Wound Healing Assay with Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were grown in silicone Culture-Inserts 4 Well (80469, Ibidi, Gräfelfing, Germany) to create the cell-free area (wound). After reaching confluence, the inserts were removed and cells washed with PBS before preincubation with the inhibitors for 30 min and stimulated with LPA or EtOH. Pictures were taken at a 10x magnification from four different fixed areas with a Leica DMI3000B microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) using Leica Application Suite (LAS) V4.7 at time points 0 and 8 h. The cell-free area was analyzed and calculated using ImageJ (NIH) software.

A total of 4 × 104 of stably transfected cells were seeded into a 12-well plate with Culture-Inserts 4 Well (Ibidi, Gräfelfing, Germany). After culturing overnight, the well was removed, and the cells were incubated with a serum-free medium for another 24–48 h. Images of the wound healing process were captured at every 2 h using Incucyte ZOOM (Essen BioScience, Michigan, MI, USA). To evaluate the cells’ wound healing ability, the percentage of wound closure was calculated using ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Transwell and Wound Healing Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transwell assays were performed with 24‐well cell culture inserts with an 8.0 µm pore size (Falcon, USA) with Matrigel (1 : 10) (BD Biosciences, USA). A total of 5 × 104 DLD1 or 8 × 104 HCT116 cells were placed into the upper chamber in 0.2 ml of serum‐free DMEM, whereas CAF cells or CAF CM or control medium was placed in the lower chamber as a chemoattractant. Migrated and invaded cells on the other side of the membrane were fixed and stained with crystal violet for 5 min after 24 h of culture. Each assay was repeated three times. For the wound healing assay, 5 × 104 cells per well in 4‐well culture inserts (ibidi, Germany) were seeded into 12‐well plates, and wounds were made. The size of the wound was captured every day by an IncuCyte ZOOM live cell imager and measured by ImageJ software.

Osteoblast-Osteoclast Co-culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Osteoblasts isolated from the trabecular bone of healthy individuals with the informed consent of the donors were obtained from PromoCell (#C12720), operating under Approval # 219-04 of the Ethics Commission of the State Chamber of Medicine. The cells were cultured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Osteoclast precursors were derived from primary human monocytes by 6 days of culture in M-CSF as described above. Osteoblasts and osteoclast precursors were cultured in 35 mm dishes with 4-well culture inserts (ibidi, #81156) at a 3:1 well ratio. 48 h before co-culture mixing, osteoblasts were switched to serum free alpha MEM with 1x pen/strep (Gibco). Following serum starvation, 4-well culture inserts were removed, and cells were cultured in their conditioned media overnight with or without treatment. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde the following morning.

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.
