Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed using an EZ-Magna ChIP™ A/G Kit (Millipore, 17-10086) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, cells treated with BIX were fixed in 1% formaldehyde and then sonicated. After centrifugation, supernatants containing immunocomplexes were incubated with anti-H3K9me2 (Millipore, 17-648), anti-EHMT2 (Novus, NBL1-10164), anti-RNA pol II (Millipore, 05-623), or anti-NF-κB/p65 (Millipore, 17-10060) at 4°C overnight. Protein G-conjugated magnetic beads were added to lysates and the mixtures were rotated for a further 2 h at 4°C. After immunocomplexes were washed six times with washing buffer, the DNA fragments bound to H3K9me2, EHMT2, RNA polymerase II, or NF-κB/p65 were eluted and the abundance was analyzed using PCR (35 cycles). The primer pair used for Beclin-1 sequencing was: 5′-CCC GTA TCA TAC CAT TCC TAG-3′ and 5′-GAA ACT CGT GTC CAG TTTCAG-3′.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with EZ-Magna ChIP A/G kit (Millipore) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, protein extract form 1 × 107 cells were used for each reaction. Proteins were cross-linked to DNA by adding formaldehyde to the cell culture medium to a final concentration of 1 % at room temperature for 10 min and quenched by addition of 0.125 M glycine for 5 min at room temperature. The nucleus was isolated with nuclear lysis buffer (Millipore) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Millipore). Cells were sonicated and sheared to yield fragments between 200 and 1000 bp. 5 μg of either anti-DNMT1 (Abcam), Normal mouse IgG (the negative control) and anti-RNA polII (Millipore) (the positive control) was added to the sonicated samples and incubated at 4 °C overnight with rotation. Immune complexes were collected with Protein A/G agarose beads and washed with low salt buffer, high salt buffer, LiCl buffer and TE buffer to remove nonspecific binding. Protein/DNA complex was reverse cross-linked and DNA was purified using spin columns. Purified DNA was detected with quantitative PCR. Primers for ChIP-qPCR were listed in Additional file 1: Table S1.

Cells were transfected with si-WDR5-2 or control siRNA for 72 h. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was conducted with the EZ-Magna ChIP A/G kit (Millipore) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 1 × 106 cells were used for each reaction. Cells were fixed in 1% formaldehyde at room temperature for 10 min, the nucleus was isolated with nuclear lysis buffer (Millipore) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Millipore). Chromatin DNA was sonicated and sheared to a length between 200 bp and 1000 bp. The sheared chromatin was immunoprecipitated at 4°C overnight with anti-WDR5 (Abcam, ab56919) and anti-H3K4me3 (Abcam, ab8580) antibodies. Normal rabbit IgG was used as a negative control and the anti-RNA pol-II (Millipore) antibody was used as a positive control. The WDR5, H3K4me3 and RNA pol-II protein level in the ChIP assays were detected by Western blotting (Fig S6). The negative control primers were used to detect the DNA fragment out of genes as a distal region control. Primers for ChIP-qPCR are listed in Supplementary Table 3.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ChIP and Re-ChIP assays were performed as described previously [24 (link)]. Briefly, Cell lysates were prepared, sonicated, and immunoprecipitated with anti-KMT2B (ab104444; abcam), anti-ERα (HC-20X; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc), anti-RNA Pol II (05-623B; Millipore) or anti-H3K4me1 (07–436; Millipore) antibodies. The protein-DNA cross-linking of the immunoprecipitated complexes were reversed and the DNA was extracted for subsequent Real-Time qPCR analysis. The primer sets for the qPCR are listed in S2 Table. For the Re-ChIP experiments, after the initial ChIP with the first antibody, the protein-DNA complexes were eluted by incubation for 30 min at 37°C in 25 μl 10 mM DTT. After centrifugation, the supernatant was diluted 20 times with Re-ChIP buffer and subjected again to the ChIP procedure with the second antibody.

ChIP experiments were performed on chromatin extracts according to the manufacturer's protocol (MAGnify ChIP; Life Technologies) by O.N. incubation with 2 μg of immobilized monoclonal anti‐RNA Pol II (Millipore), anti‐acetyl‐histone H3 (Lys9; Millipore), or rabbit IgG antibodies. A standard curve was generated for each primer pair testing 5‐point dilutions of input sample. Fold enrichment was quantified using qRT–PCR (SYBR Green; Qiagen) and calculated as a percentage of input chromatin (% Inp). Data from GAP‐scr vs. GAP‐2 conditions were normalized to an unrelated genomic region and represent the mean of three experiments ± SEM.

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.
