Culturing Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) were purchased from Invitrogen (Waltham, MA, USA). hASCs were cultured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. hASCs were grown in low glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco). The medium was replaced with fresh medium every two to three days, and cells were passaged using 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (Gibco) when they reached about 80% confluency. Cells from passages 6 to 8 were used for experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary hASCs and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were obtained from ScienCell Company. Cells were cultured at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2 atmosphere and full relative humidity. To minimize the exogenous exosomes, hASCs were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Gibco) free of exosomes through ultracentrifugation at 100 000 g overnight with an Optima L‐90K Ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Inc). For the in vitro experiments, hBMSCs were cultured in proliferation medium (PM), which consisted of minimum essential medium α (α‐MEM, Gibco), 10% (v/v) foetal bovine serum (FBS, ScienCell) and 100 IU/mL antibiotics (Gibco). For osteogenic induction, hBMSCs were cultured in osteogenic medium (OM), which consisted of standard PM supplemented with 10 mmol/L β‐glycerophosphate, 0.2 mmol/L L‐ascorbic acid and 100 nmol/L dexamethasone. All other materials were purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich unless otherwise mentioned, and all experiments conducted with hBMSCs were extracted from three donors (Catalog#15901, #6881, #6890).

Primary human ASCs (hASCs) were purchased from LaCell LLC (New Orleans, LA, USA). Each hASC cell line underwent full characterization individually prior to being pooled together [32 (link),33 (link),34 (link),35 (link),36 (link)]. Pooled hASCs from 5 healthy donors were thawed at passage 3 and maintained in complete culture medium (CCM) consisting of minimum essential medium alpha (Cat #: 12561; Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Cat #: SH30396.03; Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA), and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Cat #: 15140122; 10,000 U/mL, Thermo Fisher) in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Media was changed every 2–3 days until cells achieved 80% confluence then harvested with 0.25% trypsin/1 mM EDTA (Cat #: 25200056; Thermo Fisher) and passaged. For all experiments in this study, cells were used at passage 5. Complete donor information is listed in Table 1.

Micropatterning of hASCs on Heparin Hydrogels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used hASCs (R7788115; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for cell-loaded micropatches. hASCs were cultured in a 10 cm2 culture dish containing Alpha modified Eagle’s medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco), and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Gibco) at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 as manufactures protocol. When cells reached 70–80% confluence, they were trypsinized with TrypLE™ Express without phenol red (Gibco), and the seeding density was 5000 cells/cm2. The medium was replaced every 3–4 days with fresh subculture. Cells were used for transplantation at passages 5–6.
Before seeding hASCs on the micropatterned heparin-based hydrogel, PEG-SH in PBS (pH 8.0) was grafted on the remaining area of the electrode without hydrogel pattern to prevent the non-selective cell attachment on the substrate. Then, hASCs (2 × 105 cells) were seeded on the electrode with hydrogel micropattern in a 6-well plate (ultra-low attachment). The seeded cells on the micropatterned hydrogels were cultured for 7 days in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin.

The present study used hASCs (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) to establish an E-MS-printing process. Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium low glucose (DMEM-L; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Biowest, France) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (PS; Gibco, USA) was used to culture the hASCs. HepG2 cells (Korean Cell Line Bank, South Korea) and HUVECs (Lonza, USA) were fabricating minispheroid-loaded liver tissues. Minimum essential medium (MEM) (Gibco, USA) containing 10% FBS, 1% PS, 25 mM HEPES (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), 25 mM Sodium Bicarbonate (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), and EBM™-2 Bullet Kit™ (EBM; Lonza, USA) containing 10% FBS and 1% PS were used to culture HepG2 cells and HUVECs, respectively. The cells were incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2, and the culture medium was changed every two days.

Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) were purchased from Lonza (PT-5006, Lot.0000605220). hASCs were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM, Gibco®, Thermo Fisher Scientific, lnc., Walthan, MA, USA) with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, Gibco®, Thermo Fisher Scientific, lnc., Walthan, MA, USA) and 100 units/mL of penicillin–streptomycin (Gibco®) in a humidified 37 °C incubator with 5% CO2. hASCs (passage 5) were seeded at a density of 1 × 105 cells/well with culture media onto a 12-well plate. After 24 h of culture, the culture medium was replaced with an extract medium which was eluted for 24 h by soaking each bone graft. The control groups were exposed only to standard culture medium. After 24 or 48 h of incubation, cell viability was evalutated using a CCK-8 assay (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA). CCK reagent was added per well and incubated at 37 °C for 3 h. The absorbance values were measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Epoch™ Microplate Spectrophotometer, BioTek Instruments, Inc., Winooski, VT, USA). All experiments were performed in triplicate wells for each group.

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.
