Genome-wide ChIP profiling of mouse liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays from mouse livers were performed by Active Motif. Briefly, genomic DNA regions of interest were isolated using antibodies against H3K9Ac (Active Motif), RNA Pol II (Active Motif), ChREBP (Novus), and PPARα (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). qPCR reactions were carried out in triplicate using SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad) on a CFX Connect Real Time PCR system. Positive and negative control sites were tested for each factor as well as the sites of interest. The resulting signals were normalized for primer efficiency by carrying out qPCR for each primer pair using input DNA (pooled unprecipitated genomic DNA from each sample). Specific enrichment was expressed as percentage of input. Further details are provided in Supplemental Experimental Procedures.
In vitro ChIP assays from cultured hepatocytes were performed as described previously (Marmier et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, genomic DNA regions of interest were isolated using antibodies against ChREBP (Novus) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) (Cell Signaling). DNA fragments were quantified by qPCR using primers described in Table S1. Results are expressed as fold enrichment. Further details are provided in Supplemental Experimental Procedures.

Small intestine specimens were fixed in neutral-buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin blocks according to standard procedures. The paraffin-embedded tissue sections were incubated in the oven at 60°C for 1 h. After rehydration in graded ethanol, antigen retrieval was performed in 1× Tris-EDTA, pH 9.5 (Thermo Scientific, Boston, MA) by heating in a microwave for 10 min. Sections were incubated with 3% H2O2 (Dako, Denmark) at room temperature for 30 min, blocked for 5 min, and then incubated with the primary antibody overnight. The next day, sections were incubated with the secondary antibody for 30 min, washed with DPBS containing Tween 20, and stained with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine. Primary antibodies against the following proteins were used: ChREBP (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO), GLUT5 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz CA), GLUT2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz CA), and NHE3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz CA).

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.
