Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zebrafish were euthanized in 0.08% tricaine and whole eyes were removed and fixed in 9:1 ethanolic formaldehyde (PCNA staining) or 4% paraformaldehyde (all other staining) overnight. Eyes were then washed in PBS and cryoprotected in 30% sucrose for 4 hr at room temperature. Eyes were transferred to a solution containing two parts optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT) and one part 30% sucrose overnight followed by transfer to 100% OCT for 2 hr and then embedded in OCT for cryosectioning. Antibodies used were PCNA (Sigma, P8825; Abcam, ab2426), GS (Millipore, mab302), GABA (Sigma, A0310), GABAA receptor γ2 subunit (Novus Biologicals, NB300-151), GAD65 + GAD67 (Abcam, ab11070), GFP (Torrey Pines BioLabs, TP401), and mCherry (Novus Biologicals, NBP1-96752). TUNEL labeling was performed following immunohistochemistry. The in situ cell death detection kit, TMR Red (Roche Applied Sciences, 12156792910) was used to detect apoptotic cells.

Western Blot Analysis of Synchronized Worms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synchronized worms at corresponding stages of adulthood were harvested in M9. After three rounds of freezing and thaw, worms were lysed by adding 4x loading buffer. Proteins were separated by reducing SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. Membranes were then blotted with primary antibodies against GFP (1:200 dilution, Cat# sc-9996, Santa Cruz), FLAG (1:2000 dilution, Cat# F7425, Sigma-Aldrich), α-tubulin (1:2000 dilution, Cat# T5168, Sigma-Aldrich), or mCherry (1:2,000 dilution, Cat# NBP1-96752, Novus Biologicals), and secondary antibodies against Rabbit IgG (1:5000 dilution, Cat# G-21234, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or Mouse IgG (1:5000 dilution, Cat# G-21040, Thermo Fisher Scientific). To harvest worms at day 5 and day 7 of adulthood, each sample was prepared from about 120 synchronized L4 worms on six 60 mm plates. The worms were transferred to fresh plates every two days until reaching desired ages. Worms undergoing internal hatching and vulva bursting were discarded. Signals of western blotting were measured using Adobe Photoshop. Background signals were subtracted as reported24 (link). All the uncropped and unprocessed images were shown in the Supplementary Fig. 8.

ChIP-qPCR Assay for YY1 Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ChIP assay was performed using Pierce™ Magnetic ChIP Kit (26157, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The experimental procedures were carried out following the manufacturer’s instructions. Four micrograms of anti-YY1 (22156-1-AP, Proteintech) or anti-mCherry (ab167453, Abcam) antibody was used for the IP, while the same amount of normal rabbit IgG (I-1000, Vector Laboratories, Inc.) was used as a negative control. The anti-YY1 (1:1000, MAB3784, R&D Systems, Inc.) and anti-mCherry (1:1000, NBP1-96752, Novus Biologicals) antibodies were used for the detection of the endogenous YY1 protein and YY1-mCherry proteins in the input and IP samples. Twenty nanograms of recovered genomic DNAs from each input, normal rabbit IgG, and YY1 or mCherry immunoprecipitated samples were used in the following qPCR to analyse the levels of Fuzzy promoter fragments. The primers used were FuzzyYY1-a-F, 5′-GGTGGGTGGATCATTTGAGC-3′; FuzzyYY1-a-R, 5′-TTTTGGGAGAGGGGACAGG-3′; FuzzyYY1-b-F, 5′-GACCACAGGCCGAGTTACTC-3′ and FuzzyYY1-b-R, 5′-TTCGGTTTAGATACAGGCGTC-3′. Relative gene expression in IgG IP samples was quantified using the 2−ΔCt method, where ΔCt = CtIgG IP – CtInput. Relative gene expression in antibody IP samples was quantified using the 2−ΔΔCt method, where ΔΔCt = (Ctantibody IP – CtInput)disease – (Ctantibody IP – CtInput)control.

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.
