AR Interactome Profiling in LNCaP Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The LNCaP cells were treated
with drugs for 24 h and lysed in TBS, 0.1% Triton X-100, protease,
and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche). Immunoprecipitation was performed
using anti-AR (AR441, Santa Cruz). Western blot was used to detect
AR (PG-21, Millipore), RNA polymerase II (clone 8WG16; Covance), DDX5
(Millipore #05-850), or DDX17 (Millipore). The immunoprecipitated
AR was separated by SDS-PAGE and stained with SimplyBlue (Themo Fisher).
Gel bands were excised and destained in ammonium bicarbonate. After
disulfide bond reduction with 10 mM tris(carboxyethyl)phosphine and
thiol alkylation with 50 mM iodoacetamide, the gel bands were incubated
with trypsin (Promega) overnight. Peptides were extracted with 0.1%
trifluoroacetic acid/70% acetonitrile and lyophilized. The samples
were prepared and loaded along with a protein standard (yeast alcohol
dehydrogenase) for analysis on a MALDI Q-TOF instrument (Waters) following
separation by liquid chromatography using a C18 column (Waters). Peptide
analysis was performed using Scaffold (Proteome Software, Inc.), with
the relative quantities determined only on proteins with >95% probability
of identity and a minimum of five peptides per sample.

Quantitative Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 80 µg of protein was loaded into the wells of an 8–10% SDS-PAGE gel and subsequently transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Bucks, UK). Following this, the membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk for 1 h at room temperature. Next, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against AR (1:500, PG-21, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and CDYL (1:1000, ab5188, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The protein bands were then visualized using an ECL kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). For Western blot densitometry and band quantification, image analysis software (Quantity One, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was utilized. GAPDH levels were employed as an internal control. This software allowed for the quantification of protein levels, including the amount of protein used, primary and secondary antibody binding, and subsequent detection. Loading control measures were employed to ensure accurate quantification.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Assay for CDYL and TNP1 Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
6 × 106 cells/mL were cross-linked in situ using 1% formaldehyde from Sigma-Aldrich (Burlington, MA, USA). Following cross-linking, the cells were lysed and subjected to sonication to fragment DNA into pieces ranging from approximately 300 to 1000 base pairs in size. The ChIP assay was carried out using the ChIP Assay Kit with Magnetic Protein A/G Beads, following the manufacturer’s recommendations provided by Millipore (Billerica, MA, USA). The pre-cleared chromatin was then subjected to immunoprecipitation with antibodies specific to AR (PG-21; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) or CDYL (ab5188, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) overnight. DNA fragments that formed complexes with the target protein were isolated and subsequently identified through quantitative PCR. This PCR was performed to validate the presence of the CDYL and TNP1 genes, with each sample undergoing triple repeats. The PCR cycles consisted of an initial step at 95 °C for 20 s, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 3 s and annealing/extension at 60 °C for 30 s. The PCR primers are: 5′-TCCATTCACAGGACGCTCAC-3′ and 5′-AGTGGGTGGCTTGACATCAG-3′ for CDYL, and 5′-CCTGACACTGTCCGTTCTCA-3′ and 5′-TGTGCATGGACCCTTTAGCC-3′ for TNP1.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Assay of AR, Gli Transcription Factors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP-qPCR assays were used to determine the association of endogenous AR protein with a MAOA ARE in LNCaP cells grown in phenol red-free medium containing 5% CSS for 72 hours and then treated with R1881 or ethanol for another 24 hours, endogenous AR protein with two known AREs of the PSA and FKBP5 genes in LNCaP cells (shCon and shMAOA), and endogenous Gli1 and Gli2 proteins with a GliBS in YAP1 promoter in LNCaP cells (shCon and shMAOA) by a SimpleChIP Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Cell Signaling) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the chromatin was crosslinked with nuclear proteins, enzymatically digested with micrococcal nuclease followed by sonication, and immunoprecipitated with anti-AR (PG-21, Millipore, RRID: AB_310214; or D6F11, Cell Signaling, RRID: AB_10691711), anti-Gli1 (H-300, Santa Cruz, RRID: AB_2111764), or anti-Gli2 (Cat# ab26056, Abcam, RRID: AB_2111901) antibody. Normal IgG included in the kit was used as a negative control for IP. The immunoprecipitates were pelleted with agarose beads, purified, and subjected to qPCR with primers specifically targeting the ARE-centric MAOA, PSA and FKBP5 genomic sequences or the GliBS-centric YAP1 promoter region. Details on primers used for qPCR are provided in Supplementary Materials and Methods.

Cells were transfected with indicated plasmids on Poly-D-Lysine-coated coverslips (neuVitro) and cultured in phenol red-free medium supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum. For the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) groups, 1 nM DHT was added at 24 hr after transfection. At 48 hr after transfection, cells were fixed with 70% ethanol, and incubated with a pan-AR antibody (PG-21, Millipore; 1:200) overnight at 4°C and subsequently with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibody (Invitrogen; 1:1000) for 1 hr at room temperature in the dark. Nuclei were then stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Confocal images were obtained by using a Leica TCS SP2 system with a 40X oil-immersion objective on a Z-stage.

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.
