*2.10. Cell Culture*

For all experiments, we used the hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell line obtained from Russian Cell Culture Collection, Institute of Cytology of the Russian Academy of Science (St. Petersburg, Russia). Cells were cultivated at 37 ◦C and 5% CO2 in DMEM medium with GlutaMAXTM containing 4.5 g/L glucose, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin (all from GibcoTM by Life Technologies® Corporation, Paisley, UK).
