Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Sigma) containing Complete-ULTRA protease-inhibitor and PhoStop phosphatase-inhibitor cocktails (Roche), and sonicated with Bioruptor200 (Diagenode) at high frequency, alternating 30 s on/off for 3 min. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was performed using Bolt 10% Bis-Tris Plus gels (ThermoFisher) in a Novex MiniCell (ThermoFisher). Protein transfer was performed using the semi-dry iBlot2 system (ThermoFisher) and iBlot Transfer Stacks (ThermoFisher). The following primary antibodies were used: Esrrb (1:1000, mouse mAb, Perseus Proteomics); Klf2 (kind gifts from Huck-Hui Ng; 1:500, rabbit serum, Yeo et al., 2014 (link); and Hitoshi Niwa (1:1000, mouse mAb; Yamane et al., 2018 ); Oct4 (1:1000, rabbit mAb, Cell Signaling); P-Y705-Stat3 (1:1000, rabbit mAb, Cell Signaling); αTubulin (1:10000, mouse mAb, Abcam). Detection was achieved using HRP-linked secondary antibodies at 1:10000 against the appropriate species (GE Healthcare) and ECL Plus Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare).

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and Re-ChIP Assay

MIN6 cells were fixed and chromatin DNA-protein was cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 min, then quenched with 125 mM glycine for 5 min, and finally washed with phosphate-buffered saline. Fixed cells were sonicated with a Bioruptor 200 (Diagenode) and lysed in a RIPA assay buffer containing protease inhibitors. DNA-protein complexes were immunoprecipitated with indicated antibodies or IgG isotype controls and washed. Cross-links were reversed at 65°C for 4 h in Tris buffer containing 5 M NaCl and 0.5 M EDTA. DNA was extracted by phenol/CHCl3 and precipitated with ethanol followed by proteinase K and RNase A treatment. Precipitated DNA and 1% control inputs were analyzed by QPCR.
For Re-ChIP samples, eluates were diluted 10-fold to reduce SDS concentration, and multiple samples were pooled and scaled up 18-fold to provide sufficient material for a second round of immunoprecipitations with a second pull-down antibody. Cross-links were reversed with 0.2 M NaCl at 65°C for 5 h, and the DNA was purified by phenol-chloroform extraction. Promoter DNA precipitate was measured by QPCR and normalized to IgG and input DNA control samples.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Assay Protocol

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed as previously described (6 (link)). Briefly, MIN6 cells were fixed, and chromatin DNA-protein was cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 min, quenched with 125 mmol/L glycine for 5 min, and washed with PBS. Fixed cells were sonicated with a Bioruptor 200 (Diagenode) and lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer containing protease inhibitor cocktail. DNA-protein complexes were immunoprecipitated with the indicated antibodies or IgG isotype controls and extensively washed. Cross-links were reversed at 65°C for 4 h in Tris buffer containing 5 mol/L NaCl and 0.5 mol/L EDTA. DNA was extracted by phenol/CHCl3 and precipitated with ethanol, followed by proteinase K and ribonuclease A treatment. Precipitated DNA and 1% control inputs were analyzed by qPCR.

Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Sigma) containing Complete-ULTRA protease-inhibitor and PhosSTOP phosphatase-inhibitor cocktails (Roche), and sonicated with a Bioruptor 200 (Diagenode) at high frequency, alternating 30 s on/off for 3 min. SDS-PAGE was performed using Bolt 10% Bis-Tris Plus gels (Thermo Fisher) in a Novex Mini-Cell (Thermo Fisher). Protein transfer was performed using the semi-dry iBlot2 system (Thermo Fisher) and iBlot Transfer Stacks (Thermo Fisher). Detection was achieved using horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibodies diluted 1:10,000 against the appropriate species (GE Healthcare) and the ECL Plus Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty-four hours after serum deprivation treatments ChIP assays were performed as previously reported for MIN6 cells [24 (link)]. Briefly, cells were cross-linked with 4% paraformaldehyde and the chromatin was fragmented by sonication using the Bioruptor 200 (Diagenode) in an ice-cold water bath. Antibodies against NFATc1 (H-110), NFATc2 (G1-D10) or TFII-I (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were immobilized on protein A-Sepharose beads and used to precipitate protein:DNA complexes. The bound DNA fragments were quantified by qPCR using SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystem) with primer sets to amplify various promoter fragments (−3036/−2826, −2775/−2432, −2245/−1855, −309/−91, and −36/+139). All primer sequences can be provided upon request.

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.
