Cells were cross-linked with 1% Formaldehyde Solution (Sigma-Aldrich) for 15 min at 37 °C, quenched by 125 mM Glycine (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) for 5 min at room temperature, and sonicated to shear DNA. CHIP assay was performed with CHIP Assay Kit (Beyotime) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Chromatin fragments were precipitated with anti-AR (#51533, CST, 1:100 dilution) or a control non-immune IgG (#7074, CST, 1:100 dilution). The precipitate was eluted and analyzed by QPCR using TB Green Premix Ex TaqTM kit (Taka ra) and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio instrument (Thermo Fisher). The primers of CHIP-QPCR were listed in Table S2.

The cells were seeded at 1 × 105 cells/well into 6-well plates, and the medium was changed as described above. After 7 days, RNA was extracted by using TRIzol (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) and a small total RNA extraction kit (Tianmobio, Beijing, China). HiScript Ⅱ Q RT SuperMix (Vazyme, Nanjing, China) and ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme) were used for reverse transcription PCR and real-time qPCR. All steps were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The sequences of the primers used are listed in Table 1. Endogenous reference gene (GAPDH) primers were purchased from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China), which also synthesized the other primers. Reverse transcription PCR was performed using Biometra TOne (Analytik Jena, Jena, Germany). Real-time qPCR was performed using an Applied Biosystems QuantStudio instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Relative quantification was calculated using 2-ΔΔCt.

Total RNA was extracted using RNAiso Plus (Takara). About 2 μg of purified RNA was reversely transcribed into cDNA by the PrimeScriptTM RT master mix reagents (Takara). Real-time quantitative PCR was performed with TB Green Premix Ex TaqTM kit (Takara) in Applied Biosystems QuantStudio instrument (Thermo Fisher). The real-time quantitative PCR reaction was conducted with the condition: 30 s at 95 °C, 40 cycles of 5 s at 95 °C, followed by 20 s at 60 °C. All the primers was synthesized by Sangon (Shanghai, China) and listed in Table S2. The relative expression of genes was normalized by β-actin. The data were shown as –ΔΔCT.

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.
