MEFs were plated on 8-well Nunc Lab-Tek II chamber slides (Sigma-Aldrich) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at 4 °C. After several washes with PBS, samples were blocked with 5% goat (or donkey) serum in 0.5% PBST for 30 min at RT. Cells were incubated with the indicated primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. Bound primary antibodies were detected by incubating with secondary antibodies for 90 min at RT. The following primary antibodies were used for the cell staining: anti-YAP (rabbit monoclonal, 14074, Cell signaling); anti-TAZ (rabbit polyclonal, HPA007415, Sigma-Aldrich); and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-phalloidin (A12379, Thermo Fisher) antibodies. Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibodies were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (Invitrogen) and slides were mounted and imaged as described above.

Cells were rinsed twice with ice-cold HBSS and incubated with ice-cold hypotonic buffer (2 x 1min, 20mM HEPES, 20% Glycerol, 10mM NaCl, 1.5mM MgCl2, 0.2mM EDTA, 0.1% NP40, freshly supplemented with 1 mM DTT, and protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails). Nuclei were then harvested by scraping in hypertonic buffer (hypotonic buffer + 500mM NaCl, 400 µl/60 cm2) and disrupted by sonication in a water-bath sonicator. Nuclear lysates were cleared by centrifugation and quantified by Bradford. For immunoprecipitation, extracts were diluted to 140mM NaCl and incubated 4h at 4°C with magnetic beads (Dynabeads Protein A or G, Invitrogen) preloaded with specific primary antibodies. Immunocomplexes were then washed in binding buffer four times; finally, beads were resuspended in SDS sample buffer.
Antibodies used for immunoprecipitation: anti-BRD4 (E2A7X, CST); anti-YAP1 (13584-1-AP, Proteintech); anti-WWTR1 (HPA007415, Sigma); anti-FLAG (clone M2, A8592, Sigma); normal rabbit IgG (I5006, Sigma).

In Situ Proximity Ligation Assay for BRD4 Interactome

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells were seeded on fibronectin-coated glass chamber slides and transfected with pFlag-CMV2-BRD4, pCS2-HA-BRD4 or empty pCS2+ as negative control. After 24 hours, cells were fixed in 4% PFA for 10 min at RT. In situ PLA was performed with DuoLink In Situ Reagents (Sigma) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Primary antibodies used in the PLA are: mouse anti-HA (F-7, sc-7392, SantaCruz), mouse anti-TEF1 (610923; BD Biosciences), rabbit anti-FLAG (F-7425; Sigma), rabbit anti-YAP1 (EP1674Y, abcam), rabbit anti-WWTR1 (HPA007415, Sigma). Images were acquired with a Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope equipped with a CCD camera; for each field, a Z-stack was acquired; images were processed using Volocity software (PerkinElmer). We verified that the fraction of nuclei with positive PLA signal corresponded to the fraction of transfected cells (determined by immunofluorescence for FLAG or HA).

Archival frozen GBM specimens were collected at the Azienda Ospedaliera,
Padua, Italy. For IHC, 4 μm thick sections were obtained from tumor
samples. IHC was performed with rabbit polyclonal anti-TAZ (Sigma,

fully automated system (Bond-maX; Leica).
Slide images were captured using the D-Sight-F system for digital

Immunohistochemical Profiling of Glioblastoma Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four μm-thick sections of paraffin-embedded samples of glioblastoma tissue from patients treated at the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria La Paz (IdiPaz, Madrid, Spain) were arrayed in a collection of three tissue microarray slides. Taken together, these slides encompassed 26 good tumor cores. Sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated in water, and antigen retrieval was carried out by incubation in 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% Tween 20, pH 8.0 at 50 °C for 45 min. Endogenous peroxidase and nonspecific antibody reactivity was blocked with peroxidase blocking reagent (Dako) at room temperature for 15 min. The sections were then incubated for 60–90 min at 4 °C with the corresponding peroxidase conjugated primary antibodies for NRF2 (PA1-38312, Thermo Fisher Scientific), TAZ (HPA007415, Sigma-Aldrich), NQO1 (ab34173, Abcam), ATRX (DIA-AX1, Dianova), IDH1 (DIA-H09, Dianova), ki67 (M7240, Dako) and developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Negative controls with goat serum replacing the primary antibody were used. The slides were mounted with DPX (VWR International). Detection was performed with the Envision Plus Detection System (Dako). All tumors were negative for IDH1 and ATRX mutations, therefore confirming that according to histological classification they were GBs. Densitometric quantification was done using macros of the ImageJ software.

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.
