Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RIP assay was used to determine whether AGAP2-AS1 interacts with or binds to RNA-binding proteins (EZH2, SUZ12, and LSD1) in the human GC cells. The EZ-Magna RIP kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was used to conduct the RIP experiment, following manufacturer’s protocol. The BGC-823 and AGS cells were lysed using complete RIP lysis buffer; then, the extract was incubated with magnetic beads conjugated with EZH2, SUZ12, and LSD1antibodies or control IgG (Millipore) for 6–8 h at 4 °C. Next, the beads were washed with washing buffer and incubated with proteinase K at 55 °C for 30 min to remove the proteins. Finally, purified RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA and subjected to qRT-PCR analysis to determine the presence of AGAP2-AS1 using specific primers. EZH2 (Cat.No.17-662), SUZ12 (Cat.No.03-179), LSD1 (Cat.No.17-10531), CoREST (Cat.No.07-455), and HuR (Cat.No.03-102) antibodies were purchased from EMD Millipore.

One hundred micrograms of lyophilized histone peptides (H3K4ac, Epicypher; unmodified H3, H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3; Millipore) were dissolved in 400 µL of PBS. 1 × 108 MEFs were hypotonically lysed with Buffer A (10 mM HEPES at pH 7.9, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, freshly added protease inhibitors and DTT to 1 mM) before nuclear extract was isolated with Buffer C (20 mM HEPES at pH 7.9, 25% v/v glycerol, 420 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM EDTA, freshly added protease inhibitors and DTT to 1 mM) and the salt concentration lowered to 150 mM using Buffer D (20 mM HEPES at pH 7.9, 20% v/v glycerol, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.2% Triton X-100). Following mechanical lysis by sonication, 50 µL of prewashed avidin-histone peptide slurry was added to precleared lysate and incubated overnight at 4°C. After washing of the avidin beads, SDS sample buffer was added and samples were boiled for 5 min and subsequently run on a 10% SDS gel. The following antibodies were used for the histone peptide pull-down assay: mSin3A (Abcam, ab3479), CoREST (Millipore, 07–455), HDAC2 (Abcam, ab7029), HDAC1 (Abcam, ab7028), RBBP4 (Abcam, ab79416), MTA1 (Santa Cruz, sc-9446).

ChIP assays where performed as previously described60 (link). Briefly, HEK293 cells fully confluent on T175 flasks were conditioned to hypoxic media (1% oxygen) for the indicated time points. Cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde in 10 mL fresh media for 10 min with agitation. Cells were removed from the hypoxic chamber and fixation was stopped with 125 mM glycine treatment for 5 min. The following mix was prepared: 1 uL of the purified DNA was used, 0.4 μL of 20 μM primers, 8 uL RNAse free water and 10 μL of Power SYBR® Green (Applied Biosystems). The quantitative Real-Time PCR was performed using the 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System. Precipitated chromatin was normalized to input samples and the control IgG IP’s are shown as a negative control, as previously described60 (link).
The following ChIP qRT-PCR primers were used:
HIF-RE1, F: AGAGGCTCGGAGCCGG, R: CGCTTCTCTCTAGTCTCACGAG

Dissected brains were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C. For protein extraction, frozen brains were manually homogenized in Hunt buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.0], 100 mM sodium chloride, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) in a glass homogenizer. After full-speed centrifugation, the supernatant containing the soluble protein fraction was further used. Equal amounts of 20 to 30 μg of proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE (10% gels) and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Protran; Whatman) according to standard protocols. For detection, the Enhanced Chemiluminescence kit (PerkinElmer) was used. HDAC activity assays were performed with brain protein extracts as previously described (9 (link)).

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.
