Metabolic labeling was performed as previously described44 (link),45 (link). Briefly, cells were treated with 200 µM 4-thiouridine (4sU, Sigma) for 1 hour followed by phenol-chloroform RNA extraction. 80 µg of RNA was incubated with biotin-HPDP (Thermo) to specifically biotinylate the newly transcribed 4sU labeled RNAs. Biotinylated RNAs were then pulled down using the μMacs Streptavidin Kit (Miltenyi) and at least 100 ng of pulled RNA was used for reverse transcription and downstream qPCR analysis. This experiment was performed once with two biological replicates.

HEK293 cells were grown in DMEM GlutaMax (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FCS (FCS Superior, Biochrom KG) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin solution (Invitrogen) at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were split into six-well plates and transfected with 50 pmol siRNAs and 5 µL of Lipofectamine RNAiMax (Invitrogen) per well 1–3 d later, depending on their initial density, at ∼50%–90% confluency (day 1). The following siRNAs were used: siCtrl (UGGGCGUCGUGGAGGCUUUTT, Eurofins MWG Operon), siPABPN1_b (GGAGCUACAGAACGAGGUATT, Eurofins MWG Operon), and siPABPN1_8 (CCCAAAGGGUUUGCGUAUAUA, Qiagen #SI04763577). After 4–6 h incubation, the cells were split to three or four wells. On day 3, the siRNA treatment was repeated. Cells derived from one original well were combined and spread on a 6-cm or 10-cm dish for protein or RNA preparation, respectively. For 4-thiouridine (4-sU) labeling, the medium was renewed on day 4. On day 5 (∼96 h after the first transfection), cells were treated for 10 or 30 min with 500 µM 4-thiouridine (Sigma-Aldrich) or not. Total RNA was isolated by a modified TRIzol method (Chomczynski and Mackey 1995 (link)).

After incubation with 4SU, total RNA was isolated from neuronally differentiated P19 cells and mouse brain and was subjected to enzymatic digestion with or without dephosphorylation to generate single nucleosides or nucleotides, respectively, for HPLC analysis54 (link). Briefly, 40 μg of purified total RNA was incubated in a 28 μl volume for overnight with 0.09 U snake venom phosphodiesterase (Worthington Biochemical) alone or together with 0.4 U bacterial alkaline phosphatase (Worthington Biochemical). The resulting single nucleosides or nucleotides were analyzed by a modified ion-paring high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the Agilent 1100 HPLC (Agilent technologies) equipped with a reverse phase column, Supelco LC-18-T (150 × 4.6 mm, 3 μm particle size). Chromatography was performed at the flow rate 0.7 ml/min and the nucleoside or nucleotide detection was performed at 260 nm and 333 nm. The HPLC-reverse phase column was calibrated with AMP, CMP, GMP, UMP, uridine and 4-thiouridine obtained from Sigma-Aldrich.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PAR-CLIP was performed as previously described (Hafner et al. 2010 (link)) with minor modifications. Briefly, a total of 400 million cells were used for each experiment. Each plate was treated with 4-Thiouridine (Sigma-Aldrich) at a final concentration of 100 µM 14 h prior to UV-crosslinking with 0.15 J/cm2 of 365-nm UV light with a Stratalinker UV Crosslinker (Stratagene). Cells were then scraped, lysed, and digested with RNase T1 (Fermentas) to a final concentration of 1 unit/µL. AGO immunoprecipitation of the lysate was then performed using Dynabeads Protein G magnetic particles (Invitrogen) and AGO antibody (Sigma) at a final concentration of 0.05 µg/µL. A second RNase T1 treatment was then performed using a final concentration of 10 units/µL. The RNA segments were then radiolabeled using 32P-γATP to a final concentration of 0.5 µCi/µL and T4 PNK to a final concentration of 1 unit/µL, and samples were then resuspended in 70 µL SDS-PAGE loading buffer, and SDS-PAGE was performed. The gel bands corresponding to AGO were cut for each sample and electroelution of the crosslinked RNA–protein complexes was then performed. Recovery of crosslinked target RNA fragments was then performed using phenol chloroform and ethanol extraction.

GC cells were allowed to react with 200 mm 4-thiouridine (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, St Louis, MO, USA) for 14 h and cross-linked with 0.4 J/cm2 at 365 nm. After lysis, the specific antibody to METTL3 was supplemented to facilitate immunoprecipitation at 4°C. The precipitated RNA was probed with [g-32-P]-ATP and observed by means of autoradiography, followed by proteinase K digestion. The RNA content was extracted and RT-qPCR was employed to determine the expression pattern of MYC [33 (link)].

Cells were harvested in lysis buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM NaF, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.125% SDS) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and 0.5 U/μl of RNasin (Promega). Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated using 2 μg of either anti-Sam68 antibodies (07-415, Millipore) or IgG (Santa Cruz), and complexes captured using protein A/G beads (Sigma). The immunoprecipitates were treated with 1 mg/ml of proteinase K in proteinase K buffer (100 mM Tris pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) for 30 min at 55°C. The bound RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) as per the manufacturer's protocol. RT-qPCR was carried out as described above.

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.
