2, 293, and 293T cells were seeded respectively at 2 × 105, 2 × 105, and 1 × 105 cells / well in 24 - well plates overnight, and then the p53 - TA -
Luc luciferase reporter plasmid and RSV - lacZ plasmids were transiently transfected into the cells using NTRII for 6 h, followed by treatment with the test compounds.
