The total phenolic content (TPC) of the extracts was calculated using the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent method [16 (link)]. We added 500 μL of the sample or standard, diluted with 50 μL Folin–Ciocalteau reagent (1 N; Sigma-Aldrich), and left it to stand for 3 min. Next, 100 μL of 20% Na2CO3 was added to the mixture, which was then shaken and incubated at room temperature for 60 min. For the analysis of the total phenol content, Folin–Ciocalteau reagent, which colored blue when reacted with phosphomolybdic acid, was used, and the value was expressed as gallic acid equivalent (mg GAE/g). All samples were analyzed in 3 repetitions, and absorbance was measured at 732 nm using a multi-plate reader (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA). The total flavonoid content (TFC) in the extracts was determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent method [16 (link)], with some modifications. A total of 150 μL of the solution (standard or CLF1 and CLF2) was mixed with 0.3 mL of NaNO2 (5%, w/v). After 5 min, 10 μL of AlCl3 (10%, w/v) was added. The sample was mixed and neutralized after 6 min with 0.5 mL of 1 M NaOH solution. The mixture was then left for 10 min at room temperature. The catechin equivalent (mg of CAE/g) was the TFC standard, and absorbance was detected at 510 nm using a multi-plate reader (BioTek Instruments).

Cell proliferation was quantified through the utilization of Cell Counting Kit-8 assays (CCK-8, Beyotime). Cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 103 cells per well and treated with the leachate from each group. At predetermined intervals (1, 3, 5, and 7 days), 100 μl of the CCK-8 solution was added and the cells were incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Optical density (OD) was subsequently measured at a wavelength of 450 nm using a multiplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA).

To explore potential non-canonical signaling processes involved in CTGF-induced tenogenesis, Cignal 45-Pathway Reporter Arrays were used to simultaneously assess 45 different signaling pathways by luciferase assay. Mouse ASCs (40,000 cells/well) were seeded into Cignal Finder 96-well plates (SABiosciences, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Reporter DNA constructs resident in each plate well were re-suspended with 50 ml Opti-MEM and then mixed with 50 μl diluted transfection reagent. ASCs were suspended in Opti-MEM supplemented with 5% FBS and 0.1 mM NEAA at a density of 6 × 105 cells/ml. The 50 μl cell suspension was added into each plate well and mixed with DNA resident in the plate, and transfection complexes were re-suspended and mixed in wells. The cells were incubated at 5 % CO2 and 37 °C up to 48 h. After 48 h, the cells were treated with DMSO or CTGF (100 ng/ml) for 6 h in fresh Opti-MEM. Cells were then lysed with 1 × PLB buffer (25 μl/well) by incubation on a shaking platform for 30 min at 25 °C in the dark. The lysates (20 μl) were transferred to wells of opaque 96-well plates for measurement of luciferase expression on a multiplate reader (Biotek).26 (link)

Murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Hyclone Florida, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, ExCell Bio Shanghai, China), 1% Penicillin Streptomycin (Gibico California, USA) at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2. After spreading at 80–90% confluence, cells were washed with PBS, scraped with fresh culture, and subcultured into 96-well plates at a density of 5.0 × 103 cells/well and incubated with or without LPS (1 μg/mL). The cells were exposed to different concentrations of gentiopicroside, loganic acid, swertiamarin, and vitexin (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 50 μM) with or without LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 h.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
