For transient transfection with miRs, cells at 50% confluence were transfected using Oligofectamine (Life Technologies Milan Italy) with 100 nM of pre-miR-221, scrambled, or anti miR-221 (Ambion, Life Technologies Milan Italy). In order to overexpress DNMT3b, cells were transfected with Lipofectamine 2000 and 3 μg of DNMT3b cDNA, a kind gift of Ana Portela (IDIBELL, Barcelona, Spain). To transiently knockdown DNMT3b gene expression, a pool of DNMT3b siRNAs is transfected using Lipopfectamine 2000 at a final concentration of 100 nM (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, MA, USA). To stably knockdown DNMT3b, cells were infected with a shDNMT3b (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, MA, USA) and the expression of DNMT3b studied by qRT-PCR in pooled cell populations (data not shown).

Total protein was isolated using the AllPrep DNA/RNA/Protein Midi Kit
(Qiagen, Valencia, CA) according to manufacturer’s instructions. For
Western blot analysis, 20–40 μg of total or nuclear protein was
loaded on a 12% acrylamide gel, transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride
membrane, and then blocked in 5% non-fat milk. Primary antibodies against DNMT3A
(sc-373905), DNMT3B (sc-376043), MYB (05175 MI), HbF (sc-21756), and HbA
(sc-21757) purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX) were diluted in
the range of 1:250 to 1:2000, incubated overnight and then followed by treatment
with secondary antibody. The immunoblots were developed using
SuperSignal® West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo Scientific) and
analysed on a LAS-3000 gel imager (Fujifilm Medical Systems, Stamford, CT).
Blots were processed with Restore™ Plus Western blot stripping buffer and
probed with β-actin (also termed ACTB, sc-53646) antibody as the internal
control. The band intensity of different proteins was quantified by densitometry
with MultiGauge Software (Fujifilm Medical Systems) and normalized to the band
intensity of β-actin.

Total protein was isolated in lysis buffer as previously described (14 (link)). Lysate was precleaned with protein A magnetic beads (Cell Signaling Technology) at 4°C for 1 h. GC receptor (GR) primary antibody (2 μg) (Cell Signaling Technology) was added to lysate containing 500 μg total proteins, and the mixture was gently rotated overnight at 4°C. After that, precleaned protein A magnetic beads were mixed into lysate and rotated for 1 h at room temperature. Samples were followed with 3× cold PBS washing, and proteins on beads were eluted for immunoblotting analyses of GR, DNMT3b (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), DNMT3a (Cell Signaling Technology) and DNMT1 (Cell Signaling Technology).

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.
