Rabbit anti-Myc, anti-Flag, mouse anti-Flag (M2) and cycloheximide (CHX) were obtained from Sigma. Rabbit GFP was purchased from GeneTex. Rabbit anti-PES1and 17β-estrogen (E2) were obtained from Abcam. Rabbit anti-ERα was obtained from Millipore. MG132 was purchased from Merk. The siRNA sequences, siTrim23 and si control, were obtained from GenePharma RNAi Company and their sequences are shown in Supplementary Table S1.
HA-PES1 was obtained from Dr. Dirk Eick (Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology and Tumor Genetics, GSF Research Center, Germany). GFP-PES1 was constructed in our laboratory. The PES1 mutants GFP-K249R, K517R, and 2KR were prepared using the QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) using HA-PES1 as the template. Myc-tagged SUMO-1, SUMO-2, SUMO-3 along with GFP-SUMO1 and its mutant GFP-SUMO1/GA have been used in our previous studies [11 (link), 12 (link)]. Flag-UBC9 was amplified by PCR and subcloned into Flag-pCDNA3.1 vector at Xho1 and EcoR1 sites.

Immunofluorescence experiments were completed as described in (Bolt et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, cells were fixed in 4%
formaldehyde in PEM buffer (80 mM potassium PIPES, pH 6.8, 5 mM EGTA and 2 mM
MgCl2), quenched with 0.1 M ammonium chloride for 10 min and permeabilized
with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 30 minutes. Cells were incubated at room temperature in blotto
(5% milk in 1× TBS–Tween 20) for 1 h, and then specific antibodies were
added overnight at 4°C prior to 30 min of secondary antibody (Alexa conjugates,
Molecular Probes) and DAPI staining (1μg/ml for ~1 min). The primary
antibodies used were: mouse anti-Ser5-phospho RNA polymerase II (Abcam, ab5401), mouse
anti-SRC-1 (BD Transduction Labs # 612378), mouse anti-SRC-2 (BD Transduction Labs #
610985), mouse anti-SRC-3 (BD Transduction Labs # 611105), and rabbit anti-ERα
(Millipore 04-820).

Brain sections from male mice were washed with PBS and blocked for 1 hr at room temperature with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) containing 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS. They were then incubated for 48 hr at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-AR (1:200; Epitomics) or rabbit anti-ERα (1:5000; Millipore Corp) and goat anti-choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) (1:1000; Millipore Corp) or mouse anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) (1:8000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). After the primary antibody was removed by rinsing, sections were incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 hr at room temperature. The following secondary antibodies were used for double-staining: anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor (AF) 488 (1:1000; Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) and anti-goat AF 546 (1:1000; Invitrogen) or anti-mouse AF 546 (1:1000; Invitrogen).

To investigate NPYARN co-expression with gonadal steroid hormone receptors, free-floating immunohistochemistry was performed on coronal sections throughout the rostral, middle, and caudal ARN (rARN, mARN, cARN). NPYARN neuron somata were labeled for GFP reporter expression using a chicken anti-GFP primary antibody (1:5000; Aves Labs) [45 (link)] as above. Every third section was co-labeled for one of the following steroid hormone receptors: progesterone receptor (rabbit anti-PR, 1:100; Dako (Agilent), CA, USA; VEH n = 8, PNA n = 10; RRID:AB_2315192) [46 (link)], estrogen receptor α (rabbit anti-ERα, 1:5000; Millipore; VEH n = 5, PNA n = 5, RRID:AB_310305) [47 (link)], or androgen receptor (rabbit anti-AR PG-21, 1:200; Millipore, MA, USA; VEH n = 4, PNA n = 4; RRID:AB_310214) [48 (link)]. To amplify GFP signal, a goat anti-chicken AlexaFluor488 antibody was used (1:200; Molecular Probes, OR, USA), while steroid hormone receptors were labeled using a goat anti-rabbit AlexaFluor568 antibody (1:200; Molecular Probes, OR, USA).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Brain Sections

Brain sections from male and female mice were used in this experiment. Endogenous peroxidase activity was eliminated from the sections by incubation with 2% H2O2 in PBS with 0.3% Triton X-100 for 30 min, and the sections were then rinsed with PBS three times for 5 min each. After blocking nonspecific binding components with 1% normal goat serum and 1% BSA in PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 1 hr at room temperature, the sections were incubated with rabbit anti-AR (1:200; Epitomics, Burlingame, CA, USA) or rabbit anti-ERα (1:5000; Millipore Corp, Billerica, MA, USA) antibodies for 48 hr at 4°C. Immunopositive products were detected with a streptavidin-biotin (SAB) kit (Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan), followed by diaminobenzidine (DAB) development. The preparations were analyzed using an Olympus Optical microscope (Tokyo, Japan).

Tracing Tracheal and Esophageal Innervation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male mice were anesthetized with isoflurane. The extrathoracic trachea and esophagus were exposed and a single injection (200 nl) of a 2% solution of cholera toxin B subunit (CTb) conjugated to AF 488 (CTb 488, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) was then injected into the tracheal adventitia or/and (in the same animal) a single injection (200 nl) of a 2% solution of CTb conjugated to AF 555 (CTb 555, Molecular Probes) was injected into the cervical esophagus wall between the muscularis and mucosal layers through a glass micropipette [29 , 35 (link)]. Great care was taken to prevent unwanted spread of dye to neighboring tissues. After 5 days, animals were perfusion fixed and tissue was processed as described below. Coronal sections of 20 μm were washed with PBS and blocked for 1 hr at room temperature with 2% BSA containing 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS. They were then incubated with goat anti-ChAT (1:1000; Millipore Corp.), rabbit anti-AR (1:200; Epitomics) or rabbit anti-ERα (1:5000; Millipore Corp) primary antibodies for 48 hr at 4°C. After the primary antibody was removed by rinsing, sections were incubated with anti-goat or rabbit AF 633 (1:1000; Invitrogen) secondary antibody for 1 hr at room temperature.

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.
