Quantifying BMP-2 Loading and Release from Microparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant human BMP-2 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) was dissolved at 100 μg/mL in sterile water and single use aliquots were frozen until use. For loading and release studies, 0.1 mg of each MP formulation and 100 ng BMP-2 were incubated in 0.5 mL 0.5% BSA PBS solution for 16 h at 4°C. The amount of BMP-2 was chosen to ensure that the concentration of BMP-2 released from the MPs falls within the linear range of the BMP-2 bioactivity assay. After 16 hours, MPs were centrifuged at 15,000 RCF for 3 min, the supernatant was removed, and MPs were re-suspended in 0.5 mL fresh 0.5% BSA solution. The supernatant removed at 16 and 19 h was used to quantify loading onto MPs via BMP-2 ELISA (R&D Systems). Assuming that BMP-2 released over the initial 3 h was not specifically bound to the MPs, the BMP-2 in the supernatant at 16 and 19 h was subtracted from the amount of BMP-2 in BMP-2 samples that had been incubated for the same time without MPs to determine the amount of BMP-2 bound/loaded onto MPs. Following this loading procedure, MPs were incubated at 37°C and supernatant was collected on days 1, 2, 4, 7, and 10 to quantify BMP-2 release (n = 3–5).

Proliferative hair follicle cells (5×105 cells/dish) were cultured in α Minimum Essential Medium (αMEM; Wako Pure Chemical Industries) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 200 ng/mL recombinant human BMP-2 (R&D Systems, Inc., MN, USA) in 6-cm collagen Type I-coated dishes (IWAKI). Fresh medium was added on day 3 of the culturing process. Osteoblastic differentiation was determined by measuring ALP activity, ALP staining, and expression of osteoblast-related genes (Runx2, ALP, osteocalcin, osterix). To confirm calcification, proliferative hair follicle cells (2×104 cells/well) were cultured in αMEM containing 10% FCS, 200 ng/mL recombinant human BMP-2, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 50 mg/mL ascorbic acid (Sigma-Aldrich), and 10−8 M dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich) in 96-well collagen Type I-coated plates (IWAKI) for 20 days.

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.
