DCTPP1 modulates intracellular 5-methyl-dCTP concentration. The concentration of intracellular dCTP and 5-methyl-dCTP was determined by LC-MS assay based on the concentration of internal standards. Representative MRM chromatograms of the dCTP calibrators (a, left panel) and 5-methyl-dCTP calibrators (b, left panel) was shown.The calibration curves of dCTP and 5-methyl-dCTP were shown in right panel of (a and b), respectively. The concentration of dCTP and 5-methyl-dCTP in DCTPP1-deficient MCF-7 cells (c) and overexpressed MDA-MB-231 cells (d) was calculated accordingly. The concentration of dCTP and 5-methyl-dCTP in mammospheres formed by DCTPP1 knockdown MCF-7 (e) and DCTPP1-overexpressed MDA-MB-231 cells (f) were also measured by LC-MS assays. All data were collected from at least three independent experiments and each experiment was performed in triplicate.
