Embryos were collected for 30 min and then aged at 25°C for 110 or 170 min to target nc13 and nc14b developmental stages. Embryos were then fixed and manually sorted as previously described (21 (link)). The following volumes of antibodies were used in ChIP experiments: Pc, 10 μl (47 (link)); Pho, 5 μl (48 (link)); E(z), 10 μl (49 (link)); Pcl, 10 μl (50 ); Hb, 5 μl; Cad, 5 μl (21 (link)); H3K27me3, 0.2 μl (Millipore #07-449); H3, 0.5 μl (Abcam #ab1791); mock, 0.5 μl (immunoglobulin G, Cell Signaling #2729); H3K27ac, 0.2 μl (Abcam #ab4729); and P-Rpb1 CTD (S5), 2 μl (Cell Signaling #D9N51). To approximately equalize the chromatin amount per ChIP using embryos at different developmental stages, we used a 2:1 ratio of nc13:nc14b as determined by total mass. Carefully staged embryos were then subjected to ChIP assays, and the enrichment values were calculated as previously described (21 (link)). Quanta Biosciences Perfecta SYBR green supermix was used for qPCR. All amplifications were performed in triplicate using Rotor Gene RG3000 thermocycler (Corbett Research). Sequences of PCR primers are listed in table S2.

Four-micrometer-thick sections from OSCC paraffin-embedded tissues were cut using a microtome and the sections were deposited on slides. Next, the slides were incubated at 60°C for 20min, deparaffinized in xylen and rehydrated in serial dilutions of ethanol (ethanol 100%, 96% and 70% for 2 min) and H2O which followed by incubation in PBS 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10min. The slides were then immersed in citrate buffer (pH = 6) and antigen retrieval was performed using microwave at 90°C for 15min. The sections were thereafter incubated with the primary antibodies, anti-H3K27ac (Abcam ab4729,1/200) and antiH3K27me3 (Cell signaling #9733, 1/200), for 1h at RT (For negative control PBS (phosphate buffered saline) was added instead of the primary antibody) which followed by three washes with PBS and then incubated with 100 ul of primary antibody amplifier master for 20min, after washing with PBS slides were incubated with 100 ul of secondary antibody for 30min, then washed 3 times in PBS. 1 drop of DAB chromogen concentrate was added to 1 drop of DAB substrate buffer (1:1) and 100 ul of it was used to develop the signal. After developing signal by DAB chromogen, the slides were dehydrated with serial dilutions of alcohol and mounted.

The prepared chromatin was thawed on ice while 10ug of antibodies against either H3K27ac (Abcam #Ab4729) or H3K27me3 (Cell Signaling #CS9733S) was conjugated to a mix of magnetic Protein A and Protein G coupled beads (Invitrogen #100.02D and #100.04D, respectively) in the presence of 0.5% BSA in PBS with rotation at 4°C for 2 hours. Beads were washed 3 times with 0.5%BSA in PBS and either 5ug of chromatin was added to the H3K27ac ChIP or 10ug of chromatin was added to the H3K27me3 ChIP and rotated overnight at 4°C. The beads were washed 2 times with Tris-based RIPA buffer (0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 10mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 1mM EDTA pH 8.0, 0.1% Sodium Deoxycholate), 2 times with 0.3M NaCl RIPA (0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 10mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 1mM EDTA pH 8.0, 0.1% Sodium Deoxycholate, 0.3M NaCl), 2 times with LiCl Buffer (250mM LiCl, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5% Sodium Deoxycholate, 1mM EDTA pH 8.0, 10mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0) and 2 times with TE buffer pH 7.6 (Fisher Scientific cat. no. BP2474-1). The beads were resuspended in 100uL of TE and RNAseA and PK digested/reverse crosslinked and purified as described in the chromatin prep. Chromatin libraries were prepared with 10–20ng of Input or ChIP’d DNA according to the ThruPLEX-FD Prep Kit (Rubicon #R40048) and sequenced by SE75 Next-Seq.

Embryos were collected on grape agar plates, dechorionated for 2 min in 50% bleach, and fixed in methanol-heptane (1:1) for 5 min. The fixed embryos were stored in methanol at −20°C. Before immunostaining, the embryos were first rehydrated gradually (5 min each in 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1 PTA:methanol and then 10 min in PTA). PTA consisted of PBS supplemented with 0.1% Triton X-100, and 0.02% azide. The embryos were then blocked in PBTA (PTA plus 1% BSA) for 30 min and incubated with primary antibodies (1:100 in PBTA) for 1 h at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-Histone 3 (Abcam, ab1791), anti-H3K9me1 (Active Motif, 39249), anti-H3K9me2 (Active Motif, 39683 and 39375), anti-H3K9me3 (Active Motif, 39765; Millipore, clone CMA308), anti-H3K9ac (Abcam, ab10812), anti-H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729), anti-H3K27me3 (Cell Signaling, 9733), and anti-H4ac (Millipore, 06-598). The embryos were washed three times for 5 min each in PBTA and incubated with the appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes) for 1 h in the dark at room temperature. They were then washed four times for 5 min each in PBTA and mounted in VectaShield mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories). For TALE-light stainings, GFP- or mCherry-tagged purified TALE-light protein (1:500) was included during the incubation with secondary antibodies.

The remaining steps were performed as described in the original protocol. The following antibodies were used: H3K27ac (Abcam; ab4729), H3K27me3 (Cell Signaling; 9733S), and rabbit anti-mouse IgG (Abcam; ab46540). CUT&RUN libraries were submitted to the Duke Sequencing and Genomic Technologies Shared Resource facility for sequencing on an Illumina NextSeq500 using a 42-bp paired-end mode.

The harvested cells were lysed and centrifuged for supernatant collection. Then, 25 μg of protein was loaded into each well of a 10% or 15% SDS-PAGE gel. The separated proteins were then transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, followed by 1 h room temperature blocking with 5% non-fat milk. The membrane was then incubated with primary antibody (TRIM27: Abcam, USA, ab154931; p16: Abcam, ab51243; cleaved caspase-3: Abcam, ab2302; β-gal: Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-377257; p53: Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-393031; p21: Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-6246; H3K27ac: Abcam, ab4729; GAPDH: Cell Signaling Technology, #5174) overnight at 4°C. The membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibody (Beyotime Biotechnology: A0208 or A0216) for 1 h at 37°C. The proteins were visualized by exposing the membrane to a chemiluminescence detection kit (ECL, Millipore, USA) for image scanning. GAPDH was utilized as the loading control.

IGEPAL CA-630 (Sigma) was added to a final concentration of 0.3% to the homogenate, followed by douncing 5 more times with tight pestle. Homogenized cortices were filtered through a 40um strainer, and centrifuged at 500g at 4°C. The nuclei were resuspended in CUT&RUN wash buffer, and CUT&RUN experiments were performed as described above using anti-MECP2 antibodies (Chen et al., 2003 (link)), anti-H3K27ac antibodies (Abeam ab4729, RRID:AB_2118291) and IgG (Cell Signaling #2729S, RRID:AB_1031062).

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.
