The mice were euthanized, and the brain tissue was harvested as indicated by the conditions. Immunofluorescence staining, western blotting and chromatin immunoprecipitation were performed as previously described (Lee et al., 2015 (link); Shi et al., 2013 (link); Xu et al., 2007 (link)). The antibodies used were the following: mouse anti-ZBTB20 9A10 (1:1,000, home made), mouse anti-BMAL1 (1:1,000, home made), goat anti-PROKR2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:400, Cat# sc-54317 RRID:AB_2253158), rabbit anti-AVP (Millipore,1:4000, Cat# AB1565 RRID:AB_11212336); rabbit anti-VIP (Immunostar, 1:2000, Cat# 20077 RRID:AB_572270); rabbit anti-P300 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:400, Cat# sc-584 RRID:AB_2293429); mouse anti-NeuN (Millipore, 1:100, Cat# MAB377 RRID:AB_2298772); goat anti-GAD65/67 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:400, Cat# sc-7513 RRID:AB_2107745); rabbit anti-acetyl-histone H3 (Lys9) (Millipore, 1:500, Cat# 07–352 RRID:AB_310544); and rabbit anti-dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys9) (Upstate Biotechnology, 1:500, Cat# 07–441 RRID:AB_310619). The NIH Image J (RRID:SCR_003070) software was used for the quantification of the band from Western blots. The primer sequences for CHIP are provided in Figure 5—source data 1.
