ChIP was performed using MAGnify ChIP kit with manufacturers' instructions. Briefly, cells sorted from intestines were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde at 37 °C for 10 min, and then quenched with 0.125 M lysine, followed by swelling in lysis buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 140 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% NaDeoxycholate, and Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set III) for 30 min on ice. Chromatin was sheared to a mean length of 400 bp by sonication. After being de-cross-linked by RNase, proteinase K, and heat, input genomic DNA was precipitated with ethanol and quantified in a GeneQuant 100 spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare). Chromatin was precleared with protein A/G-agarose, followed by incubation with indicated antibodies at 4 °C overnight and further incubation with protein A/G-agarose for 2 h. Beads were washed with washing buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 250 mM LiCl, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5% Nadeoxycholate, 1 mM EDTA) three times and eluted with elution buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 1% SDS, and 10 mM EDTA). Eluates were de-cross-linked by RNase, proteinase K, and heat, and DNA was extracted with phenolchloroform, followed by ethanol precipitation. For each ChIP experiment, 2 × 104 cells were used. 5% of nuclear extracts served as inputs. Immunoprecipitated DNAs were further analysed by real-time PCR. 2 × 104 NKp46+ ILC3 cells were pooled from 4–10 WT or WASH knockout mice for each group.

The expression and purification of eNOS from Sf21 cells was carried out essentially same as previously reported [34 (link)]. The inhibition of eNOS oxygenase activity by unmodified or modified CBDs was tested at 37°C for 4 min by measuring L-[3H]citrulline formation in a mixture containing 25 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.5 μM CaM, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.3 mM CaCl2, 100 μM β-NADPH, 10 μM H4B, 20 μM L-arginine, 1 μCi of L-[3H]arginine, 100 nM eNOS, and in the presence or absence of 10 μM of each peptide. Cytochrome c reduction was determined at room temperature (25°C) in a reaction mixture containing 25 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 50 μM cytochrome c, 0.5 μM CaM, 100 μM CaCl2 and 100 μM β-NADPH in the presence or absence of 10 μM of each peptide. The reaction was initiated by addition of 50 nM eNOS and monitored at 550 nm in a GE geneQuant100 spectrophotometer. Activity was determined using a ΔE550=21 mM−1cm−1. An assay in the absence of CaM was carried out to serve as baseline reference.

The mDixon liquid medium was inoculated with one loop of M. pachydermatis and pre-cultured for 5–7 days, then transferred to 100 mL of mDixon medium for a starting OD600 of 0.05. The cells were incubated in a shaker at 120 rpm at 32 °C until OD600 reached 1–2 and then collected by washing with the mYNB (modified Yeast Nitrogen Base) medium (0.67% yeast nitrogen base (Difco), 2% glycerol, 1% Tween 40, and 25 mM MOPS buffer (pH 6)). To induce gene expression, 10 mL of cell suspension (starting OD600 = 1) in mYNB containing 5 mM of each fatty acid (C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, and C18:1) or in mDixon containing 3 μM triacsin C were incubated in L-tubes at 32 °C for 6 h. Before the cells were collected, 0.05% Triton X-100 was added as a surfactant and mixed vigorously to facilitate pellet collection. The supernatants containing each fatty acid were carefully removed, and the pellets for RNA extraction were washed with DEPC water. Total RNA was extracted from each sample using the hot phenol method [32 ]. The concentration of each isolated RNA was determined using a GeneQuant100 spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare), and RNA quality was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis.

The total RNA from PC12 was extracted using the RNA pre-pure Cell/Bacteria Kit (Tiangen Biotech, China). The concentrations of the total RNA were measured using a Gene Quant 100 Spectrophotometer (General Electric Company, Germany). Five micrograms of total RNA were used to generate complementary DNA using an anchored oligo (dT)18 primer and EasyScript Reverse Transcriptase enzyme (Transgene, China). The cDNA was subsequently used as a template for real-time PCR using SYBR Green Master Mix (Tiangen Biotech, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The primer sequences of RB1 were as follows (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_009029.2): forward: 5′-TGCTGAAGGCGGCAATCCCC-3′; reverse: 5′- CGAGTCAGGTGTCCCGAGGGT-3′.

BIE and MAC-T cells were seeded in 6-well plates at densities ranging from 4–7 ×
105 cells and incubated for 15 ± 1 hr before experiments. After incubation,
the cells were rinsed with DMEM without FBS and then treated with 0–100
µg/ml LPS from E. coli O111:B4
(L2630, Sigma) in DMEM without FBS at 37°C for 2 hr. The cells on the plates were
collected, washed with PBS, and total RNA was immediately extracted from the cells using
the RNeasy Mini kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Thirty milligrams each
of mucosal epithelial tissue samples (small intestine, mammary gland, lung, and uterus)
and liver were homogenized with 600 µl of RLT buffer containing
β-mercaptoethanol from the RNeasy Mini Kit by using Multi-Beads Shocker (Yasui Kikai,
Osaka, Japan), and the total RNA was extracted as described above.
The RNA extracted from cell lines and tissue samples was quantified using a GeneQuant 100
spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare) and stored at −80°C until use. Contaminating DNA was
removed with DNase I (18068-015, Invitrogen), and cDNA was synthesized using PrimeScript
RT Master Mix (RR036A, Takara, Kusatsu, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

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.
