Fasting, FDFT1 expression and colorectal cancer

First, lentivirus-mediated overexpression of FDFT1 and lentivirus-mediated knockdown of FDFT1 were performed in CT26 cells. Then control CT26 cells, FDFT1 overexpressing CT26 cells and FDFT1 knockdown CT26 cells were cultured under normal medium or fasting mimic medium. Fasting mimic medium was done by incubating cells in glucose-free DMEM (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 0.5g/L glucose and 1% FBS for 48h. So we have 6 groups: control CT26 cells, FDFT1 overexpressing CT26 cells, FDFT1 knockdown CT26 cells, control CT26 cells-under fasting mimic medium, FDFT1 overexpressing CT26 cells- under fasting mimic medium, FDFT1 knockdown CT26 cells- under fasting mimic medium.
