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.

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).

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.
