For the co-IP experiments, HPAEpiCs were lysed on ice for 30 min in cell lysis buffer (P0013, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). After centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 30 min at 4 °C, the supernatant was collected and incubated with anti-HNF4α antibodies (ab181604, 1:70, Abcam, Shanghai, China) overnight. After 4 hr of incubation with Protein A Agarose (20333, Thermo Scientific, Shanghai, China) at 4 °C, the complexes were washed three times. Immunoblotting was performed after elution.

ChIP was performed as described previously (Tao et al., 2016 (link)) using a ChIP assay kit (P2078, Beyotime) following the manufacturer’s directions. After crosslinking with formaldehyde, the chromatin solutions were sonicated and incubated with anti-SP1 (9389, 1:100, Cell Signaling Technology) and anti-HNF4α (ab181604, 1:100, Abcam) antibodies and control IgG, then rotated overnight at 4 °C, respectively. After purification using a DNA purification kit (BioTeke Corp.), the immunoprecipitated DNA was detected for PCR analysis. All ChIP-qPCR experiments were performed with three biological replicates.

ChIP experiments were performed using the EZ-Magna ChIP kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, primary hepatocytes in a 150 mm culture dish were treated with vehicle or PCN for 48 h and fixed by adding formaldehyde to the medium. Cells were harvested with lysis buffer and nuclear lysates were sonicated to yield DNA fragments of 0.2–1 kb. IP was performed using antibody to HNF4α (ab181604; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or rabbit IgG. The purified DNA was amplified by real-time PCR. The primers used in the ChIP assays are as follows: Glut2 gene's promoter was 5ʹ-TCCTTCCGACCTTCATGTTC-3ʹ and 5ʹ-GCTGTGCATTGGAGACTCAC-3ʹ.

HNF4α Binding Analysis in HepG2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EMSA and antibody‐supershift assay were performed using Chemiluminescent EMSA Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). In brief, the biotin‐labeled probes were incubated with nuclear proteins of HepG2 cells for 30 min at room temperature (RT), followed by native‐PAGE. For competition assay, nuclear proteins were pre‐incubated with an unlabeled consensus binding sequence of HNF4α before labeled probes were added. For antibody‐supershift assay, nuclear proteins were pre‐incubated with anti‐HNF4α antibody (ab181604, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or isotype‐matched control IgG prior to the addition of labeled probe.

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.
