RNA immunoprecipitation was performed following the Abcam protocol. Briefly, cells were cross-linked with formaldehyde (0.75%) and harvested after washing with 1 × PBS. Nuclei were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in RIP buffer [150 mM KCl, 25 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.5% NP40, 100 U/mL RNase inhibitor, and proteinase/phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (GenDEPOT)]. Chromatin was sheared by sonication and pelleted by centrifugation. For each IP, 5 μg of KSRP antibody was added, and the samples were incubated overnight at 4 °C with rotation. Protein A/G–agarose beads (Thermo) were added to the samples, which were rotated at 4 °C for 2 h, and then washed three times for 2 min each with RIP buffer. The RNA pellet precipitated with the beads was extracted directly with Trizol-LS (Invitrogen) and resuspended in 20 μl of RNase-free water. Total RNA, including KSRP-binding microRNAs, were reverse-transcribed using a microRNA reverse transcription kit (Qiagen). Mature miR-124 expression was quantified by quantitative PCR (qPCR) using a microRNA primer assay kit (Qiagen). U6 transcript was used as an internal control to normalize RNA input.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
