MDA-MB-231 cells seeded in 6 well plates at a cell density of 3 x 105 were treated with HKMTI-1-005 (1–7.5uM) for 48 h. Following lysis in Triton Extraction Buffer (TEB, PBS containing 0.5 % Triton ×100 (v/v), 1/1000 protease inhibitor), nuclei were re-suspended in 0.2 N HCL at a density of 4 x 107 nuclei per millilitre and incubated overnight at 4 °C to acid-extract the histones, before being centrifuged at 6500g for 10 min at 4 °C. Protein concentration was determined using the Bradford assay. H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9me2, H3K9me and total H3 protein expression levels in the histone extract samples were determined using Western blot analysis using H3K27me3 (1:1000; Abcam), H3K9me3 (1:1000; Abcam), H3K9me (1:1000) and H3 (1:2000; Abcam) antibodies. After washing, the membrane was incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-labelled secondary antibody (1 h, room temperature). The membrane was incubated for 1 min with 5 mL of Pierce ECL Western blotting substrate (Thermo Scientific). Images were captured using Konica Minolta SRX101A Tabletop X-Ray film processor.

For quantitative PCR, a standard protocol was followed. Total RNA was extracted with Trizol and was converted to cDNA. Primers for BAP1 were 5'-GCT CGT GGA AGA TTT CGG TGT-3' as forward, and 5'- TCA TCA ATC ACG GAC GTA TCA TC-3' as reverse. GAPDH was used as internal reference. cDNA was subject to the ABI 7500 for quantitative PCR procedure and the program was per manufacturer's instruction of SYBR Green system. The expression of BAP1 was calculated according to internal references and expressed as folds over the control group.
For western blotting, total protein of cell lysates was extracted and equal protein amount of 25 μg was loaded onto 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel. Gels were subsequently transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were blockedd with 5% non-fat milk. Primary anti-human BAP1 (Cell Signaling), EZH2 (Abcam), H3K27me3 (Abcam), and Actin (Abcam) antibodies were then added at the dose recommended by the manufacturers and membranes were kept at 4°C overnight. Procedure was finalized by enhanced chemiluminescence.

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.
