ERα (HC-20) and PR(AB-52) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (catalogs #SC-543 and #SC-810, respectively, Santa Cruz, CA). Both antibodies were diluted 1:400 in 2.5% horse serum (in phosphate buffer saline) and hybridized to tissue sections overnight at 4 °C. Frozen tissue sections were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min followed by three 3-min washes in phosphate buffer saline, one 5 min incubation in 3% H2O2, and a 1-h incubation in 2.5% horse serum before incubation with the primary antibodies. The ImmPRESS Excel Staining kit, anti-rabbit Ig (catalog #MP-7601, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) was used for ERα according to manufacturer's instructions. Goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (catalogs # A11001, Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY. 1:400 in 2.5% horse serum, 1 h) was used as secondary antibody for PR immunostaining.

ChIP Assay with Hormone Treatments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were hormone-deprived as described above prior to treatment with 0.1 % EtOH, 1 nM E2, 1 μM ICI, 100 nM P4, or 1 μM RU486 for 45 minutes. ChIP experiments were performed as described previously [20 (link)] with minor modifications:

Nuclei were extracted prior to sonication by resuspending the fixed cell pellet in nuclei preparation buffer (5 mM 1,4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid (PIPES), 85 mM KCl [pH 8.0] + 0.5 % Nonidet P-40 + protease inhibitor) with rotation at 4 °C for 30 minutes. Nuclei were then pelleted and lysed and/or sonicated as described.

SDS was omitted from buffers Tris-sucrose-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid I (TSEI) and TSEII.

Carrier molecules were added during immunoprecipitation [21 (link)].

In immunoprecipitation experiments, we used ERα (HC-20) and rabbit immunoglobulin G (sc2027) antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Dallas, TX, USA). PCR was performed as described above, normalized to percentage input. Primer sequences are available in Additional file 2.

Western Blotting and Immunofluorescence Analyses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The primary antibodies used for Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses were the following: ERα (HC-20, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA, sc-543), ERK (Santa Cruz, sc94), HIF1α (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom, ab2185) and HIF2α (Abcam, ab199), pAKT_Ser473 (Cell Signaling, 4060). For western blotting, the peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies directed against rabbit or mouse constant fragments were purchased from GE HealthCare, Chicago, IL, USA. For immunofluorescence, secondary antibodies coupled with 594 or 488 Alexa Fluor dyes were obtained from Abcam. The slides were mounted in mounting medium with DAPI (Sigma–Aldrich, Saint-Louis, MI, USA). Images were obtained with an ApoTome Axio Z1 Imager microscope (Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany) and processed with Axio Vision Software (4;8;2 SP1, Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany). Fluorescence was quantified with ImageJ software from images obtained with identical exposure time.

ChIP assays were performed as previously described (10 (link)). Experiments were conducted in hormone-depleted MCF-7 cells treated with 0.1% Control EtOH Vehicle or 10nM E2 for 45min. Chromatin was cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were washed with PBS and collected using lysis buffer supplemented with 1× complete protease inhibitor mix (Roche). Chromatin was sonicated in lysis buffer to 300–500 bp size fragments. Antibodies were incubated with cell lysates overnight for chromatin collection and then with Dynabead Protein A and G (Life Technologies) for 6 h. ChIP DNA was isolated using PCR puri cation kit (QIAGEN) per the manufacturer’s instructions and used for quantitative real-time PCR. Amounts of ChIP DNA were normalized to inputs. Antibodies used for ChIP experiments were H3K4me3 (ab8895, Abcam); H3K9me3 (ab8898, Abcam); p53 (DO-1, sc-29435); RNA Polymerase II (29634A, CTD4H8 clone, Upstate); ERα (HC-20, Santa Cruz); ERβ antibodies were a combination of CWK-F12 (produced in our lab) (25 (link)), GTX70182 (GeneTex), GR40 (Calbiochem), and PA1-311 (Af nity Bioreagents); N-CoR (sc-1609, Santa Cruz); and SMRT (sc-1610, Santa Cruz).

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.
