Epigenetic Chromatin Remodeling in Stem Cells

hMSCs and HFF-1s were treated with lysine methyltransferase inhibitors (KMTi) to forcibly assume a chromatin structural state that is either more open or more closed. Cells were treated with 1, 5 and 10 μM of 3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) for 72 hours to selectively inhibit the enzymatic activity of EZH2, which is a KMT that targets lysine residue 27 on histone 3. 1, 2 and 4 mM of 5′-Deoxy-5′-(methylthio)adenosine (MTA) (Sigma-Aldrich) was introduced to cells for 24 hours to inhibit the MLL family of enzymes, which catalyze the trimethylation of lysine residue 4 on histone 3. After drug treatment, cells were subsequently fixed in 4% Paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA) and prepared for immunocytochemical labeling.

HUVECs (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), at passage 3–8, and MAECs, at passage 2–4, were cultured in endothelial growth medium 2 (EGM-2; Lonza, Basel, Switzerland). In some experiments, 10 ng/ml TNF-α (R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), 10 ng/ml IL-1β (R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), 0–100 µM adenosine (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), 10 μM ITU (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 2 µM ABT702 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 5 μM CGS21680 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 5 μM NECA (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 5 μM MRS1754 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 5 μM ZM241385 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 10 μM nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR) (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 0.1–1mM inosine (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), 2 mM 5′-deoxy-5′ (methylthio)adenosine (MTA) (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), 2 μM 5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), 1 mM SAH (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) or 20 µM adenosine-2′,3′-dialdehyde (Adox, Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) was added to the culture medium. Human monocytic THP-1 cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) used for monocyte adhesion assay were cultured in RPMI medium 1640 (Thermo Scientific, Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Thermo Scientific, Grand Island, NY, USA).

Wound Healing Assay for Tenocyte Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The migration was assessed through a wound healing assay. The tenocytes were seeded at a density of 4 × 104 cells/well in a 24-well culture plate. After reaching 80–85% confluence, the tenocytes were synchronized by serum starvation for 12 h. The confluent monolayer was then scratched with a 10-μL pipet tip and washed twice with PBS. The wells were filled with 1 mL of serum-free DMEM with or without MGF-C25E (Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, Burlingame, USA). To test whether chromatin decompaction inhibited the rate of cell migration, we examined the effect of the levels of DNA methylation on the rate of cell migration. The cells were incubated with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China) or methylase inhibitor 5’-deoxy-5’-methylthioadenosine (MTA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 60 min at 37 °C before scratching. Images of the wounds were acquired at 0, 24, and 48 h through a microscope (Olympus, Japan). Using Image J, the levels of wound closure were assessed by calculating the ratio of the closure area to the initial wound area as follows:  × 100 [%], where Wn represents the percentage of wound closure, An represents the residual wound area at the metering time point (h), and A0 represents the initial wound area.

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.
