BMMSCs were seeded on twelve‐well culture dishes and grown to 80%–90% confluence followed by serum starvation for 2h. Cav1.2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐42689) or β‐catenin siRNA (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐29210) was transfected into BMMSCs at a final concentration of 50 nM, and overexpression plasmid of Cav1.2 (addgene, Plasmid #26572) was transfected into BMMSCs at 500 ng. For the control groups of siRNA or plasmid transfection experiments, scramble siRNA (RiboBio) or control overexpression vector pcDNA6/V5‐His (Invitrogen) was included. Lipo2000 (Invitrogen) was used as a transfection reagent according to the manufacturer's instructions. After transfection, the culture medium was substituted by normal culture medium and cells were harvested at 48 hr for RNA and 72 hr for protein extraction. For detection of the osteogenic differentiation capacity, transfection medium was removed in the next day and replaced by osteogenic induction medium.

In Vitro Ischemic Injury Model for Retinal Ganglion Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We established an in vitro mimic of ischemic injury in RGCs according to our previously applied calcium ionophore/ATP depletion injury model (Zhang et al. 2021 (link); Ge et al. 2020 (link); Lee and Emala 2002 (link)). When RGCs were confluent over 90% of the plate, ischemia was simulated for 2 h by changing the medium to Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS) with 10 mM antimycin A (a complex III inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport; ab141904; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, US) and 2 mM calcium ionophore (A2318; Aladdin, Shanghai, China), which were dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The complete growth medium was reapplied, and the cells were sustained for 0–4 h. For gene knockdown and overexpression experiments, 24 h before ischemic injury, when the density of the RGCs on the 24-well plate reached 80% to 90%, the cells were transfected lncRNA uc007nnj.1 siRNA/plasmid, miR-155-5p mimic or inhibitor, Tle4 siRNA, and scramble siRNA (Ribobio) using Lipofectamine 2000. After 6–8 h, the transfection solution was removed and replaced with a complete growth medium. Immunofluorescence staining of Tuj1 (1:500, GB11139; Servicebio, Wuhan, China) was used to identify the purity of RGCs.

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.
