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.

Mouse hippocampus was harvested immediately after euthanasia. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was then performed as described in Broad ChIP protocol (http://www.roadmapepigenomics.org/protocols/type/experimental/). Briefly, tissues were minced and crosslinked in 1% formaldehyde (Thermo Scientific) for 15 min at room temperature and quenched with glycine for 5 min (Sigma). The samples were homogenized in cell lysis buffer containing proteinase inhibitors (complete, Roche) and chromatin was then fragmented to a size range of ~200–500 bp using a Branson 250 digital sonifier. Solubilized chromatin was then diluted and incubated with ~1 μg antibody at 4°C overnight. Immune complexes were captured with Protein A-sepharose beads, washed and eluted. Enriched chromatin was then subjected to crosslink reversal and proteinase K digestion at 65°C, phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. Isolated ChIP DNA was resuspended and quantified using the Qubit assay (Invitrogen). H3K4me1 (Abcam, ab8895), H3K4me3 (Millipore, #07-473), H3K9me3 (Abcam, ab8898), H3K27me3 (Millipore, #07-449), H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729), H3K36me3 (Abcam, ab9050) and H4K20me1 (Abcam, ab9051) were used to immunoprecipitate endogenous proteins.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed as previously described [16 (link)]. Differences in DNA enrichment for ChIP samples were determined by qPCR using 2.5% of the precipitated sample DNA and 0.02% of the input DNA. PCR primers used for ChIP are available upon request. Briefly, cells were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes and incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature with 0.125 M glycine to terminate the reaction. Nuclei were prepared, digested with 50 U micrococcal nuclease for 15 minutes at 37°C, and sonicated to yield chromatin fragments (200-400 bp). The precleared chromatin was incubated overnight at 4°C with H3K4me3 (07-473, Millipore, Billerica, MA), H3K27me2 (07-452, Millipore), H3K9me3 (Ab8898, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), followed by incubation with protein A agarose (Millipore), which was pre-equilibrated with sonicated salmon sperm DNA and bovine serum albumin. Immunoprecipitated material was washed extensively, and the crosslinks were reversed. DNA from the eluted chromatin was purified by phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation.

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.
