Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The nuclear protein levels of H4K20me2 and XPA Ser196 were evaluated after the A549 cells were exposed to PM10 and BaP for 24 h. Protein extraction was performed by separating the nuclear protein fraction and cytoplasmic protein fraction using Chemicon’s nuclear extraction kit (Millipore, 2900, Billerica, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Protein quantification was performed using the bicinchoninic acid assay, as previously mentioned. Fifteen micrograms of nuclear protein fraction was loaded into a 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel, and the levels of proteins were determined as previously described. Anti-H4K20me2 antibody (Abcam, ab9052) at 1:2000 and anti-phospho-XPA (Ser196) antibody (Thermo Fisher, 64730) at 1:500 were incubated overnight at 4 °C under constant agitation. Histone 3 (H3) (Abcam, ab1791) was used as a housekeeping protein at 1:5000 for 1 h at room temperature, followed by the incubation of HRP-secondary anti-mouse antibody (Amersham, NA931).

For real-time PCR quantification of H4K20me2-enriched genomic regions (qChIP), LN-229 cells (empty vector, KMT5B #3, and KMT5B #7) were freshly processed using the SimpleChIP Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit with magnetic beads (Cell Signaling, 9003). Immunoprecipitations were performed using antibodies against H4K20me2 (ab9052, Abcam), total histone H3 (Abcam, ab1791) as positive control, and IgG antiserum (Abcam, ab46540) as negative control (see Supplementary Table 2). DNA was purified and used for quantitative real-time PCR with SYBR Green 2X PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) and the primers for the gene loci listed in Supplementary Table 1. Input chromatin DNA was used to create a standard curve and determine the efficiency of amplification for each primer set in a StepOnePlusTM Real-Time PCR machine (Applied Biosystems). All samples were measured in triplicate. IgG was used as negative control. ChIP data were analyzed and are shown in the results as the percentage relative to the input DNA amount by the equation:

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.
