Chromatin immunoprecipitaion assay
chromatin was made as described1,2 and subject to immunoprecipitation in
lysis buffer [25mM Tris (pH 8.1), 140mM NaCl, 1% Triton X100, 0.1%
histone H3 lysine 9 antibody (UBI, CA, USA) at 4˚C overnight. Sonicated
salmon sperm DNA (5µg) was mixed with the chromatin solution briefly.
Immunocomplexes were then recovered by adding 50 µl of 50% protein A
4
Sepharose beads suspension and incubated at 4˚C for 2 hr. Beads were
washed sequentially for 5 min each in 10 ml of TSE buffer with 150 and
500mM NaCl, buffer III, and TE (pH 8). Immunocomplexes were eluted
off the beads by incubation with 200 µl of 1% SDS, 0.1M NaHCO 3. The
eluent was heated at 65˚C for 6 hr to reverse the formaldehyde crosslinks
resuspended in 50 µl TE. PCR was performed with 10 µl of DNA sample,
specific primers (Ecadherin promoter, forward primer 5’CAC TCC AGC
TTG GGT GAA AGA3’, reverse primer 5’CAG CGC CGA GAG GCT
GCG GCT3’; erbB2 promoter, forward primer 5’CTG AGA CTT AAA
AGG GTG TTA3’, reverse primer 5’TTT CTC CGG TCC CAA TGG
AGG3’) and 22 to 25 cycles. PCR products were resolved and visualized
with ethidium bromide.
