Effect of Substance P on Tenocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Human tenocytes were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin. Human tenocytes were purchased from Zen-Bio (NC, USA). The cells were divided into three groups based on the duration of SP exposure: Control (no SP treatment), Once (10−5 M SP once on day 0), and Daily (10−5 M SP daily for 10 days). For the Control and Once groups, the same dose of PBS was used as Control when SP was not administered. After 10 days of cell culture, cell viability was measured using the WST-1 assay. Next, qRT-PCR and ICC were used to analyze the tendinopathy-related markers to determine the different effects of the duration of SP treatment.

Tenocyte Modulation by Palmitate and DEL-1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human tenocytes (ZenBio, USA) were cultured with tenocyte culture medium (ZenBio) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (HyClone, USA) and 1% antibiotics (100 IU/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin) (HyClone) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. The cells were cultured on collagen type I-coated (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) culture plates and rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Tenocytes were subcultured when they reached approximately 90 to 95% confluence. Tenocytes at passages 4 or 5 were used and confirmed to be free of contamination with mycoplasma. Sodium palmitate (Sigma-Aldrich) was conjugated with 5% bovine serum albumin (fatty acid-free grade; Sigma-Aldrich). Human recombinant DEL-1 (Abcam, USA) was reconstituted in PBS. Tenocytes were treated with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-conjugated palmitate (400 μM), DEL-1 (0 to 2 μg/ml), 3-methyladenine (3-MA) (0.5 mM) (Sigma-Aldrich), and/or 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) (0.1 mM) (Sigma-Aldrich) at the same time for 24 hours. BSA was used as a vehicle control.

Paracrine Factors Influence on Tenocyte Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the influence of paracrine factors secreted from MSCs cultured on electrospun sheets on the migration of tenocytes, MSC conditioned medium was collected and applied to tenocytes. MSCs were seeded on the SG7 with a density of 5000 cells/cm2 and cultured for 10 days. The conditioned medium was collected at the 4th, 7th, and 10th day of culture. The collected conditioned medium was mixed together and stored at −20oC for further use. The conditioned medium of MSCs cultured on SF, GelMA, and TCP were used as control. Human Tenocytes (Zen Bio) were seeded in 12 well plate with a density of 105 cells/well and cultured at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in high glucose DMEM (Gibco) along with 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 10% FBS. After the cells were confluent, the cell medium was removed and a uniform ~0.5 mm width scratch was created by scraping the confluent cell layers with a sterile pipette. Then, the cells were cultured in MSCs conditioned medium or fresh DMEM with 10% FBS. The images of the scratched wound were taken at predetermined time points to evaluate the migration of the cells.

Modulation of Tenocyte Inflammatory Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human tenocytes (Zen-Bio Inc., Research Triangle Park, NC, USA) were cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The 1 × 106 cells were incubated in medium containing 1 ng/mL IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 24 h. In a subset experiment, cells were transfected with 50 nM miR-29a precursor, antisense oligonucleotide, or scramble control (Applied Biosystems) using Lipofectamin™ 2000 (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) and followed by incubating in 1 ng/mL IL-1β for 24 h.

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.
