Exploring OCT4A Regulation of FTX

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To explore the potential mechanism of OCT4A on FTX expression, the online databases JASPAR (http://jaspar.genereg.net) and PROMO (http://alggen.lsi.upc.es/cgibin/promo_v3/promo/promoinit.cgi?dirDB=TF_8.3) were used to predict the possible binding regions of OCT4A and the FTX promoters. A ChIP Kit (Axl-Biotech, China) was used to perform ChIP assays according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, cells were incubated with 1% formaldehyde (Solarbio, China) for 10 min for DNA–protein cross-link generation. Cell lysates were then collected and sonicated to yield genomic DNA fragments of 200–600 bp and immunoprecipitated with an OCT4A antibody (Abcam, UK). Normal rabbit IgG was used as a control. qPCR was conducted using ChamQ SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme, China). Agarose gel (Biowest, France) electrophoresis was used to analyze the PCR products.

Primary CRC tissues and paired non-tumor tissues from 37 patient volunteers were collected from the Tianjin Third Central Hospital. The clinicopathological data of these patients are provided in Table 1. A portion of the specimens was stored at −80°C and used to investigate circ-CSPP1, miR-431, and LASP1 mRNA expression levels and analyze their correlations. Also, a portion of the specimens was used for histological analysis by two pathologists using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Briefly, CRC samples were fixed in formaldehyde (Solarbio, Beijing, China), blocked in paraffin, and then sectioned at 4 µm intervals. The sections were stained with hematoxylin (Solarbio) for 5 min and eosin (Solarbio) for 3 min, followed by the observation of the images under a microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
According to the instruction manual of the assay kit (#WLA106a; Wanleibio), formaldehyde (Solarbio) was added to each sample and incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Glycine was incubated with the sample, and the medium was removed and washed twice with pre-chilled PBS. The cells were scraped into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube using a cell scraper, centrifuged to collect the precipitate, and then incubated with Buffer A and Buffer B, as well as EDTA. After terminating the digestion for two min on ice, the precipitate was collected by centrifugation. The nuclear membrane was disrupted using an ultrasound bath, and anti-SP1 antibody (#MA5-35331, 1:100, Thermo Fisher) was added to the samples, which were then incubated overnight at 4 °C on a rocking mixer. The sample was then mixed with magnetic beads, allowing the supernatant to be removed by a magnetic separator. ChIP Elution Buffer was added to the magnetic beads, which were placed at 4 °C for half an hour. After DNA purification, HTR2B expression was analyzed using qRT-PCR.

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.
