ChIP-Seq Analysis of Transcription Factors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP was performed as previously described (22 (link),36 (link),37 (link)) using the following antibodies: AR N20 [SC-816X, Santa Cruz], GABPα [SC-22810, Santa Cruz], ERG [SC-353, Santa Cruz]. Biological replicates were used. Enrichment was tested with 6 μl DNA by real-time PCR using SYBRgreen (Applied Biosystems). Single-end SOLEXA libraries were prepared as previously described (36 (link)) and 36 bp sequence reads were generated by the Illumina HiSeq 2000. Sequence reads were aligned against the Human Reference Genome (assemby hg18, NCBI Build 36 (link)) using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) version 0.5.5 (38 (link)). Reads were filtered by removing those with a BWA alignment quality score less than 15 as well as duplicate reads. Enriched regions of the genome were identified by comparing ChIP samples to input samples using MACS (39 (link)) and SWEMBL (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/∼swilder/SWEMBL/). Only peaks that were identified by both MACS and SWEMBL (high confidence peaks) were used for further analyses.

CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were purified from spleen and lymph nodes of CD4CreGabpaf/f mice and littermate controls by FACS sorting (BD, Aria). In the time course culture experiment, naive T cells were purified, subject to α-CD3/28 and IL-2 culture, and collected at indicated time points. Total protein extracts were dissolved in SDS sample buffer, separated on 12% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore). The membranes were probed with antibodies against GABPα (sc-22810, Santa Cruz), CDK6 (3136, Cell Signaling), Cyclin D2 (3741, Cell Signaling), Mcm3 (4003, Cell Signaling), Mcm5 (A300-195A, Bethyl Laboratories), GADPH (ab9485, Abcam), and β-actin (AC-15, Sigma), and visualized with the Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore).

ChIP-qPCR Analysis of GABPA Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) for GABPα was performed using the ActiveMotif High Sensitivity kit. In brief, GBM1, T98G, HCT116, and HEK293T CRISPR controls and β1L-reduced clones were grown to 80% confluency in 15 cm plates and fixed with 4% formaldehyde. Chromatin was sonicated to a size range of 200–1200 bp by the Diagenode Biorupter. 12–18 μg of chromatin was used per GABPα (Santa Cruz Biotechnology: sc-22810) and IgG control (Cell Signaling: 2729) immunoprecipitation for each cell type. Enrichment at the TERT promoter was determined by qPCR with the ssoAdvanced Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Biorad) supplemented with Resolution Solution from GC-RICH PCR System (Roche). The following primer set was used for qPCR: TERT+47 (forward: 5’-GCCGGGGCCAGGGCTTCCCA-3’; reverse: 5’ CCGCGCTTCCCACGTGGCGG-3’; Tm=74° Celsius). PCR was carried out on the Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time System. Three replicate PCR reactions were carried out for each sample.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Adipose Tissue

Freshly isolated iWAT was fixed in 10% PBS-buffered formalin, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin for sectioning. Five-micron sections were de-paraffinized, and the antigen was retrieved using 10 mM sodium citrate buffer containing 0.05% Tween20, pH 6.0. After blocking the endogenous peroxidases and non-binding sites with superblock (ScyTek Laboratories Inc., Logan, UT), the sections were incubated with primary antibodies (UCP1, 1:250; TOM20, 1:250, Cell Signaling Technology, and GABPα, 1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) overnight at 4°C. After several washes, the slides were incubated with Dky Rabbit IgG Biotin secondary antibody (1:500, EMD Millipore, Burlington, MA) and developed using the DAB peroxidase substrate kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). The color development time was optimized by monitoring the signal under a microscope. The nuclei were stained with hematoxylin, the slides were mounted using a Permount mounting medium (Fischer Scientific), and the images were captured using an EVOS microscope.

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Extracts

For all Western blot analyses, 1 × 107 cells were collected, washed with PBS supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (11836153001, Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 mM PMSF (Sigma-Aldrich), and then lysed with Laemmli lysis buffer as previously described (46 (link)). Equal amounts of the protein extracts (~10 μg) were electrophoresed on NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris gradient gels (Novex, Carlsbad, CA) and then electro-blotted onto Immobilon PVDF membranes (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). Membranes were probed with the following Abs and dilutions: GABPα (1:1000; SC-22810), PU.1 (1:1000; SC-352), C/EBPε (1:1000; SC-158), and β-actin (1:1000) (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), LBR from guinea pig serum [kindly provided by Prof. Harald Herrmann, German Cancer Research Institute, Heidelberg, Germany and previously described (20 (link))], or tubulin (1:1500; Sigma-Aldrich). HRP-conjugated secondary Ab (1:2000, Sigma-Aldrich) was used against primary Abs, and chemiluminescence was detected using Immobilon Western HRP substrate solution (EMD Millipore). Images were captured from exposed and processed film or with the ChemiDocMP Imager using Image Lab Software (BioRad Laboratories).

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.
