Cells and muscle tissue were lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Protein lysates were heated at 95°C for 5 min in 5 × SDS sample buffer, then separated by 10% SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (30 μg each lane), followed by transfer to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore, Burlington, MA, United States) using a Mini Trans-Blot Cell system (Bio-Rad).

Protein fractions were added to Laemmli sample buffer and loaded onto SDS-PAGE gels (4–20% acrylamide and 12% acrylamide for histones; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) for protein gel electrophoresis. Immunoblots were later incubated in primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C followed by 1 h incubation with secondary antibodies and visualization on an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR). Following imaging, blots were put in a stripping buffer if necessary (1:50 NaOH) for 10 min and re-blocked prior to incubation with the primary antibody for the housekeeping protein (actin or histone H3) for 2 h. Secondary antibody incubation and imaging was performed in the same manner. The following primary antibodies (all of rabbit host) were used: anti-H3K27me3 (1:4000; Millipore #07-449), anti-Histone H3 (1:4000; Abcam #ab1791), anti-Ezh2 (1:2000; Abcam #ab3748), and anti-Actin (1:2000; Abcam #ab1801). Secondary antibodies were donkey anti-rabbit IRDye 800CW fluorescent antibodies (1:20,000; LI-COR #925-32213).

RIP was performed as previously described (Ng et al., 2012 (link)). In each immunoprecipitation for the RIP assay, 3 μg of the appropriate antibody was used. For the exogenous RIP assay, an anti-Sox2 (Abcam, ab59776) or anti-Nanog (Abcam, ab80892) antibody was used to bind to the RNA following ectopic expression of linc1614 with Sox2 or Nanog in 293T cells. For the native RIP assay, an anti-Sox2, anti-Nanog, anti-Oct4 (Abcam, ab19857), anti-Ezh2 (Abcam, ab3748), or anti-Suz12 (Abcam, ab12073) antibody was used to pull down the RNA associated with the corresponding proteins. The immunoprecipitated RNA was extracted using RNAiso and analyzed via qPCR. The fold enrichment was calculated relative to the corresponding control IgG sample.

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.
