Total RNA was isolated and purified using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) following the manufacturer s procedure. The RNA amount and purity of each sample was quantified using NanoDrop ND-1000 (NanoDrop, Wilmington, DE, USA), and the RNA integrity was assessed by Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent, CA, USA). Poly (A) RNA was purified from 50μg total RNA using Dynabeads Oligo (dT)25-61005 (Thermo Fisher, CA, USA) by two rounds of purification. Then the poly(A) RNA was fragmented into small pieces using Magnesium RNA Fragmentation Module (NEB, cat.e6150, USA) under 86℃ 7min. The cleaved RNA fragments were incubated for 2h at 4℃ with m6A-specific antibody (No. 202003, Synaptic Systems, Germany) in IP buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 750 mM NaCl and 0.5% Igepal CA-630). The IP RNA was reverse-transcribed to cDNA by SuperScript™ II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen, cat. 1896649, USA), which was next used to synthesise U-labeled second-stranded DNAs with E. coli DNA polymerase I (NEB, cat.m0209, USA), RNase H (NEB, cat.m0297, USA) and dUTP Solution (Thermo Fisher, cat.R0133, USA). An A-base was added to the blunt ends of each strand, preparing for ligation to the indexed adapters. Dual-index adapters were ligated to the fragments, and size selection was performed with AMPureXP beads. After the heat-labile UDG enzyme (NEB, cat.m0280, USA) treatment of the U-labeled second-stranded DNAs, the ligated products were amplified with PCR by the following conditions: initial denaturation at 95℃ for 3 min; 8 cycles of denaturation at 98℃ for 15 sec, annealing at 60℃ for 15 sec, and extension at 72℃ for 30 sec; and then final extension at 72℃ for 5 min. At last, we performed paired-end sequencing (PE150) on an Illumina Novaseq™ 6000 platform(LC-Bio Technology CO., Ltd., Hangzhou, China) following the vendor s recommended protocol. |
