Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP was performed using a SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (9003S, Cell Signaling Technology). For ChIP-qPCR, HESCs at 30–50% confluence were plated on 15 cm culture dishes and transfected with either control shNC virus or shNSD2 virus (MOI = 20). About 16 h later, the medium was changed to 20 mL normal medium, and cells were collected for ChIP experiments after 48 h (~4 × 106 cells for each reaction). ChIP experiments, including sample preparation, nuclei preparation, chromatin digestion, analysis of chromatin digestion and concentration, chromatin immunoprecipitation, elution of chromatin, reversal of cross-links and qPCR were conducted strictly according to the kit instructions (Martin-Martin et al. 2016 (link)). For H3K36me2 occupied regions, ChIP experiments were performed using anti-histone H3 (di methyl K36) antibodies (2 μg for 25 μg of chromatin, ab176921, Abcam). The DNA products were quantified using qPCR. The ChIP primers were designed using Primer6 software and are listed in Supplementary Table 2. The region of the MCM7 promoter containing the H3K36me2-binding sites were amplified using a SYBR Green Kit (Takara). Statistical analyses were performed according to the instruction manual: Percent input = 2% × 2(C[T] 2% Input sample − C[T] IP sample).

Next day, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h. The membranes were visualized using Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore). The immunoreactive protein band density was quantified using Image J software (NIH).

Oocytes were fixed for 1 h in 4% formaldehyde in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) at room temperature (RT). After permeabilization with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 20 min, oocytes were incubated with primary antibodies diluted in blocking solution overnight at 4 °C, including Kdm2a (Abcam, ab191387, 1:500), H3K36me1 (Abcam, ab176920, 1:1000), H3K36me2 (Abcam, ab176921, 1:1000), and H3K36me3 (Abcam, ab9050, 1:1000). After three washes with PBS, oocytes were incubated with corresponding secondary antibody at RT for 30 min, and stained with propidium iodide (PI, 1 μg/mL in PBS) for 5 min. Labeled oocytes were mounted on slides and obtained images using a Zeiss LSM800 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) with the same parameters. The ZEN imaging and ImageJ software were used to analyze the images.

Proliferative-phase endometrial tissues from 10 patients with RIF and 10 FER controls were collected and washed with PBS immediately. Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, paraffin-embedded, and serially sectioned. Immunostaining was performed according to the instruction of the mouse and rabbit specific HRP/diaminobenzidine (DAB) (ABC) Detection IHC Kit (ab64264, Abcam). The slides were incubated with primary antibody against NSD2 (1:100, ab223694, Abcam), H3K36me2 (1:1000, ab176921, Abcam), minichromosome maintenance complex component 7 (MCM7) (1:500, 11225-1-AP, Proteintech), or Rabbit IgG (1:500, #3900, Cell Signaling Technology) diluted in PBS overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies used in the study were all commercial antibodies reported by other empirical studies (Zhu et al. 2019 (link), Dai et al. 2020 (link), Ganig et al. 2021 (link), Acke et al. 2022 (link)). For each immunohistochemical run, a slice from each group was randomly selected as the negative control. The negative control was tested by incubation with immunoglobulin G (IgG) from the corresponding species. Next day, they were incubated with secondary antibodies, stained with DAB, and counterstained with hematoxylin. The slides were then dehydrated, cleared, and mounted. The images were captured under a microscope. See Supplementary methods for the immunohistochemical scoring method.

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.
