Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human primary dermal fibroblasts HDFa (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were seeded in a 24-well plate at a density of 1.5 × 104 cells per well in S10 cultivation media (DMEM supplemented with 1% penicillin (100 U mL−1)–streptomycin (100 μg mL−1) (P/S) and 10% FBS). The cells were incubated for 24 h at +37 °C with 5% CO2 to allow them to attach and initiate proliferation. Fresh media containing a combination of extracts were added, and the cells were cultivated at +37 °C with 5% CO2. Media samples were collected for analysis after 24 and 72 h of incubation with the combination. The secretion of pro-collagen I and MMP-1 in the cultivation media was quantified using ELISA immunoassays employing R&D Systems DuoSet Human pro-collagen I alpha 1 and MMP-1 ELISA kits (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Standard dilutions of pro-collagen I (R&D Systems Minneapolis, USA) and MMP-1 (R&D Systems Minneapolis, USA) were utilized to generate the standard curve and calculate the concentrations of both analytes in the cultivation media.

Chondrocyte Response to MMP-1 Exposure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three stimulation groups were performed on DC pellets, namely the MMP-1, the CM + MMP-1, and the control group. Pellets in the MMP-1 group were cultured in chondrogenic media: DMEM-high glucose added with insulin, transferrin, and selenium (ITS-G; Thermo Fisher Scientific), 5 mg/mL linoleic acid, 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1; R&D Systems, MN, USA), 14 mg/mL ascorbic acid , 10 -7 M dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA), 1.0 mg/mL human serum albumin (Equitech-Bio Inc., Kerrville, TX, USA), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin). Based on the concentration of MMP-1 detected in disk tissue from patients diagnosed with degenerative disk disease, concentrations of 5, 50, or 100 ng/mL MMP-1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) were selected and added to the pellet from days 14-28 during every media change. MMP-1 was added on day 14 in order to allow the cells to start producing matrix within the pellets before the matrix-degrading enzyme was added. Pellets in the CM + MMP-1 group were cultured in CM supplied with chondrogenic media in a 1: 1 ratio to replenish the nutrients depleted. MMP-1 at concentrations of 5, 50, or 100 ng/mL were added on days 14-28. Pellets treated with chondrogenic media alone without addition of MMP-1 or CM served as controls.

Recombinant human carrier-free MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-12 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota) were diluted upon receipt to 75 µg/ml in 50 mM Tris, 10 mM·CaCl2, 150 mM·NaCl, 0.05% (w/v) Brij 35, and pH 7.5. MMPs were activated by incubation with 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA) at 100 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma Aldrich, UK) was added to a final concentration of 1 mM. Activation incubation times at 310 K were 1 hour for MMP1-1 and MMP-2 and 24 hours for MMP-9 and MMP-12. Following incubation, enzymes were aliquoted and frozen at 193 K until required. A 5 μl aliquot was thawed and added to 600 µl of the biosensor solution, immediately prior to the NMR experiments.

For Western blotting, chondrocytes in pellet cultures were lysed in RIPA-Benzonase buffer [22 (link)]. After the addition of the lysis buffer, the samples were left on ice for 15 minutes with vortexing every 5 minutes for 10 seconds. Lysate protein samples were then sonicated for 5 minutes, followed by centrifugation at 7000 g for 15 minutes. The protein quantity loaded on Western blot gel corresponded to 25 × 104 cells. Primary antibodies and dilutions were anti-CDKN2A/p16INK4a (ab54210; Abcam; 1:1,000) and anti-β actin (Sigma-Aldrich A228; 1:8,000). Secondary antibody used for Western blot analysis was goat anti-mouse IgG HRP conjugate (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA; 115-035-003; 1:80,000). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were performed by using kits (IL-6, IL-8, pro-MMP13, and MMP1) from R&D Systems on supernatants stored at −20°C until analysis. Data were normalized and expressed as picograms per milliliter.

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.
