Anti-BRG1 is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of the BRG1 protein. BRG1 is a critical subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, which plays a role in regulating gene expression. This antibody can be used in various applications, such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry, to study the expression and localization of BRG1 in biological samples.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed essentially as described before. In brief, chromatin in control and treated cells were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde. Cells were incubated in lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, 25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% deoxycholate) supplemented with protease inhibitor tablet and PMSF. DNA was fragmented into ∼200 bp pieces using a Branson 250 sonicator (Brookfield, CT, United States). Aliquots of lysates containing 200 μg of protein were used for each immunoprecipitation reaction with anti-MRTF-A (Santa Cruz, sc-10768), anti-SRF (Cell Signaling Tech, 5147, Danvers, MA, United States), anti-BRG1 (Abcam, ab110641, Cambridge, United Kingdom), anti-acetyl histone H3 (Millipore, 06-599, Burlington, MA, United States), and anti-trimethyl H3K4 (Millipore, 07-442, Burlington, MA, United States). Precipitated genomic DNA was amplified by real-time PCR with the following primers: ET1 proximal promoter, 5′-GGCGTCTGCCTCTGAAGT-3′ and 5′-GGGTAAACAGCTCCGACTT-3′. A total of 10% of the starting material is also included as the input. Data are then normalized to the input and expressed as% recovery relative the input as previously described (Chen et al.,2020b,c (link)). All experiments were performed in triplicate wells and repeated three times.

We used haematoxylin‐eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemical staining to assess the pathological changes and the expression of Brg1, BrdU and Ki‐67, respectively, in paraffin‐embedded sections of mouse livers. For Brg1, BrdU and Ki‐67 immunohistochemistry staining, the slices were incubated with anti‐Brg1 (1:200; Abcam), anti‐BrdU (1:400; Abcam) and anti‐Ki‐67 (1:500; Abcam) overnight at 4°C, followed by biotinylated secondary antibody at 37°C for 1 hour. Colour development was carried out with DAB (3,3‐diaminobenzidine) and running water for 5 minutes. The slides were counterstained with 1% Mayer's haematoxylin. Brg1, BrdU and Ki‐67 immunostaining were scored and examined by two independent assessors. KO group and WT group were used for immunohistochemical detection (n = 5).

The protein expression levels of BRG1, Nu-Nrf2, HO-1, Keap-1 and caspase-3 were measured by Western blotting. Generally, total proteins were extracted from NCM460 cells and mouse IECs using RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors (Roche, Basel, Switzerland), and nuclear proteins were extracted from cells with a nuclear protein extraction kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Then, the protein concentrations were detected with a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). 10% SDS-PAGE was used to separate equal amount of proteins (40 μg) and transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA) by electroblotting.

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.
