All cell lines were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Millipore-Sigma) in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 °C.
Initial experiments were performed on primary MEFs derived from 13.5 days NM1 WT and KO embryos46 (link). In other experiments were used immortalized MEFs (ATCC® CRL-2752) or cell lines derived from these immortalized cells.
The antibodies against H3K9me3 (ab8898), H3K27ac (ab4729), H3K4me1 (ab8895), H3K4me3 (ab8580), H3K9ac (ab10812), H3 (ab1791), γH2AX (ab2893), p53-K370 (ab183544), PCAF (ab12188), Set1 (ab70378), GAPDH (ab8245), and nonspecific rabbit IgG isotype control (ab37415) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). The antibody against NM1 has been previously characterized2 (link). Alexa Fluor 555 Goat Anti-Rabbit (ab150078) and Alexa Fluor 488 Goat Anti-Mouse (ab150117) were used as secondary antibodies for immunofluorescence, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-fused Goat Anti-Rabbit (ab6721) and Rabbit Anti-Mouse (ab6728) secondary antibodies for western blottings were purchased from Abcam. Hoechst 43222 (H1399) and ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; P36931) were purchased from Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA. All antibodies have been used according to the manufacturers’ protocols.

ChIP was performed as previously described [22 (link)]. The antibodies used for ChIP were anti-H3K9Ac (Abcam, #ab4441), anti-KAT2B (Abcam, #ab12188), anti-HNF4A (R&D Systems, PP-H6939-00), anti-IgG (CST, #3900) and anti-HIC1 (Sigma, #SAB1412231). The primers are listed in Supplementary Table S1.
The PLA was performed as previously described [21 (link)]. The primary antibodies used were anti-HIC1 (Sigma, #SAB1412231 or #SAB2103167), anti-HNF4A (R&D Systems, PP-H6939-00) and anti-KAT2B (Abcam, #ab12188).

Immunofluorescence Staining of Transfected Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At 48 h after transfection with siRNAs, adherent cells were fixed by incubation for 10 min in 4% paraformaldehyde and were then permeabilized by incubation with 0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min at room temperature. For blocking, cells were incubated for 1 h at room temperature in PBS containing 7.5% goat serum and 7.5% foetal bovine serum and then incubated overnight at 4°C with the indicated primary antibody. The following antibodies were used for IF: GFP (1/200, ab6673, abcam), PML (1:100, sc966, Santa Cruz), PCAF (1:50, ab12188, Abcam), GCN5 (1:100, 3305, Cell signaling), TRF2 (1:100, IMG-124A, Imgenex), and USP22 (ab4812, Abcam). Secondary labelling was performed using an Alexa Fluor 488- or 594-conjugated antibody (Molecular Probes) at room temperature for 1 h.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Vascular Inflammation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the presence of inflammatory cells, vessel wall characteristics and effects of garcinol therapy, IHC was performed on paraffin-embedded sections of cuffs harvested after 3 days (ApoE*3-Leiden) or 21 days respectively (PCAF KO and WT mice). Weigert’s elastin staining was used to visualize elastic laminae. Inflammatory cell presence in the vascular wall was visualized using antibodies against leukocytes (anti-CD45 clone 30-F11, BD Pharmingen) and macrophages (anti-Mac3 clone M3/84, BD Pharmingen). Vascular SMCs were stained using anti-smooth muscle actin (SMA, clone 1A4, Dako) antibodies, PCAF was stained using anti-PCAF (ab12188, Abcam) antibodies and CCL2 was stained using anti-CCL2 (clone M-18, Santa Cruz) antibodies.

Quantitative Analysis of PCAF Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical analysis for PCAF status was performed on tissue microarrays from BioChain Institute using respective antibodies from Abcam (Anti-KAT2B / PCAF antibody, ab12188). The detection system used was 3,30-diaminobenzidine (DAB) from DAKO (Santa Clara, CA). Slides were counterstained using hematoxylin. Quantitative scoring of PCAF immunostaining was performed following previously published methods [30] (link). The quantitative results show the mean integrated optical density (IOD).

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.
