Minigene constructs were designed in silico, synthesized by GenScript and sub-cloned into a vector with the GFP splicing control. HEK 293T TDP-43 knockout cells and the parent HEK 293T cells were seeded into standard P12 tissue culture plates (at 1.6 × 105 cells per well), allowed to adhere overnight, and transfected with the indicated splicing reporter constructs (400 ng per well) using Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen). Each reporter comprised one of the splicing modules (shown in Fig. 4d), which is expressed from a bidirectional promoter. Twenty-four hours after transfection, RNA was extracted from these cells using PureLink RNA Mini Kit (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, with on-column PureLink DNase (Invitrogen) treatment. The RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturers’ instructions. PCRs were performed using OneTaq 2X Master Mix with Standard Buffer (NEB) with the following cycling parameters: denaturation: 94 °C for 30 s; 30 cycles: 94 °C for 20 s, 54 °C for 30 s, 68 °C for 30 s; final extension: 68 °C for 5 min on a Mastercycler Pro (Eppendorf) thermocycler PCR machine. PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on a 1.5% TAE gel and imaged ChemiDox XRS+ System (Bio-Rad). See Supplementary Table 6 for primers.

In this part, we applied the methods described in previous articles [19 (link)]. In brief, the total tissue proteins were collected for the determination of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-1, and claudin-2. By the way, equal amounts of total protein extracted from the ileal mucosa were respectively fractionated on 8%, 10%, and 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel and then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PDVF) membrane (Millipore, Bedford, MA). Furthermore, after the membrane was blocked, the membranes were incubated with antibodies specific for ZO-1 (1:1000, Invitrogen), occludin (1:1000, Invitrogen), claudin-1 (1:1000, Invitrogen), claudin-2 (1:1000, Abcam), and β-actin (1:5000, Sigma) overnight at 4 °C. After washing with Tris-buffered saline Tween-20 (TBST), membranes were incubated with appropriate peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (KPL, America) at room temperature for 60 min. The chemiluminescence signal was captured using a ChemiDox XRS system (Bio-Rad). The densities of the bands were quantified with Quantity One Image software (Bio-Rad).

A restriction enzyme accessibility assay was used to measure the remodeling activities 21 (link). Each reaction took place in the presence of 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mg/mL BSA, 1 mM ATP, and 5 U HhaI. Wild-type or mutant CHD4 was added to 12 nM nucleosomes at final concentrations of 12 nM, 6 nM, and 3 nM to initiate the reaction. Mixtures were incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes and quenched by the addition of 2 μL of proteinase K buffer (167 mM EDTA, 1.7% SDS, and 6.7 mg/mL proteinase K), then incubated at 50°C for 15 minutes for deproteination to take place. Samples were analyzed by 6% native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. DNA fragments were visualized on a ChemiDox XRS system (BIO-RAD) and were quantitated using Image Lab software. Three individual experiments from two biological replicates (n = 6) were conducted for each mutant.

Inflammatory cytokines and TJ protein expression were detected by western blotting. The distal ileum mucosa was collected and protein was extracted by RIPA lysis buffer with a cocktail of protease inhibitors. After the supernatant was obtained by centrifugation, protein was quantified using a standard BCA protein assay. Equal amounts of protein (25 μg) were fractionated on 8 and 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels and then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. After the nonspecific sites were blocked with 5% skimmed milk, the membranes were incubated with Abs specific for TNF-α, IL-17A, TGF-β, ZO-1, occludin or β-actin at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with the corresponding horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary Abs at room temperature for 1 h. The chemiluminescence signal was obtained using a ChemiDox XRS system (Bio-Rad, USA). The densities of the bands were quantified with Quantity One Image software (Bio-Rad, USA).

We extracted the proteins from total cell lysates using RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA), and nuclear proteins with EpiQuik Nuclear Extraction Kit (Epigentek, Farmingdale, NY, USA). The protein concentrations were determined with a BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific). We used Bolt LDS sample buffer (Thermo Scientific) or sodium dodecyl sulfate sample buffer (2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 62.5 mM Tris-base (pH 6.8), 10% glycerol, 5% β-mercaptoethanol and 0.005% bromophenol blue) to denature the proteins before sample loading for gel electrophoresis and membrane transferring as described previously.55 (link), 56 The signals were detected with ECL Western Blotting substrate (Thermo Scientific) with a ChemiDox XRS system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA).
As described previously,55 (link), 56 for immunofluorescence, we seeded 2 × 104 cells per well into 24-well plates. After 48-h culture, the cells were washed and processed to overnight primary antibody incubation at 4 °C. The fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibody was incubated the next day in dark for 1 h at room temperature. DAPI staining was conducted to visualize the nuclei.

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Expression

Total protein from RAEC was isolated using Laemmli sample buffer (Bio-Rad; Kukoyi et al., 2019 (link)). Because we cannot measure the amount of protein after adding Laemmli buffer, equal volumes of samples were separated on a 4%–20% gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel and transferred to PVDF membranes. After blocking with 5% non-fat dry milk/Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20 (blocking buffer, pH 7.4) for 1 h, the membranes were incubated with antibodies for ZO-1 (Invitrogen, 1:1000), alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA; Abcam, 1:5000), collagen type 1A1 (col1A1; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:200), GAPDH (Sigma-Aldrich, 1:50,000) at 4°C overnight. We chose GAPDH as the housekeeping gene in our experiments because it has the least variation within our experimental conditions compared β-actin and because β-actin has similar molecular weight to α-SMA. The membranes were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with an appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody prior to adding the Clarity Western ECL substrate (Bio-Rad). The immunoreactive bands were captured with a ChemiDox XRS system (Bio-Rad). The relative densitometry of the protein of interest was normalized to the densitometry of the GAPDH band from the same membrane.

Remodeling activities were measured with a restriction enzyme accessibility assay as previously described27 (link). 12.5 nM nucleosomes (347 bp) were incubated with the indicated amounts of CHD3 proteins at 37 °C for 60 min in the remodeling buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM ATP, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, and 5 U HhaI). The reactions were stopped by adding 2 µL of proteinase K buffer containing 6.7 mg/ml proteinase K, 167 mM EDTA, and 1.7% SDS. After incubation at 50 °C for 10 min, the DNAs were analyzed by 6% native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The separated DNA fragments were visualized with UV light on the ChemiDox XRS system (BIO-RAD). The band intensities were quantified by ImageJ.

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.
