The total protein content was extracted using the RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime) with protease inhibitors, followed by protein concentration quantitation using a BCA kit (20201ES76, Yeason, Shanghai, China). Protein was separated by PAGE and then transferred onto PVDF membrane by a wet transfer. Following blocking with 5% BSA, membranes were probed with the primary antibodies against SOX5 (ab94396, Abcam, 1:1000), EZH2 (ab186006, Abcam, 1:2000), osteocalcin (OCN; ab133612, Abcam, 1:1000), Runx2 (ab236639, Abcam, 1:1000), Collagen I (ab34710, Abcam, 1:2000), GAPDH (ab8245, Abcam, 1:3000; internal reference) overnight at 4 °C. The membrane was then re-probed with diluted secondary antibodies against HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (ab6721, Abcam) or goat anti-mouse IgG (ab6789, Abcam) for 1 h at room temperature. Following visualization in chemiluminescence reagent, protein quantitative analysis was conducted by the ImageJ software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP assay was conducted using the EZ-Magna ChIP TMA kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA) as described previously [30 (link)]. HEK293T cells were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde. Cells were supplemented with the protease inhibitor and ultrasonicated to obtain 200–1000 bp chromatin fragments. DNA fragments were added into 900 μL of ChIP Dilution Buffer and 20 μL of 50× PIC. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected as Input. DNA fragments were immunoprecipitated with 1 μL of rabbit anti-SOX5 (ab94396, Abcam), while the NC group was supplemented with 1 μL of rabbit anti-IgG (ab172730, Abcam). Next, 20 μL of 5 M NaCl was added for de-crosslinking to recover the DNA content, from which the enriched chromatin fragments were detected by fluorescence real-time PCR (F: 5′-GCTAGTTATTAAATTCAT-3′, R: 5′-GTCATGTAAACTGAGAT-3′).

For retrograde labeling, anesthetized P0 pups were injected with Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated CTB (1 mg/ml; Invitrogen, volume injected: 300 µl) under ultrasound guidance using a Vevo 770 ultrasound backscatter microscopy system (Visual Sonics). Subcerebral injections were performed at the midbrain–hindbrain junction using a nanojector (Nanoject II Auto-Nanoliter Injector, Drummond Scientific Company 3-000-204) to label all SCPNs, including corticopontine projection neurons and corticospinal motor neurons. Injected pups were perfused at P7, and brains were collected and 40-µm-thick sections were cut at the cryostat and either directly incubated for 10 min with DAPI and mounted with ROTI Mount FluorCare (Roth) or treated for immunostaining. In the last case, slides were incubated with the blocking solution (10% goat serum and 0.3% Triton X-100) for 1 hr at RT and were then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies used were rat anti-Ctip2 (Bcl11b) (dil 1:300, Abcam ab18465), and rabbit anti-Sox5 (1:200, Abcam ab94396). Subsequent to three washes with PBS, the slides were incubated with corresponding Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody (1:300; Life Technologies) for 2 hr at RT. Sections were washed with PBS three times and incubated for 10 min in PBS with DAPI (1:1000) (Thermo Fisher) and mounted with ROTI Mount FluorCare (Roth).

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.
