In this study, ChIP experiments were conducted utilizing the Magna ChIP Kit (Millipore, Bedford, MA) under the instruction of the manufacturer [15 (link)]. Cells were treated with 4% formaldehyde and the cell lysate was sonicated to interrupt intact chromatin into chromatin fragments (between 200 and 300 bp). Then, chromatin was immunoprecipitated with anti-EZH2 antibody from Abcam, and IgG was treated as a control. The precipitated chromatin DNA was recovered and measured using qRT-PCR. Among them, the primers used for ChIP-PCR are shown in Additional file 2: Table S1.
