A total of 1×10 5 DFCs and SHEDs were seeded into each well of a 6-well plate. Upon reaching 70% confluence, cells were cultured in neurogenic medium containing 2% dimethyl sulfoxide, 200 μM butylated hydroxyanisole (Sigma, USA), 25 mM KCl (Kelong, China), 2 mM valproic acid (Sigma, USA), 10 μM forskolin (Sigma, USA), 1 μM hydroxycortisone (Sigma, USA), and 5 μg/mL insulin (Gibco, USA) 3 (link). Cells grown in α-MEM supplemented with 10% FBS served as the negative control. After 4 h, cells were analyzed using immunofluorescence staining to determine the expression of the neural cell marker nestin (Abcam, USA). Images were captured and staining was analyzed under a fluorescence microscope (OLYMPUS, Japan). The expression of neurogenic genes GFAP, nestin and βIII-tubulin was analyzed using real-time PCR. The primer sequences are listed in Table 1. Relative expression levels were calculated using the 2-ΔΔCT method and normalized to the reference GAPDH gene. The experiment was repeated three times.

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.
