Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed as previously described (35 (link), 74 (link)). All ChIP-seq assays were performed using single donors in triplicate. For quantitative ChIP-seq experiments, 4 × 106 SF9 cells were spiked into the pool. The cells were treated with formaldehyde to cross-link, and chromatin was fragmented to 200 to 300 bp, using a Biorupter Pico sonicator (Diagenode). Each lysate was immunoprecipitated with 10 μg of anti-H3K4me3 (Merck Millipore) and anti-H3K27me3 (Merck Millipore) antibodies. The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiment was then performed for each antibody as described previously by Orlando et al. (74 (link)). Library preparation was performed using a NEBNext Ultra DNA sample preparation kit (NEB), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The samples were multiplexed, quantified using a High-sensitivity d1000 TapeStation (Agilent) or a Kapa library quantification kit (KAPA Biosystems), and then sequenced using a NextSeq 500 (Illumina) (paired-end, 2 × 41 bp). Sequencing depth was >20 million reads per sample.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed as previously described (20 (link)). All ChIPs were performed using single donors in triplicate. NK cells were cross-linked with formaldehyde, and chromatin was fragmented to 200 to 300 bp, using a Biorupter Pico sonicator (Diagenode). Immunoprecipitation was performed using 10 μg of anti-BRD2 (A302-583A, Bethyl Laboratories) or anti-BRD4 (A301-985A100, Bethyl Laboratories) antibodies. The ChIP experiment was then performed for each antibody as described previously by Orlando et al. (24 (link)). Next, library preparation was performed using a NEBNext Ultra DNA sample preparation kit (NEB), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The samples were then sequenced using a NextSeq 500 (Illumina) (single-end, 82 bp). Sequencing depth was >20 million reads per sample.

ChIP-Seq of ATF4, H3K4me3, and EWS-FLI1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to assess enrichment for ATF4, H3K4me3, and EWS-FLI1 was performed using the Zymo-Spin ChIP kit (Zymo Research) with Protein G-Dynabeads (Life Technologies) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, 5 million cells were harvested for ChIP (1 million cells per 1 mL ChIP reaction). Cells were formaldehyde fixed and chromatin was fragmented using the Biorupter Pico Sonicator (Diagenode) (30s on/30s off for 30 cycles). Chromatin was incubated with the following antibodies: 0.34 µg/IP anti-ATF4 (ATF-4 (D4B8) Rabbit mAb, Cell Signaling 11815), 0.5 µg/IP anti-H3K4me3 ChIP-seq grade (Diagenode C15410003–50), 5 µg/IP anti-FLI1 ChIP Grade (abcam ab15289), 5 µg/IP Rabbit IgG polyclonal isotype control (Abcam ab37415), overnight on a rotator at 4°C. Antibody-chromatin complexes were incubated with Protein G-Dynabeads for 2 hours. Washes, elution, reverse crosslinking, and proteinase K digestion were carried out per manufacturer’s protocol. DNA was eluted in 20 µL, and ChIP-qPCR was performed as described above. Primer sequences for the ATF4 and SSP gene promoters, and negative control regions are detailed in Supplementary Table S1.

Whole Proteome Peptide Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells transfected with indicated plasmids in biological triplicates were lysed with 8 M urea with 10 mM DTT and 0.1 M Tris (pH 8.5). Soluble cell lysates were collected after 10 cycles of sonication for 30 s followed by 30 s at 4 °C using a Biorupter Pico Sonicator (Diagenode, Liége, Belgium), followed by maximum speed centrifugation at room temperature for 15 min. Whole proteome peptides were prepared using the FASP protocol as described before [54] (link). In brief, 50 μg of soluble lysates were added onto 30 kDa cutoff filter (MRCF0R030, Sigma) and centrifuged at 11,000 r/min at 20 °C for 15 min. 50 mM IAA in urea buffer was used to alkylate proteins at 20 °C for 15 min. After 3 washes with urea lysis buffer and 3 washes with 50 mM ammonium biocarbonate (ABC; Catalog No. 09830, Sigma) buffer, 500 ng of trypsin in 50 μl of 50 mM ABC buffer was used to digest proteins in a wet chamber overnight at 37 °C. Peptides were extracted by 50 mM ABC buffer and acidified to pH < 2 by adding 10 μl of 10% TFA.

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.
