ChIP assays were performed as described previously 48 (link). Briefly, mouse tissues were minced and incubated with 1% formaldehyde for 15 min and quenched with 0.150 M glycine for 10 min. Samples were washed sequentially with cold PBS, and resuspended in cell lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10% Glycerol, 0.5% NP-40, and 0.25% Triton X-100), and then homogenized. The chromatin was sheared in nuclear lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, and 0.2% SDS) to an average size of 200–500 bp by sonication, and then diluted 3-fold in ChIP dilution buffer (0.01% SDS, 1.1% Triton X-100, 1.2 mM EDTA, 16.7 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.1, and 167 mM NaCl), and was subjected to immunoprecipitation by magnetic protein G beads (Invitrogen) conjugated with AR (ab74272, abcam) or β-catenin antibody (610154, BD Biosciences). Cross-links were reversed and chromatin DNA fragments were analyzed by real-time qPCR with specific primers (Supplemental Table 9).

Human breast cancer tissue microarrays (BR20810, US Biomax) were deparaffinized and subject to antigen retrieval in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 10 minutes in a pressure cooker. Endogenous peroxidase was quenched with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes. Sections were blocked in 5% goat serum in PBS for an hour and incubated with either Sox10 (NBP2-44474, Novus) or AR (ab74272, abcam) primary antibody overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with the appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary at room temperature for 30 minutes. Antibodies were incubated in blocking solution. Sections were then incubated in DAB substrate (Sigma Aldrich) and counterstained with Haematoxylin. Sections were dehydrated in ethanol prior to clearing in xylene before mounting the slides. Positive pixels were enumerated using an Aperio Scanscope.

Protein subcellular fractionation isolation was following the instruction provided in the kit as previously described [7 (link)]. 500–1000 μg of protein was subjected to immunoprecipitation using 2.5 μg of rabbit polyclonal antibody, anti-AR N-20 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and 2.5 μg of rabbit polyclonal antibody, anti-AR (ab74272, Abcam). After separation of immunoprecipitated proteins using magnetic protein A/G Dynabeads (Invitrogen), pellets were washed by lysis buffer (containing 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EGTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl, and 1% Triton X-100) three times, 5 min each. Proteins were disassociated from the magnetic beads by incubating with 0.1 M glycine (pH 2.2–2.7) for 10 min. A part of co-IP samples was sent to FitGene Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (Guangzhou, China) for mass spectrometry (MS) detection and bioinformatic analysis, and the other was for Western blot analysis.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and Luciferase Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis and luciferase reporter assays were performed in our previous study.9 (link) The following antibodies were applied including AR (ab74272, Abcam) and STAT3 (ab32500, Abcam) antibodies. Rabbit anti-IgG antibodies (2729, CST) served as a negative control. RT-PCR was performed with specific primers flanking the AR-binding site (forward: 5’- TGGAAGCCGAGGAACAGGGTCA −3’; reverse: 5’- GCGTGGAGATGGGCAGGGTTAA −3’) in the HMGB1 promoter and the STAT3-binding site (forward: 5’-TCCAGAGTGAGGTTCAGCCTTT-3’; reverse: 5’- CTCTAGGCCATCCTGCCTTTCT-3’) in the gankyrin promoter.
The AR-binding sites of the HMGB1 promoter (sequence: AGGAACAGGGTCAGC, +1159 to +1173 from the HMGB1 transcription site) and the STAT3-binding sites of the gankyrin promoter (sequence: CTGTTTAGAAA, +177 to +187 from to the gankyrin transcription site) or their mutant sequences were cloned into the pGL3-basic luciferase reporter vector; the pRL-TK Renilla luciferase plasmid (Promega, USA) was applied for transfection efficiency normalization. Cells were harvested at 2 day after transfection, and HMGB1 and gankyrin transcription activities were calculated via detecting luminescence with a Dual-Luciferase Assay Kit (Promega, USA). The fold induction value was calculated relative to Renilla luciferase activity.

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.
