Antigen: Synthetic peptide
Description: Antibodies to this protein (and modification) were previously sold as part of a Thermo Scientific Cellomics High Content Screening Kit. This replacement antibody is now recommended for researchers who need an antibody for high content cell based assays. It has been thoroughly tested and validated for cellular immunofluorescence (IF) applications. Further optimization including the selection of the most appropriate fluorescent Dylight conjugated secondary antibody may have to be performed for your high content assay.

Experimental details: Immunocytochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded HeLa cells. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) buffer for 10 minutes at 95C. Following antigen-retrieval, tissues were incubated in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes, washed, and then blocked in 5% normal goat serum in TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. Tissues were stained with a p21 Waf1/Cip1 monoclonal antibody (Product # MA5-14949) at a dilution of 1:50 overnight at 4C. Tissues were washed extensively with TBS + 0.1% Tween-20 and detection was performed using a HRP-conjugated secondary reagent followed by DAB substrate.

Experimental details: Immunoprecipitation of p21 Waf1/Cip1 was performed on HUVEC cells. Antigen-antibody complexes were captured by incubating 200 µL of whole cell lysate with 20 µL of an immobilized p21 Waf1/Cip1 monoclonal antibody (Product # MA5-14949) overnight on a rocking platform at 4C.

Experimental details: Figure 1 Sp1 acetylation increases in a co-linear manner with bak and p21 expression following sodium butyrate treatment . HCT116 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of butyrate (0-20 mM) for 24 hr, fixed and fluorescence immunostained either for Sp1 and Bak or Ace-Sp1 and p21. Cellular fluorescence was quantified by High-Content Analysis. Panel A shows protein expression levels of Sp1 (Panel Ai); acetyl-Sp1 (Panel Aii); Bak, (Panel Aiii) and p21 (Panel Aiv). Data are from a single pass experiment with three replicates, with 50 fields per replicate scored. The EC 50 value for each event in response to butyrate is shown in Panel Av. Panel B shows representative images of HCT116 cells following 24 h of 0 or 10 mM sodium butyrate treatment and fluorescence immunostaining for acetyl-Sp1 and p21. Panel Bi shows representative fields from the control (untreated) cells (upper panel) and the treated culture (lower panel). Staining patterns in the treated cells broadly fell into two main types, cell positive for acetyl-Sp1 alone (examples marked by arrows i) and cells positive staining for both acetyl Sp1 and p21 (marked by arrows ii). These subpopulations were distinguished by plotting acetyl-Sp1 vs. p21 fluorescence (see supplementary online data Fig 2 for gating strategy). Panel Bii shows quantitation of data from three independent experiments, showing numbers of cells in gated fractions that were dual stained, as indicated.

Experimental details: Figure 3 Effect of HDACi on cell cycle, p21 expression, bak expression and Sp1 expression and acetylation . The extent of the concomitant response of Sp1 acetylation, cell cycle arrest and p21 up-regulation was determined using a high-content biology approach. HCT116 cells were treated with concentration ranges of 0-20 mM sodium butyrate, 0-20 mM valproic acid (VPA), 0-20 muM Oxamflatin, 0-20 muM Scriptaid, 0-20 muM APHA compound 8, 0-20 muM CHAHA. In all cases treatments were carried outfor 24 h. Cells were stained using immunocytochemistry for DNA content (Hoescht), p21, bak, Sp1 and acetyl-Sp1 as described in the methods section. Cells were analysed, on the basis of DNA content, for cell cycle phase and divided into G1 (filled circles), S (filled squares) or G2/M (filled triangles). Levels of protein were calculated from mean total fluorescence and are expressed in terms of fluorophore fluorescence relative to that observed in untreated cells. Sp1 (filled squares) and acetyl-Sp1 (open squares) are shown on the same graph.

Triangles represent mean values for n = 3 ( n = 2 for ( a ), ii) repeats with mean and s.e.m. shown. Scale bar = 100 um. One-way ANOVA with Sidak's multiple comparisons test was performed between mean values of palbociclib-treated samples in comparison to WT siNTC palbociclib, all differences were non-significant. ( c ) MCF7 cells were treated with DMSO for 72 h or palbociclib for 24, 48 or 72 h and (i) p21 and (ii) p27 levels quantified by immunofluorescence.

Experimental details: Effect of C3A on DHT-induced DPC senescence. A Dermal papilla cells (DPC) were treated with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (0 to 100 nM) for 72 h. Senescent cells were determined by senescence associated beta-galactosidase activity (SA-beta-gal) assay. The positive cells (blue) were counted in five random fields manually. Proportional number of positive cells was presented by the percentage of cells of each treat group. N = 5. B Cells were pretreated with MitoTEMPO (1 muM) for 30 min and treated with DHT (100 nM) for 48 h. Cells were stained with MitoSOX and analyzed by flow cytometer. N = 4.

D Cells were pretreated with cyanidin 3- O -arabinoside (C3A) (1 muM), cyanidin-3- O -glucoside (C3-glu, 1 muM), and cyanidin-3- O -galactoside (C3-gal, 1 muM) for 30 min and treated with DHT for 48 h. Cells were stained with MitoSOX and analyzed by flow cytometer. N = 4. E Cells were pretreated with C3A for 30 min and exposed to DHT for 72 h. SA-beta-gal assay was performed. N = 5. F Cells were pretreated with C3A for 30 min and treated DHT for 72 h. The protein expression levels of p16 and p21 were analyzed by western blot analysis. beta-actin was used as a loading control. N = 4. G DPCs were treated with vehicle or DHT for 72 h. DPC conditioned media was used for growth factor antibody array. The results were captured by chemilumines

Experimental details: Effect of C3A on DHT-induced nuclear translocation of AR. A - F DPCs were treated with C3A for 30 min prior to DHT for 24 h. A The relative mRNA expression level of AR was analyzed by real time PCR. Normalization was achieved by ACTB mRNA expression level ( B ) AR protein expression level was detected by western blot analysis. N = 3. C Nuclear and cytosolic proteins were separated by intracellular fractionation. Protein expression level of AR was detected. Lamin A/C was used as a nuclear marker, and alpha-tubulin was used as a cytosol marker. N = 3. D Cells were immunostained with anti-AR antibody (red). Nucleus is counterstained with DAPI (blue). N = 3. Magnification x1000. Scale bars are 8 mum. E AR transcriptional activity was analyzed by Cignal reporter assay. N = 5. F Phosphorylated HSP27 and HSP27 protein expression levels were analyzed by western blotting. N = 3. G Cells were transfected with non-targeting (NT) siRNA (25 nM) and AR siRNA (25 nM) and treated with DHT for 72 h. Western blotting analysis was performed for p16 and p21 proteins. beta-actin was used as a loading control. N = 3. Data are mean +- SEM. *p < 0.05 versus Control. # p < 0.05 versus DHT
