ChIP was performed using 10 E9.5 embryos or 1 × 106 ES cells per experiment. After recovery, embryos were treated with collagenase type I (Stemcell Technologies, 07902) at 0.125% for 1 hour at 37°. Then, embryos were desegregated using a pipette and washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline. Samples were fixed, and protein-DNA complexes were cross-linked by treatment with 1% formaldehyde (Pierce, 289069) for 15 min rocking at room temperature. To stop fixation, glycine (Nzytech, MBO1401) was added to a final concentration of 125 mM during 10 min. Next, ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT High Sensitivity kit (Active Motif, 53040), following the manufacturer’s instructions. DNA was sheared into fragments ranging from 200 to 1000 bp using a sonicator (Diagenode Bioruptor Water Bath Sonicator, 30 s on 30 s off for 30 min). Immunoprecipitations were carried out using rabbit polyclonal anti-OCT4 antibody (Abcam, ab19857), and anti-Rabbit immunoglobulin G polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab171870) was used as negative control. Enrichment was measured by qPCR. A fragment from the Nanog promoter was used as a positive control (27 (link), 29 (link)), and genomic fragments from the loci of Anks1b, Smg6, and Tiam1 were used as negative controls (59 (link)) after checking they did not contain OCT4 bound peaks (27 (link)). qPCR primers used are listed in data file S4.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The level of SORE6-driven GFP fluorescence in untreated cultures or after different drug treatments were analyzed and/or SORE6+ and SORE6- subpopulations were sorted by flow cytometry using a BD FACS Aria II Cell Sorter (BD Bioscience, Erembodegem, Belgium). Cells transduced with the minCMVp-GFP lentivirus were used as matched SORE6 negative control for gating purposes. In these analyses, dead cells were excluded by propidium iodide (0.5 μg/mL) staining (Figure S8). To analyze the induction of apoptosis in SORE6+ and SORE6- subpopulations, unfixed cells were assayed for active caspase-3 immediately after treatment using the PE Active Caspase-3 Apoptosis Kit (BD Bioscience) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the level of GFP (SORE6) and PE (Caspase 3) fluorescence was simultaneously detected by flow cytometry. SOX2 and OCT4 expression was detected by flow cytometry in 70% ethanol-fixed cells using an anti-SOX2 antibody from Thermo Fisher (Waltham, MA) (PA1-094); 1: 1000 dilution) or anti-OCT4 antibody from AbCam (Cambridge, UK) ((ab19857); 1: 1000 dilution).

ADSCs differentiate into NSCs by neurosphere technique. In the first stage, ADSCs of the fourth passage were removed using trypsin and EDTA and plated with serum‐free DMEM/F12 containing 2% B27, 20 ng/mL of the epidermal growth factor (EGF), and 20 ng/mL of the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (Invitrogen, Paisley, Scotland). After 7 days, the cell aggregates (neurosphere) were harvested into single cells and the dissociated cells were then cultured in a T25 flask (2 × 106 density) in a neurosphere medium with 10% FBS (NSC culture medium). NSCs were cultured on a six‐well plate and immunolabeled with primary antibodies against nestin (Abcam, ab11306), NF 68 (Abcam, ab223343), Neurod (Abcam, ab239955), Sox2 (Abcam, ab92494), Oct4 (Abcam, ab19857), and Neun (Abcam, ab177487) (Darvishi et al., 2020 (link); Moayeri et al., 2020 (link)).

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.
