FimA levels were determined as described earlier (61 (link)). Strains were cultured in LB with or without 0.5-mM CuSO4 static for 24 h. OD600 of overnight cultures were adjusted to 1.0, acidified with water (pH 1.8), and denatured. An equal amount of protein was separated on 15% SDS-PAGE and transferred to 0.45-μm PVDF membrane (Millipore). Blots were blocked with 5% skim milk, probed with FimA antibody (1:10,000 dilution), detected with anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:10,000 dilution, Invitrogen), and visualized with ECL-Prime reagents (Amersham). Images were acquired in a Chemidoc system (Biorad). Duplicate gels were stained with Commassie blue to serve as loading controls.

The supernatants (corresponding to 10 μg of whole cell extracts) were mixed with an equal volume of tricine sample buffer (Biorad) containing 2% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol. The mixtures were boiled for 5 min and proteins were separated on standard 10% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto PROTRAN™ nitrocellulose membranes (Whatman®). Membranes were blocked in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) containing 0.1% Tween-20 and 5% non-fat dried milk for at least 2 hours at room temperature. The blots were then hybridized with antibodies raised against the following proteins: lamin-A/C (Santa Cruz), gelsolin (Abcam), glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase (Mitosciences), DJ-1 (Abcam) and β-actin (Sigma). Peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit IgGs (Molecular Probes) were used as secondary antibodies. Immunoreactive bands were detected by chemiluminescence with ECL® prime reagents (Amersham Biosciences) in a G:Box Chemi IR6 Image Analyzer (Syngene). Quantitative changes in band intensities were evaluated by densitometric scanning with the Image J software and the densitometric values were normalized to those of the loading controls.

Cell number was evaluated via the Hoechst assay, after 1, 7, and 14 days [10 (link)]. Constructs were digested at 60 °C in papain buffer [11 (link)]. Briefly, 10 µl of papain digest was added to Hoechst dye (Bisbenzimide H) for a final dye concentration of 0.1 µg/ml and fluorescence was measured (360 nm Ex, 460 nm Em). Metabolic activity was measured using an alamarBlue® assay (Invitrogen, UK) over 14 days. Samples were incubated for 4 h (37 °C) in 10 % alamarBlue® and fluorescence was read.
Protein expression at 14 days was analyzed using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, as in Hernandez et al. [12 (link)]. Scaffolds were incubated in cell lysis buffer (Invitrogen) and mixed with sodium dodecyl-sulphate (SDS) sample buffer. Standards were prepared from human cartilage, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, milled using a dismembrator (B Braun Biotech International GmbH), and suspended in cell lysis buffer (100 mg/ml). Scaffolds were probed for fibronectin (SC-9068, Santa Cruz Biotech), then stripped and reprobed for GAPDH as a control. Membranes were developed using ECL prime reagents (Amersham) and signal strength assessed using a densitometer.

Recombinant proteins and cell lysate proteins were detected using Western blotting. Before harvesting, MH7A cells and FLS were washed with PBS. The cells were homogenized in 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate sample buffer using BioMasher II (Nippi Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The samples were then centrifuged for 5 min at 15,000× g and 20–25 °C. Proteins were processed using a SuperSep Ace 10% precast gel (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Co.) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The membranes were probed with anti-β-actin (mouse monoclonal, clone AC-15; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-NRP1 (rabbit monoclonal, clone EPR3113; Abcam), and anti-NRP2 (rabbit polyclonal; Sigma-Aldrich) antibodies. Rabbit sera against anti-nucleocapsid (N) protein were prepared by immunizing rabbits with the N-terminal domain of SARS-CoV-2 N protein expressed and purified in E. coli. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology) were then added. Horseradish peroxidase activity was detected using ECL prime reagents (Cytiva, Tokyo, Japan), followed by imaging using an Image Quant LAS 500 (Cytiva) system.

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.
