Then, radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (P0013B, Beyotime, Nantong, China) was added to each well to collect cell lysates. The ALP activity, which is the differentiation marker of osteoblasts, was evaluated by an ALP assay kit (Beyotime) and was represented as the unit activity per mg of BCA protein content.

ALP activity assays were performed using an ALP assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). The hPDLCs (5.0 × 10 4 cells/well) were seeded in 24-well plates. After culturing in a growth medium overnight, the cells were incubated with MXene at various concentrations in an osteogenic differentiation medium. On day 7, the cells were washed twice with PBS twice and lysed in the assay buffer, followed by centrifugation at 1.5 × 10 4 rpm to remove the insoluble substance. Then, 50 μl of the supernatant from each sample was added to 96-well plates and mixed with 50 μl of chromogenic agent solution. The plate was incubated at 37 • C for 20 min and protected from light. The reaction was stopped by adding 100 μl of stop solution. The absorbance was measured at 405 nm using a SpectraMax M3 microplate reader. A standard curve was constructed, and the ALP activity level was expressed as compared to the control.
ALP staining was performed on day 7. The plates were washed with PBS and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min. The cells were then stained using a BCIP/NBT ALP staining kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

C3H10T1/2 cells (2 × 104 cells/well) were seeded in 12-well culture plates for 1 day and then the culture medium were replaced by the various extracts. After further cultured for 3 and 7 days, the expression of ALP was stained using the BCIP/NBT ALP color development kit (Beyotime, China) and the intracellular ALP activities were quantitatively assayed using ALP Assay Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, China). Total protein was measured by BCA protein quantitation kit (Beyotime, China). The ALP activity was normalized with total protein content.

The iSCAPs were seeded in 24-well plates and infected with indicated multiplicty of infection (MOI) values of AdGFP, AdBMP9, or AdsiBMP9. Polybrene (10 μg/mL) was used to enhance transduction efficiency for adenoviral infection. At 48 h after the infection, GFP signal or red fluorescent protein (RFP) signal of the infected iSCAPs was assessed under a fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss Microimaging GmbH, Gottingen, Germany). The infection efficiency was indicated by the GFP or RFP expression proportion of the cells. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) histochemical staining was carried out by using the NBT/BCIP staining kit (Beyotime-Bio, China), and ALP activity was assessed quantitatively with the ALP assay kit (Beyotime-Bio, China) on day 5. Each assay condition was performed in triplicate, and the results were repeated in at least three independent experiments. ALP activity was normalized by total cellular protein concentrations determined by the bicinchoninic acid Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime-Bio, China).

Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were obtained from 1-month-old BALB/c and Kunming mice purchased from Kunming Ainimo Experimental Animal Co., Ltd. (Kunming, China). The differentiation of BMSCs requires osteogenic induction solution, which comprises 10 mmol/L β-sodium glycerophosphate (Sigma), 50 mg/L vitamin C and 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone (Meilunbio, Dalian, China). MC3T3-E1 cells were purchased from Kunming Cell Bank, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The samples were collected at different time points. The mRNA expression of ALP, collagen I (ColI), osteocalcin (OC), OPG, osteopontin (OPN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in BMSCs and MC3T3-E1 cells were detected by qRT-PCR. ALP activity was detected with an ALP Assay Kit (P0321S; Beyotime, Shanghai, China), and the concentration of the osteogenic protein OC was detected by ELISA (CSB-E17681m; Cusabio, Wuhan, China).

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.
