Western blotting was performed according to standard protocols (BioRad). Whole cell lysates were obtained from snap-frozen cell pellets using the cOmplete™ Lysis-M EDTA-free lysis buffer (Roche). Protein concentration was determined by Pierce BCA assay (ThermoFisher Scientific) and used to maximise equal loading across the gels (~9 μg per lane). Electrophoresis was run on 4–12% Criterion™ XT Bis-Tris Protein Gel (BioRad) at constant voltage (200 V, one hour) and followed by protein transfer to a nitrocellulose membrane (BioRad). Blocking was performed in PBS, 0.1% Tween, 5% dry milk powder (Marvel) at RT for one hour followed by primary antibody incubation overnight at 4 °C. Primary antibodies were diluted in PBS, 0.1% Tween, 5% dry milk powder as follows: mouse anti SFPQ (Abcam, ab11825) 1:250; rabbit anti TLS/FUS (Abcam, ab84078) 1:500; rabbit anti DDX39 (Sigma Aldrich, SAB2700315) 1:500, rabbit anti DARS (Abcam, ab182157) 1:1000; mouse anti GLN1 (Antibodies-online, AA 1-373) 1:1000; rabbit anti TDP-43 (Abcam, Ab133547) 1:10,000; mouse anti GAPDH (Life Technologies, clone 6C5, AM43000) 1:5000. For detection membranes were incubated with species-specific near infra-red fluorescent antibodies (IRDye, Licor) for one hour at RT and imaged using an Odyssey Fc Imaging System (Licor).

Diluted protein lysate was mixed with fluorescent master mix and heated at 95 °C for 5 min. Three μL of protein mix (1 mg/mL maximal concentration) containing Protein Normalization Reagent, blocking reagent, wash buffer, target primary antibody (rabbit anti-eIF2α [Cell Signaling Technology 9721]) diluted 1:50, mouse anti-phospho-eIF2α [Cell Signaling Technology 2103] diluted 1:50, mouse anti-p21 antibody [Santacruz, sc-6246] diluted 1:50, rabbit anti-P54nrb diluted 1:200 [Santacruz, sc-67016], rabbit anti-PSPC1 diluted 1:100 [bethyl laboratory, A303-205A], mouse anti-SFPQ diluted 1:100 [Abcam, Ab11825]; rabbit anti-FGF1 diluted 1:25 [Abcam Ab207321], rabbit anti-Nucleolin diluted 1:50 [Novus biological, NB600-241], secondary-HRP (ready to use rabbit or mouse ‘detection module’, DM-001 or αDM-002), and chemiluminescent substrate were dispensed into designated wells in a manufacturer-provided microplate. The plate was loaded into the instrument (Jess, Protein Simple) and proteins were drawn into individual capillaries on a 25 capillary cassette (12–230 kDa) (SM-SW004). Normalization reagent allow detecting total protein in the capillary through the binding of amine group by a biomolecule and to get rid of housekeeping protein that can arbor an inconsistent and unreliable expression. Graph plotted in Figures represent chemiluminescence value before normalization.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultured were seeded in 10-cm dishes to form an 80% confluent monolayer. For each sample, 1×107 cells were harvested. ChIP for PSF was conducted using a murine monoclonal antibody against PSF (cat. no. ab11825, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or a non-specific rabbit IgG (control, cat. no. ab171870, Abcam) conjugated to secondary Dynal magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Cells were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature and sonicated at 30% for 10 sec and left on ice for 1 min. The sonication step was repeated 10 times. Next, 10 µg of either antibody or control was added into 100 µl lysate for a 4-h incubation at 4°C with 10 µl protein-A beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The beads were washed three times with washing buffer (150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 1% NP-40) and eluted in 300 µl 3 M NaCl elution buffer for 3 h at 65°C. The ChIP products were analyzed by RT-qPCR following the aforementioned protocol. Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) 5′ untranslated region (UTR) was used as a negative control sequence. The primers for detecting the PSF-reacting region on the GAGE6 promoter were as follows: 5′-GCCTTCTGCAAAGAAGTCTTGCGC-3′ (forward) and 5′-ATGCGAATTCGAGGCTGAGGCAGACAAT-3′ (reverse); DHFR 5′UTR, 5′-CTGATGTCCAGGAGGAGAAAGG-3′ (forward) and 5′-AGCCCGACAATGTCAAGGACTG-3′ (reverse).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells were grown on a glass slide and fixed in 4% formaldehyde in PBS. Cells were washed once with PBS, permeabilized with Triton X-100, dehydrated through a series of ethanol washes and hybridized overnight with a digoxigenin-labeled NEAT1 probe (Table S1). RNA FISH signal was detected by incubating with Alexa Flour 647-labeled anti-digoxygenin antibody (Roche) and examined on a Leica TCS SP8 STED microscope.
Immunofluorescence was carried out as described previously (Deng et al., 2019 (link)). Briefly, cells growing on glass slides were rinsed with PBS and fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min, and then permeabilized in 0.2% Triton X-100 followed by 30 min 5% BSA blocking. The cells were then stained with human anti-PSPC1 (Abcam, ab104238) or anti-SFPQ antibodies (Abcam, ab11825) in blocking buffer for overnight at 4 °C and washed three times with PBS. Then stained with Alexa Flour 647-labeled secondary antibodies (Jackson Laboratory) in blocking buffer for 1 h. After three washes with PBS, coverslips were mounted with VECTASHIELD mounting medium containing 0.5 μg/mL DAPI and then visualized at 100× on a CCD camera mounted on a Leica TCS SP8 STED microscope using imaging software. The magenta signal was defined as green by ImageJ (National Institutes of Health) before further colocalization analysis.

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.
