Cells were cultured in osteogenic medium with or without roxadustat. ALP staining was performed at day 7 of roxadustat treatment. We fixed cells with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained them using an ALP staining kit (Beyotime, China) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were stained for 15 min at room temperature, and the staining was stopped by washing with distilled water three times. The integrated staining intensity was calculated with Image-Pro Plus software (IPP, Media Cybernetics, USA).
The matrix mineralization of cells was determined by Alizarin Red S staining at day 14 of roxadustat treatment. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with 1% Alizarin Red S (Solarbio, China), pH 4.2, for 10 min at room temperature. Then, the cells were washed with distilled water three times to eliminate nonspecific staining. To quantify extracellular matrix mineralization, the bound stain was eluted with 10% (w/v) cetylpyridinium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in water at room temperature for 40 min followed by dilution with the same volume of 10% (w/v) cetylpyridinium chloride [18 (link)] and then quantified by measuring absorbance at 570 nm.

A SHED cell suspension (2.0×104 cells/well) was seeded in culture dishes containing the different scaffolds and was cultured for 21 days in ODM (n = 3). The scaffolds were then washed with PBS (Sigma-Aldrich), fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution for 10 min and immersed in an aqueous solution with 1 vol% hydroxyl ammonium and 1 wt% Alizarin Red for 3 min. After several washes to remove excess stain, the scaffolds were dried, and the dye was desorbed from the scaffolds using 10% cetylpyridinium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h [33 (link)]. The absorbance of the Alizarin Red/calcium complex was measured at 570 nm for scaffolds in the presence or absence of cells. The initial mineral content of the scaffold composition was subtracted from the final mineral content.

For the validation of the VC cellular model, primary RVSMCs were seeded in a 12-well plate. When cells reached about 80% confluence, 2 mM Pi was treated for 6 h, 3 days, and 6 days, respectively. For the confirmation of the effects of circSamd4a knockdown or its overexpression, A10 cells were seeded in a 24-well plate. After a day, cells were treated with either siRNA or overexpression vector. Then, 4 mM Pi was treated for an additional 3 days. For the ARS staining, cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 10% formalin at room temperature for 1 h. After removing 10% formalin, cells were washed three times with distilled water. When the samples were exposed to air and dried, 40 mM ARS solution (pH 4.2) (Sigma) was treated, and the samples were incubated overnight with rotation at room temperature. After removing the ARS solution, samples were washed with distilled water and PBS.
For ARS staining quantification, 300 μL 10% cetylpyridinium chloride (Sigma) was added to samples and incubated for 30 min. Then 200 μL dissolved solution was used to measure their absorbance at 562 nm by utilizing a microplate spectrophotometer (BioTek Instruments).

Quantifying ECM Calcification Levels

The extend of ECM calcification correlates with the grade of ECM maturation. The cells were fixed with 70% ethanol (Serva Electrophoresis, Heidelberg, Germany) in aqua dest. for 20 min at 6 °C after the CCM was discarded, and the cells were rinsed with DPBS beforehand. The fixation solution was removed, and the cells were once more washed with aqua dest. before 0.5% Alizarin Red S (Waldeck GmbH & Co. KG, Muenster, Germany) in aqua dest. was added for 10 min at room temperature. The supernatant of the staining solution was removed, and the cells underwent another washing procedure with aqua dest. to ensure only the bound stains remained. For quantification, the colored calcium was dissolved by adding 10% cetylpyridiniumchloride (Sigma-Aldrich) solution containing 10 mM sodiumdihydrogenphosphate (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany). Optical density was measured with a microplate reader (Autobio PHOmo) at 570 nm. For the quantitative determination of bound Alizarin Red S, a standard dilution series ranging from 90 µg down to 0 µg Alizarin Red S solution was plotted.

Following the 15-day culture period, the cells underwent PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) washing and fixation with 10% formaldehyde at room temperature for 15 min. Subsequently, the cells were rinsed thrice with ddH2O and stained with a 40 mM alizarin red solution (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck Group) at room temperature for 30 min. After staining, the cells were washed four times with ddH2O. For quantification, the stained mineralized nodules were subjected to a 30 min incubation with 10% cetylpyridinium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich). The resulting solutions were collected, and absorbance at 562 nm was measured using a Tecan Infinite M200 microplate reader. Sample quantification was performed based on the alizarin red standard curve. The inclusion of alizarin red staining, a widely accepted method for assessing calcium deposition, complemented the quantitative measures by providing a qualitative and visual evaluation of mineralization [68 (link)].

To determine the optimal time-span of extracted hADSC-Exos during hADSCs osteogenic differentiation, the hADSCs of passage 4 were seeded into the 24-well plates, and was cultured in PM. After getting 70–80% confluence, the culture medium was replaced by PM containing exosomes (Exo0d, Exo1−14d and Exo15−28d) from different time-span of hADSCs osteogenesis induction. hADSCs cultured in exosomes-free PM and OM were set as negative and positive controls, respectively.
The mineralized deposits were evaluated by ARS after incubation for 21 days. After fixation by 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min, the cells were washed three times with PBS before staining with Alizarin red S for 5 min, and then the samples were washed again with PBS. For ARS quantitation the mineralized deposits were dissolved in 10% cetylpyridinium chloride (Sigma, USA) in dark for 30 min at room temperature. The solution was transferred to a 96-well plate with 100 μL/well. The optical density (OD) values was measured at 562 nm using a microplate reader (BioTek EL808, USA).

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.
