The procedure starts with the isolation of genomic DNA from cultured cells using a standard proteinase K digestion method. However, prior to DNA extraction, cells must be cultured for a limited duration to allow for nuclease expression to induce cleavage of the bait break-site and for translocation of bait broken ends to prey DSBs. Prey DSBs can be generated by endogenous mechanisms (e.g. activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) or recombination activating gene 1/2 (RAG) cleavage sites, transcriptional start sites, etc.) or ectopic mechanisms (e.g. nuclease-generated DSBs). The numerous approaches available to generate cells with bait DSBs (e.g. transfection, viral transduction, nucleofection) are not described in this procedure but are described elsewhere for commonly used cell lines6 (link),7 ,9 (link),10 (link).
Genomic DNA is sheared by sonication and the bait-prey junctions are then amplified by LAM-PCR16 , using directional primers lying on one or the other side of the bait break-site (or sites). LAM-PCR with a single 5’ biotinylated primer amplifies across the bait sequence into the unknown prey sequence (Fig. 1b). Junction-containing ssDNAs are enriched via binding to streptavidin-coated magnetic beads (Fig. 1b). After washing, bead-bound ssDNAs are unidirectionally ligated to a bridge adapter18 (link). Adapter-ligated, bead-bound ssDNA fragments are then subjected to nested PCR to incorporate a barcode sequence necessary for de-multiplexing (Fig. 1b). Following an optional blocking digest to suppress the potentially large number of uncut and/or perfectly rejoined or minimally-modified bait sequences (Figs. 1b and 2a,b), a final PCR step fully reconstructs Illumina Miseq adapter sequences at the ends of the amplified bait-prey junction sequence (Figs. 1b and 2c). Samples are then separated on an agarose gel, and a resulting population of 0.5-1 kb fragments are collected and quantified prior to Miseq paired-end sequencing, with a typical 2x 250bp HTGTS library sampling ~1×106 sequence reads.
We generated a custom bioinformatic pipeline that can be used to characterize the bait-prey junctions from the library of sequence reads and should be sufficient for most LAM-HTGTS applications using long paired-end sequence reads. The pipeline is available at http://robinmeyers.github.io/transloc_pipeline/ and consists of both third-party stand-alone tools (e.g. aligners) as well as custom programs built in Perl and R, enabling the processing of sequence reads directly off the sequencer into fully annotated translocation junctions in as few as two commands (Fig. 3). Briefly, library pre-processing steps consist of deconvoluting the barcoded libraries and trimming Illumina primers. The main processing pipeline is made up of three major steps: 1) local read alignment, 2) junction detection, and 3) results filtering. We use bowtie 2 to perform read alignments19 . The junction detection algorithm is based on the Optimal Query Coverage (OQC) algorithm from the YAHA read aligner and breakpoint detector20 (link). The OQC attempts to achieve the following objective: to optimally infer the full paired-end query sequence from one or more alignments to a reference sequence. The optimal set is determined by using a best-path search algorithm, which enables the detection of not only simple bait-prey junction reads, but also un-joined bait sequences, as well as reads harboring multiple consecutive junctions. The algorithm allows for overlapping alignments, which is required for micro-homology analyses and naturally extends to paired-end reads. The final characterization is an ordered set of alignments termed the Optimal Coverage Set (OCS). The library of resulting OCSs is subjected to a number of filters; the combination of filters and filter parameters used will depend largely on the application. Description of the filters currently employed can also be found at http://robinmeyers.github.io/transloc_pipeline.

C57BL6 mice (12–15 week old) were obtained by Charles River Laboratories (St. Constant, Québec). They were housed in an air-condition room (19–25°C) with controlled lighting from 07:15 to 19:15 h and were given free access to food (Lab Rodent Diet No. 5002) and water. The GDX and ADX groups had surgery 7 days before death. The intact, GDX and ADX groups received vehicle solution (0.4% (w/v) Methocel A15LV Premium/5% ethanol) 24 hours before sacrifice. DHT (0.1 mg) was injected 3 h prior to killing in GDX+DHT groups. ADX mice received sodium chloride (0.9 g/dl) in their drinking water after the surgery. Gcc (corticosterone, 0.1 mg per mouse) was subcutaneously injected into ADX mice, and the tissues were harvested 3 h after the injection. All animal experimentation was conducted in accord with the requirements of the Canadian Council on Animal Care. All the tissues were from male mice except for female sexual tissues. The tissues were dissected from 15–51 mice, frozen in liquid nitrogen and stocked at -80°C until analysis.
Total RNA was isolated from tissues by using the RNA extraction kit (TRIzol Reagent, Invitrogen Canada Inc., Burlington, ON). Approximately 5 μg of mRNA was extracted with Oligotex mRNA Mini Kit (Qiagen Inc., Mississauga, ON). The SAGE method was performed as previously described [13 (link),14 (link)]. In brief, double-strand cDNA was synthesized from the mRNA using a biotinylated (T)18 primer and cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen Canada Inc.). The cDNA libraries were digested with the restriction enzyme NlaIII (New England Biolabs Inc., Pickering, ON). The 3'-terminal cDNA fragments were captured using streptavidin-coated magnetic beads (Dynal, Biotech LLC, Brown Deer, WI). After ligation of 2 annealed linker pairs, the cDNA fragments were digested with BsmFI (New England Biolabs Inc.). The blunting kit from Takara Bio Inc. (Otsu, Japan) was used for the blunting and ligation of the two tag populations. The resulting ligation products were amplified by PCR and digested with NlaIII. The band containing the ditags was extracted from the 12% polyacrylamid gel. Using T4 ligase (Invitrogen Canada Inc.), the ditags were self-ligated to form concatemers that were cloned into SphI site of pUC19. White colonies were screened by PCR and agarose gel to select long inserts for automated sequencing (Applied Biosystems 3730, Foster City, CA). The data discussed in this publication have been deposited in NCBIs Gene Expression Omnibus [72 ] and are accessible through GEO Series accession number GSE5915. The sequence and occurrence of each of the transcript tags has been determined using the software SAGEana.pl, an updated version of SAGEparser.pl [73 (link)]. To identify the transcripts, we have generated a SAGEmap of 11 bp tags by the script SAGEmap.pl using the NCBI 10 bp tags SAGEmap, as well as the UniGene Clusters and mitochondrial mRNA sequences. The tag sequences must perfectly match at the last NlaIII restriction site (CATG) at the 3' end of a given transcript. To overcome the lower quality of some EST sequences, the tags that did not identify a well-characterized mRNA were required to match at least two ESTs in the same UniGene Cluster including one EST with a known polyA tail. To identify the transcripts, the sequences of 15 bp SAGE tags were matched with public databases. The tag numbers normalized by 100000 are shown in Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
The SAGE method has very good reproducibility [73 (link)]. However, several factors can affect this reproducibility such as the failure to provide relevant matching statistics. When a tag matches multiple genes, it is impossible to know the number of copies which are contributed by each gene since the matching stastitic is giving by the mixture of all contributing genes. However, using a 15 bp (CATG + 11 bp) tag, the SAGEparser program decreases the number of multiple matches and increases the number of tags which uniquely identify a transcript [73 (link)]. Therefore, the tags matching multiple genes were excluded from the current report. We used the comparative count display (CCD) test to identify the transcripts that were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) differentially expressed between the groups with more than 2-fold change. CCD test performs a key-by-key comparison of two key-count distributions by generating a probability that the frequency of any key in the distribution differs by more than a given fold factor from the other distribution. This statistical test has already been described elsewhere [74 (link)]. We have used the web site source at Stantford [75 ] to add the comparison of the tissue-specific genes with the UniGene and EST expression database information.

Not all complexes are able to be captured in the “Catch-3” step of the affinity capture assay (Figure 5), and therefore analyzed by PAGE, because the 3′ end of the SOMAmer is sometimes involved in its structure or interaction with the target. Additional affinity capture examples for the subset of the CKD-related targets whose complexes can be captured on “Catch-3” beads are shown in Figure 5.
50% plasma samples were prepared by diluting ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-plasma 2X in SB18T with 2 µM Z-Block_2 (the modified nucleotide sequence (AC-BnBn)7-AC). The plasma spike samples were prepared by diluting 500 ng protein with the 50% plasma in SB17T (SB18T with 1 mM EDTA) with 4-(2-Aminoethyl) benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF) and ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA). The plasma samples were prepared by diluting the 50% plasma in SB17T with AEBSF and EGTA. The buffer spike samples were prepared by diluting 500 ng protein in SB17T with AEBSF and EGTA. These samples were combined with 10 pmoles of SOMAmer to give final concentrations of 10% plasma, 2 mM AEBSF, 0.5 mM EGTA, and 100 nM SOMAmer. Complexes were formed by incubating at 37°C for 45 minutes. 50 µL of a 20% slurry of Streptavidin agarose beads (ThermoFisher Scientific) was added to each sample and shaken for 10 minutes at room temperature. The samples were added to a MultiScreen HV Plate to perform washes under vacuum filtration. Each sample was washed one time quickly with 200 µL of SB17T, one time for one minute with 200 µL of 100 µM biotin in SB17T with shaking, one time with 200 µL of SB17T for one minute with shaking, and one time with 200 µL of SB17T for nine minutes with shaking. Proteins in the sample were labeled with both biotin and a fluorophore by incubating each sample in 100 µL of 1 mM EZ Link NHS-PEO4-biotin (Pierce), 0.25 mM NHS-Alexa-647 (Invitrogen) in SB17T for five minutes with shaking. Each sample was washed one time with 200 µL of 20 mM glycine in SB17T and five times with 200 µL of SB17T, shaking each wash for one minute. The final wash was removed using centrifugation at 1000 relative centrifugal force (RCF) for 30 seconds. The beads were resuspended with 100 µL of SB17T. SOMAmers (complexed and free) were released from the beads by exposure under a BlackRay light source (UVP XX-Series Bench Lamps, 365 nm) for ten minutes with shaking. The samples were spun out of the plate by centrifugation at 1000 RCF for 30 seconds. 10 µL of each sample was removed and reserved as “Catch-1 eluate” for SDS-PAGE analysis. The remainder of the samples was captured through the biotinylated proteins by adding 20 µL of a 20% slurry of monomeric Avidin beads and shaking for ten minutes. The beads were transferred to a MultiScreen HV Plate and washed four times with 100 µL of SB17T for one minute with shaking. The final wash was removed using centrifugation at 1000 RCF for 30 seconds. Proteins were eluted from the beads by incubating each sample with 100 µL of 2 mM biotin in SB17T for five minutes with shaking. Each eluate was transferred to 0.4 mg MyOne Streptavidin beads with a bound biotinylated-primer complementary to the 3′ fixed region of the SOMAmer. The samples were incubated for five minutes with shaking to anneal the bead-bound fixed region to the SOMAmer complexes. Each sample was washed two times with 100 µL of 1XSB17T for one minute each with shaking and one time with 100 µL of 1XSB19T (5 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 7.5) for one minute with shaking, all by magnetic separation. The complexes were eluted by incubating with 45 µL of 20 mM NaOH for two minutes with shaking. 40 µL of each eluate was added to 10 µL of 80 mM HCl with 0.05% Tween-20 in a new plate. 10 µL of each sample was removed and reserved as “Catch-2 aptamer-bound eluate” for SDS-PAGE analysis. Gel samples were run on NuPAGE 4–12% Bis Tris Glycine gels (Invitrogen) under reducing and denaturing conditions according to the manufacturer's directions. Gels were imaged on an Alpha Innotech FluorChem Q scanner in the Cy5 channel to image the proteins.
