A set of four human Fas-specific siRNAs were obtained from Qiagen. W620-5FU-R cells were transiently transfected with these set of four siRNAs and analyzed for Fas expression by RT-PCR. One Fas siRNA (Cat # S100000637) was used to silence Fas expression for functional studies. SW620-5FU-R cells were seeded onto 24-well plates at 2.5×105 cells/well with scramble (200 nM) or Fas (200 nM) siRNA for 24 hours. Cells were then harvested and replated at 2×104 cells/well. Cells were then treated with or without verticillin A (20 nM) and MegaFasL (250ng/mL) for 24 hours. Cells were collected and analyzed for cell death by staining with Annexin V and PI. For sensitivity to 5-FU and verticillin A, cells were treated with or without verticillin A (20nM) and 5-FU (1 μg/mL) for 72 hours and analyzed for cell death by staining with Annexin V and PI and flow cytometry analysis. G9a-, SUV39H1- and SUV39H2-specific siRNAs were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotech (Cat# sc-43777, sc-38463 and sc-106822). SW620-5FU-R cells were transfected as described above. Cells were then analyzed for G9a, SUV39H1, SUV39H2 and Fas expression using real-time RT-PCR. Acidic extracts were also prepared from these cells and analyzed by Western blotting using anti-H3K9me3 antibody (Abcam).

Zona pellucida-free embryos were washed 3 times in PBS, fixed in freshly prepared 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, permeabilized in 1% Triton X-100 in PBS, and incubated in blocking solution (1% bovine serum albumin in PBS) for 1 h. For immunolabeling, the embryos were incubated overnight at 4 °C with an anti-H3K9me3 antibody (1:800 dilution; ab8898, Abcam) followed by 3 washes with PBS and a 1-h incubation with a FITC-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000 dilution; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) secondary antibody. The samples were then washed and counterstained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Beyotime) to label DNA. Fluorescence was analyzed using a Nikon Eclipse Ti-S microscope equipped with a 198 Nikon DS-Ri1 digital camera (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).
The cell numbers in blastocysts were estimated by counting nuclei stained using DAPI, and the number of TE cells was determined by counting nuclei positive for CDX2. The cell number of ICM was estimated as the total number of nuclei minus the number of TE nuclei (41 (link), 42 (link)). The blastocyst was incubated with anti-CDX2 (1:200, BioGenex Inc., San Ramon, CA) for detecting the TE, and the secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor Cy3-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (1:1000 dilution; Beyotime, Shanghai, China).

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.
