Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 24 h, and then dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. The paraffin blockers were cut into 5 μm sections and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The H&E images were taken from histological light microscopy (Olympus BX51) and adipocyte diameter was measured by imageJ software.
For immunofluorescence staining, SVF-derived beige adipocytes were washed twice with PBS and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 20 min at 22 °C. After washing, the fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 (Lablead) for 20 min and then blocked with 5% BSA for 30 min at 22 °C. After washing, the adipocytes were incubated with anti-PRDM16 (R&D, 1:50), anti-YAP (CST, 14074, 1:100) or anti-TAZ (CST, 83669, 1:100) at 4 °C overnight. After washing with PSBT, the adipocytes were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-sheep (Invitrogen, A11015, 1:300) and Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated anti-rabbit (Abcam, ab150080, 1:300) for 1 h at 22 °C, followed by counterstaining with DAPI (CST, 1:5000). Adipocytes were imaged using Nikon A1RSi+ Confocal Imaging Systems for Fluorescence.

CUT&Tag was performed by using Hyperactive Universal CUT&Tag Assay Kit (Vazyme, TD903) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. In brief, in the 6th day of differentiation, the SVF-derived beige adipocytes were digested from the cell plate, and around 5 × 105 cells in 1.5 mL tude per group were used to do the assay. After binding to ConA beads, the nuclei of adipocytes were incubated at 4 °C overnight with anti-PRDM16 (R&D, 1:50) or anti-C/EBPβ (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100) and the corresponding IgG control, respectively. Washing for 3 times, the nucleus-ConA beads were incubated with anti-sheep or anti-mouse secondary antibody for 1 h at 22 °C. After washing, the nucleus-ConA beads was incubated with pA/G-Tnp and get the target DNA fragments followed by DNA extraction procedure.
For DNA library amplification, the extracted DNA was used to do PCR for 15 cycles with adaptor primers as F: TCGTCGGCAGCGTCAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAG, R: GTCTCGTGGGCTCGGAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAG, followed by DNA product purification procedure. RT-qPCR was performed to detect the relative enrichment of targeted DNA product. The qPCR primers used for the indicated promoter region of S100b are F: 5’-CACTTCCTACCCAACAGACC-3’, R: 5’-AGGATAGGGAGGAGTTAGACAC-3’.

Frozen iWAT and iBAT were minced and homogenized in a hypotonic buffer (10 mM HEPES, 10 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM DTT, and 1x protease inhibitor cocktail (cOmplete Mini, Roche)) by a dounce homogenizer. Homogenate was incubated on ice for 10 min and then mixed with 1/20 vol of 10% IGEPAL CA-630 (Sigma-Aldrich, I8896). Samples were then filtered through a 100 μm cell strainer and centrifuged at 1000 x g for 10 min. After centrifugation, lipid and cytoplasmic fractions were removed and nuclear pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.42 M NaCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 1x protease inhibitor cocktail, and 20% Glycerol). Samples were incubated on ice for 30 min and vortexed for 15 s every 10 min during the incubation. After lysis, samples were centrifuged at 20,000 x g for 10 min and the supernatant was taken as the nuclear extract.

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.
