For RNA and protein expression analysis, 1 × 105 cells were seeded per well of a 6-well plate and cultured to 75% confluency prior further treatment. For THP1 cell adherence assay, 50 HPdLF per mm2 were seeded on coverslips in 24-well plates and cultured to 75% confluence.
THP1 monocytic cells (DMSZ, Braunschweig, Germany) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco) containing 10 % FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin at 37 °C, 5 % CO2 and 95 % humidity.

Western Blot Analysis of Stem Cell Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in NP40 buffer, proteins (20–50 μg/lane) were electrophoresed in SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Protran; Whatman, Dassel, Germany). Membranes were incubated at 4°C overnight with primary antibodies, as follows: mouse anti-human SCF, mouse anti-human CD117/c-Kit, mouse anti-human Bmi-1, or mouse anti-human GAPDH (R&D Systems). SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce; Rockford, IL, USA) was used to visualize immunoreactive proteins. Here, we used dental pulp cells (DP) that outgrew from partially digested human pulp tissue specimens; periodontal ligament cells (PDL) cells obtained commercially (HPdLF, Lonza, Walkersville, USA); and Stem cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth (SHED; gift from Songtao Shi) as control cell types.

For examining the biological effects of the endodontic sealers, human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF, Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), human osteoblasts (hOB, Promocell, Heidelberg, Germany), and human mesenchymal stem cells of male Caucasian origin (hMSC, Lonza) were used. hPDLF and hMSC were cultured in high glucose Dulbecco’s modified eagle’s medium (DMEM, gibco/life technologies), and osteoblast growth medium (OGM, PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) was used for the cultivation of hOB. All media were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 100 U/ml of penicillin G and 100 µg/ml streptomycin (Merck). All experiments were performed with cells at passage 4–8 and all cell types were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.

Overexpression of each plasmid was performed using Lipofectamine P3000 reagent (Invitrogen, Van Allen Way Carlsbad, CA, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After 24 h, immunofluorescence and cell proliferation assays were performed. All experiments using the expression plasmids were approved by the Recombinant Experiment Committee of our institution (G2020-021A).

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.
