CIRCLE-seq libraries49 (link) were generated as previously described.75 (link) Approximately 50–100 μg of HEK293T gDNA was used to generate circles for each reaction. Using a Diagenode Bioruptor XL sonicator at 4°C, gDNA was sonicated to an average size of approximately 50 bp, with a visible range of 200–1,000 bp, as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. The enzymatic procedure to generate circles was carried out as previously described.49 (link) For the in vitro digest of the circles, gRNAs were synthesized from IDT and SaCas9 was purchased from Applied Biological Materials. Library production was carried out as previously described for CHANGE-seq.50 (link) Libraries were quantified by the qPCR-based KAPA Library Quantification Kit (KAPA Biosystems), pooled, and sequenced with 150-bp paired-end reads on an Illumina NextSeq instrument. Read counts were obtained using previously described methods and software for CHANGE-seq.50 (link) The following parameters were used for running the analysis pipeline: read threshold of 4; window size of 3; mapq threshold of 50; start threshold of 1; gap threshold of 3; mismatch threshold of 6; and PAM of NNGRRN.43 (link)

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Shotgun metagenome data were prepared with genomic DNA using various methods. Libraries were built on six samples using a NEBNext protocol, during which metagenomic DNA was fragmented to an average length of ≈350 bp using the Bioruptor XL (Diagenode, Inc.), with the profile of eight cycles of 15 s of sonication and 90 s of rest. Sheared DNA was converted to BGIseq sequencing technology compatible libraries using NEBNext library kit E6070L (New England Biolabs) and blunt‐ended BGISEQ‐500‐compatible adapters AD1 and AD2.[100] For all other samples (n = 45) metagenomic data were prepared using the BEST single‐tube library preparation protocol[101] as optimized to be BGISEQ‐500 compatible.[100] Briefly, genomic DNA was fragmented to 350 bp using an M220 Focused Ultrasonicator (Covaris, Woburn, MA). Sheared DNA was converted into BGISEQ‐500 libraries following four steps: blunt end‐repair, adapter ligation (2 μL of 10 × 10‐6m BGI 2.0 adapters), fill‐in reaction, and SPRI magnetic bead purification (Sigma‐Aldrich). Indexing PCR cycle numbers for all metagenomic libraries (4–14 cycles) were determined through qPCR library quantification. Libraries were pooled equimolar over six lanes in 100bp or 150 bp paired‐end mode on the BGISeq‐500 platform aiming for a minimum of 50 million reads per sample.

For re-ChIP experiments43 (link), ~5e7 cells were used for the first ChIP and chromatin in RIPA buffer was sheared to a median fragment size of 250 bp using a Bioruptor XL (Diagenode). The first ChIP was performed by incubation of sheared chromatin with corresponding antibody-linked magnetic beads at 4 °C overnight. Samples were washed three times with Re-ChIP wash buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, 0.1% SDS, 1% NP-40, 2 mM EDTA) and then chromatin-antibody complexes were eluted in Re-ChIP elution buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2% SDS, 15 mM DTT) at 37 °C for 30 min and subsequently diluted 1/20 in ChIP dilution buffer (16.7 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 167 mM NaCl, 1.2 mM EDTA, 1.1% Triton X-100, 0.01% SDS). The second antibody-linked-magnetic beads were added and incubated overnight on a rotary shaker at 4 °C. The second-round chromatin-antibody complexes were captured, washed, and eluted similarly and then DNA was purified for qPCR as above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP assays were performed as described [11 (link)] in triplicate. Briefly, after treatment, the cellular material was cross-linked with methanol free 1% formaldehyde (Sigma). Then, cell lysates were sonicated using conditions that yield 200-500 bp DNA fragments using a Bioruptor XL (Diagenode, Denville, NJ). DNA-protein complexes were immunoprecipitated with 1 μg of DO-1 p53-specific monoclonal antibody per condition. Mouse Ig (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was used as a negative control. qPCR was performed on immunoprecipitated chromatin to determine p53 enrichment occupancy on TLR3 and p21 promoter regions. Amplification of GADPH promoter region was used as a negative control. ChIP primers for TLR3, p21 and GADPH were previously described [23 (link)–24 (link)]. qPCR and melting curve analysis was performed using the SYBR® Green (Invitrogen) dye detection method on the ABI PRISM 7900 HT Sequence Detection System under default conditions. Enrichment in the ChIP samples was calculated as a fraction of the Input (%).

Human breast cancer CAL51 wild-type (WT) and MUS81 knockout (KO) cell lines were cultured in DMEM + 10% FBS, supplemented with L-Glutamine and Penicillin–Streptomycin until confluency. Cells were washed twice with cold PBS, scraped from the flask surface and resuspended in PBS. After spinning the cells down at 4ºC, 1500 RPM for 3 min, PBS was removed and the cells were resuspended in buffer A (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, protease inhibitors). After the addition of Nonidet® P40 (substitute) to 0.4%, the cells were incubated for 20 min in ice. Following centrifugation at 4ºC and 1500 RPM for 8 min, the supernatant corresponding to the cytosolic fraction was removed. The pellet was resuspended in buffer B (20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 3 mM MgCl2, 410 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1% Triton-X, protease inhibitors). Sonication was then performed in Bioruptor XL (Diagenode) set to 15 × [15 s + 35 s rest]. After centrifugation at maximal speed, the supernatant, now the nuclear extract, was recovered, aliquoted and stored at −80 °C. Protein concentration was measured by Bradford assay.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed as described previously50 (link). Briefly, monocytes (5 × 106) were treated with either uRBC or iRBC for 4 h before crosslinking protein-DNA complexes with 1% formaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. ChIP was performed using a SimpleChIP Plus Sonication Chromatin IP Kit (Cell Signaling Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. DNA was sheared with Bioruptor XL (Diagenode) with a HI pulse setting and 30 s on and 30 s off pulses. The cycle was repeated 30 times, resulting in a sonication time of 30 min in total to achieve chromatin fragments of 200 to 1,200 base pairs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with 1 μg of anti-H3K4me3 or anti-histone H3 antibodies (Millipore), followed by reversal of cross-linking. Immunoprecipitated DNA was purified with the MinElute PCR purification kit (QIAGEN). The quantitative PCR reaction was then performed on the immunoprecipitated DNA fragments with a SensiFAST SYBR Hi-ROX Kit (Bioline) and the following primer pairs: IL-6, forward 5′-AGCTCTATCTCCCCTCCAGG-3′ and reverse 5′-ACACCCCTCCCTCACACAG-3′; TNF, forward 5′- CAGGCAGGTTCTCTTCCTCT-3′ and reverse 5′- GCTTTCAGTGCTCATGGTGT-3′16 (link). Enrichment of H3Kme3 in the promoter regions of the IL-6 and TNF genes was expressed as a percentage of the input DNA.

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.
