cell type: MPNST_NF1-derived treatment: HuR IP antibody: Anti-HuR (3A2) Mouse mAb, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Cat# sc-5261, RRID:AB_627770
Treatment protocol
Immunoprecipitation (IP) protocol of endogenous mRNA-HuR complexes was performed as described by (Jayaseelan et al., 2014; Keene et al., 2006). For RIP-ChIP analyses, frozen tissue samples from human cancer panel (n=8 neurofibroma and n=12 for MPNST) were homogenized in polysome lysis buffer [100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM DTT, 100 units/ml RNase OUT, 1X Protease Inhibitor Cocktail), incubated for 30 min on ice, and centrifuged at 13 000 rpm, 4ºC for 30 minutes. 500 l of lysates were pre-cleared by incubating with 25 l of protein A-sepharose 4B beads (Merck) and anti-mouse IgG (BD Biosciences) in 1 ml of NT2 buffer [50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.05% NP-40] and incubating under rotation for 30 min. The pre-cleared extracts were then divided and incubated with 50 l of protein A-sepharose 4B beads, pre-coated with anti-HuR or anti-mouse IgG antibodies. After incubation, beads were washed 5 times with 1 ml NT2 buffer and bound RNA recovered after proteinase K digestion (Roche) and phenol chloroform extraction. RNAs were then submitted to the Genomics Analysis Platform at CIC bioGUNE for analysis on HUMAN HT-12 V4 arrays (Illumina).

Data processing
The data were normalised using quantile normalisation with lumi in R After background correction with GenomeStudio and log2 transformation, probes with a detection p-value greater than 0.01 for all samples were discarded, using the detectionCall function in the lumi R package.
