COS1 cells were plated at 30% confluence on cover slips in 24 well plates. Cells were transfected with pSVAR and pGFP-MAD7-35AR1-54 using FuGENE 6 (Promega, WI, USA) and incubated for 24hrs before treatment with ligand for 2hrs. Wells were washed 3x with PBS and incubated in 1% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, washed 3x in PBS and incubated for a further 10 min in 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS. Wells were again washed 3x with PBS, incubated in blocking solution (5% BSA in PBS) for 30 min and a further 1 hr with an AR antibody (AR C19, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, TX, USA) diluted 1:200 in blocking solution. Wells were washed 3x with PBS, re-blocked and incubated for 1hr with 594-Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibody (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK). A final 3x PBS washes was performed before the coverslips were mounted onto glass slides (Vectorshield containing DAPI, DAKO, Cambridge, UK). Images were obtained using a Zeiss Confocal Microscope, as previously described [46 (link)].

LNCaP-s17 cells were treated as indicated. DNA-AR protein complexes were cross-linked inside the cells by the addition of 1% formaldehyde. Whole-cell extracts were prepared by sonication, and an aliquot of the cross-linked DNA-protein complexes was immunoprecipitated by incubation with the AR-specific antibody (AR-C19; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) overnight at 4°C with rotation. Chromatin-antibody complexes were isolated from solution by incubation with protein A/G agarose beads for 1 hour at 4°C with rotation. The bound DNA-protein complexes were washed and eluted from beads with elution buffer (1% SDS and 0.1 mol/L NaHCO3), cross links were reversed, and DNA was extracted. The resulting chromatin preparations were analyzed by PCR using primers spanning either the proximal or the distal enhancer AREs of the PSA promoter. Primers used for ChIP assay were: ARE: 5’-CCTAGATGAAGTCTCCATGAGCTACA, ARE 3’-GGGAGGGAGAGCTAGCACTTG. Isotype-matched IgG was used as control (11 (link)).

ChIP-qPCR Analysis of AR and AR-V7 Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA-AR protein complexes were cross-linked inside the cells by the addition of 1% formaldehyde. Whole-cell extracts were prepared by sonication, and an aliquot of the cross-linked DNA-protein complexes was immunoprecipitated by incubation with antibodies against AR (AR-C19; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or AR-V7 (AG10008, precision antibody) overnight at 4°C with rotation. Chromatin-antibody complexes were isolated from solution by incubation with protein A/G agarose beads for 1 hour at 4°C with rotation. The bound DNA-protein complexes were washed and eluted from beads with elution buffer (1% SDS and 0.1 mol/L NaHCO3), crosslinking was reversed, and DNA was extracted. The resulting chromatin preparations were analyzed by PCR using primers spanning either the proximal or the distal enhancer AREs of the PSA promoter (24 (link), 26 (link)). Isotype-matched IgG was used as control.

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.
