after transfection. Briefly, the cells were washed with PBS followed by brief
vortex, and incubated in a lysis buffer on ice for 10 min. The lysates were
precleared by centrifugation, and 50 µl of the samples were aliquoted for input.
The remaining lysates were incubated with streptavidin magnetic beads (Thermo
Fisher Scientific). After coated with RNase-free bovine serum albumin and yeast
tRNA (both from Sigma), the beads were incubated at 4°C for 3 h, washed twice
with ice-cold lysis buffer, three times with the low-salt buffer, and once with
the high-salt buffer. The bound RNAs were purified using TRIzol and then for
NEAT1 expression analysis by RT-qPCR.
