ChIP was performed using the MAGnify Chromatin Immunoprecipitation System (Invitrogen). Protocol was performed as described in44 (link). For each ChIP reaction 300,000 cells were used, cell lysates were added to their respective antibody/beads for 2 h. Eluted DNA was PCR amplified with primers encompassing the Gli- responsive elements of human ABC promoter. The following antibodies were used: IgG rabbit (Invitrogen), rabbit polyclonal anti-Gli1 H300 (sc-20687, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.), rabbit polyclonal anti-acetyl-histone 3 (06599, Millipore). Eluted DNA has been analysed with Q-PCR. Primers were designed with Primer-Blast designing tool (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/primer-blast/) and Primers tool (Genomatix Genome Analyzer, GGA, v3.30126, https://www.genomatix.de/) and are reported in Supplementary Table 2.
