Osteogenic Differentiation of MenSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Previous studies have demonstrated the osteogenic differentiation potential of MenSCs (29 (link)), thus we assessed the osteogenic differentiation potential of MenSCs. MenSCs (4×104 cells/well) were cultured in 12-well plates. The induction of osteogenic differentiation was initiated when cells reached sub-confluence by adding the osteogenic medium. The osteogenic medium was the DMEM medium supplemented with high glucose (4.5 g/L) (Gibco, Life Technologies), 10% FBS, 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 10 mmol/L β-glycerophosphate (Santa Cruz), and 0.1 µmol/L dexamethasone for 21 days. Alizarin Red S (Carl Roth) staining was subsequently performed and osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by microscopic observation. Undifferentiated cells were used as controls and the experiments were performed in triplicates.

The human glioma cell line, U251MG, was purchased from the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources Cell Bank (Osaka, Japan). U-251MG cells were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (D-MEM; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Biowest SAS, Nuaillé, France) and penicillin (100 units/mL) streptomycin (100 µg/mL) solution (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan) in non-coated flasks. Cultures were maintained in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air at 37 °C, and the medium was changed every 2–3 days.
Immortalized human normal astrocytes (HASTR/ci35) were kindly provided by Dr. Tomomi Furihata of Chiba University [36 (link)]. HASTR/ci35 cells were routinely grown at 33 °C with 5% CO2/95% air in Gibco® Astrocyte Medium (A1261301, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 1% N2 supplement, 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillinstreptomycin, and 4 µg/mL blasticidin S (SantaCruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA). For HASTR/ci35 cell differentiation, a culture medium without FBS was used, and the culture temperature was set at 37 °C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hASCs were encapsulated in the gel layer of TenoForce or BioTenoForce, and a set of experiments were performed to characterize cell viability, proliferation, and tenogenic differentiation. In brief, hASCs (passage 2–5, 4 million/mL) were mixed with GelMA prepolymer containing either 20% (v/v) tECM (final concentration in gel: 0.6 mg/mL) as BioTenoForce group or 20% (v/v) PBS as TenoForce group to formed hybrid constructs by UV irradiation (365 nm, 25 mW/cm2, 90 s). Different groups of scaffolds were cultured in growth medium (DMEM-high glucose (Thermo Fisher), 10% (v/v) FBS, 1% (v/v) Penicillin/Streptomycin, and 50 ng/mL ascorbic acid (Santa Cruz)). On designated time points (i.e., days 0, 7, 10, and 14), Live/Dead (Invitrogen) and dsDNA (Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Reagent, Invitrogen) assays were performed to determine cell viability and dsDNA content, respectively. To evaluate hASC tenogenic differentiation, tenogenesis-associated markers (SCX, MKX, TNC, and COL1A1) were assessed via qPCR and (TNC, COL1, TNMD, and F-actin) via fluorescence staining as previously described [31 (link)]. A detailed description can be found in the supplementary materials.

Hemagglutinin (HA)–tagged WT, the arginine to lysine 111/113 mutant E2F1 (KK), and the arginine to lysine 109 (R109K) constructs have been described previously (11 (link)). These were subcloned into a pTRE2-hyg expression vector (Clontech) and transfected into parental Tet-On U2OS cells (Clontech; RRID: CVCL_V335) to generate inducible, stable cell lines. These cells were selected in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin/streptomycin, G418 (100 μg/ml; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and hygromycin B (150 μg/ml; TOKU-E). For all experiments, doxycycline (1 μg/ml) was used to induce protein expression for 24 hours before harvest. E2F1 and TSN CRISPR cells were generated as per the protocol described (28 (link)) and cultured in DMEM containing 10% (v/v) FBS and penicillin/streptomycin. All cell lines were tested for mycoplasma contamination before use.

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.
