HEK293T cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Merck) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (Merck), 2 mM GlutaMAX (Gibco) and 10 mM Hepes (Gibco). HEK293T’s were seeded at a density of 200,000 cells per 6-well. The next day, cells were transfected with 5 nM Silencer Select siRNA (Thermo Fisher; siNeg, siFUS) using calcium-phosphate (Takara). Media was changed at 24 h and samples were collected 72 h post-transfection.
