We homogenized mouse tissues in buffer containing 50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P‐40, 0.5% deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, and 1 mM 2‐mercaptoethanol with Halt Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific, NJ, USA) and then centrifuged them at 2,500 × g for 15 min. Equal amounts of protein were separated by 5–20% SDS–PAGE and transferred to Hybond‐P membranes (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). The primary antibodies and their dilutions were as follows: AR (N20, 1:1,000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), Dnmt1 (1:1,000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Dnmt3a (1:1,000; Abcam), Dnmt3b (1:1,000; Abcam), Hes5 (1:1,000; Santa Cruz), and ChAT (1:1,000; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Primary antibody binding was probed with horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibodies at a dilution of 1:5,000, and bands were detected by using an immunoreaction enhancing solution (Can Get Signal; Toyobo, Osaka, Japan) and enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL Prime; GE Healthcare). An LAS‐3000 imaging system (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) was used to produce digital images. The signal intensities of these independent blots were quantified using IMAGE GAUGE software version 4.22 (Fuji) and expressed in arbitrary units (n = 3 for each group). The membranes were reprobed, or the same samples were examined with an anti‐GAPDH (1:5,000; Santa Cruz) antibody for normalization.

Western blotting was performed according to standard procedures using enhanced chemiluminescence detection. Briefly, total proteins were extracted from cells using RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Equal amounts of protein were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gels and then polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore). After blocking with 5% skim milk, the membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies for DNMT3A, DNMT3B, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and GAPDH (Abcam), followed by incubation with corresponding horseradish peroxidase-coupled secondary antibody (Beyotime). The signals were detected with enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Pierce). GAPDH was used as an internal control.

MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were treated with WA, or DMSO solvent control as indicated in the figure legends. At the end of the incubation time, total cell lysates were prepared in RIPA buffer. Protein concentrations were determined by the DC protein assay (Bio-Rad, CA, USA). Equal amounts of protein were prepared in SDS-Laemli sample buffer (62.5mM Tris–HCl pH6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 0.5% DTT). Proteins were separated on 8.5% SDS-PAGE, and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Non-specific binding sites on the membrane were blocked with a mixture of 50% Licor blocking buffer (Licor, Lincoln, NA, USA)/50% TBS containing 0.2% Tween-20 for 1 hour. Afterwards membranes were incubated with DNMT1 (MG-261,Imgenex), DNMT3A (#3598, Cell Signaling), DNMT3B (Ab16049, Abcam), JARID1B (HPA027179, Sigma Aldrich), or β-Actin (A5441, Sigma Aldrich) recognizing primary antibodies and visualized with fluorophore-coupled secondary antibody. β-Actin was used as a loading control protein. Detection was performed by use of the Odyssey Imaging System (Licor, Lincoln, NA).

The Soluble protein components of the cells were collected after cell lysis. The protein concentration was determined by the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad). Equal amounts of lysate were applied to a 10% NuPAGE Bis-Tris Gel (Invitrogen) and gel electrophoresis was performed. The lysates were then transferred onto PVDF membranes for 90mins, and then the reactive sites were blocked with the help of a 5% skimmed milk solution. The membranes were washed once with TBST, then incubated for overnight at 4°C with relevant primary antibodies (ACADS, 16623-1-AP, proteintech; DNMT1, 24206-1-AP, proteintech; DNMT3A, 19366-1-AP, proteintach; DNMT3B, ab2851, abcam). The membranes were then washed again for three times with TBST after which the secondary antibody (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG 1:5000) was added and the samples were incubated for a duration of 2 hours at room temperature. Upon the conclusion of this step, the membranes were subjected to three washes with TBST and then suitable amounts of ECL liquid was added and the membranes were placed in a darkroom for the reaction to proceed. A GAPDH solution (1:5000 dilution, Sigma-Aldrich) was used as the loading control reagent.

Formaldehyde (1% final concentration) was added into cells (2 × 106 cells). Cells were then incubated for 10 min at 37°C to crosslink proteins to DNA. After sonication, 5 μg of antibodies recognizing the following AML1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, USA, sc-28679), ETO (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, USA, sc-9737), histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) (Abcam, Cambridge, USA, ab7028), DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) (Abcam, Cambridge, USA, ab13537), DNMT3a (Abcam, Cambridge, USA, ab13888) and DNMT3b (Abcam, Cambridge, USA, ab13604) were immunoprecipitated with the chromatin overnight. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed on the naked and sonicated DNA extracted from SKNO-1, SKNO-1-siA/E, U937, and U937-A/E cell lines and then assayed with the EZ-ChIP kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA, 17-371) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Genomic EYA4 upstream regions, which were close to the putative AML1-binding site, were amplified. Primers sequences are shown in Supplementary Table 1. GAPDH was used as a control for nonspecific precipitated sequences.

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.
