Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat ADSC was extracted from inguinal adipose tissue of Lewis rats (4 to 6 weeks old). These samples were first digested by 0.1% collagenase (NB4, Serva, France) for 1 h under gentle agitation at 37 °C, before being filtered through a 40-μm nylon strainer (Falcon, Corning, USA). The resultant substrate was subjected to centrifugation before the cell pellets were resuspended in 10 cm2 culture plates at 37 °C, under a 5% CO2 atmosphere which contained low glucose complete Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 mg/mL streptomycin (Gibco, Invitrogen, USA) and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Sciencell, USA). Further studies utilized cell passages 2 through 4.
Flow cytometric analysis of the cell surface marker profile of ADSC was performed with a FACS Calibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) using primary antibodies for CD 90, CD 45, and CD44 (BioLegend Inc., San Diego, USA). A differentiation medium (Cyagen Bioscience, Inc., Guangzhou, China) was used to induce adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenesis. Oil red, alizarin red, and alcian blue stains were used to identify differentiated cells.

Muscle tissue was washed in 1× PBS, cleaned of any visible fat depositions and finely minced. Then, 2 g of the minced tissue was transferred to digestion buffer 1 (750 U ml−1 collagenase type 2 in 1× PBS) and incubated at 37 °C in a water bath for 90 min. The partially digested tissue was collected by centrifugation (650g, 5 min, 4 °C) and the pellet was resuspended in digestion buffer 2 (100 U ml−1 collagenase type 2, 2 U ml−1 dispase in PBS). After 30 min incubation at 37 °C in a water bath, the digestion was stopped by the addition of 2% FBS. Cells were filtered through a 100-μm and a 40-μm nylon strainer (BD Falcon), collected by centrifugation (650g, 4 °C, 3 min) and washed with 1× PBS, 2% FBS. Subsequently, a 20% Percoll gradient (15,000g, 4 °C, 20 min) was used for cell purification. The layer containing cells was collected, washed in PBS containing 2% FBS, and viable cells were counted by Trypan Blue exclusion using a haemocytometer. Nuclei were profiled using a Chromium Controller (10X Genomics) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Fibroblast cell lines were established from the ear skin of an elite camel; samples were obtained as previously described with minor modifications (Wani et al., 2010) . Briefly, tissues were washed three times with DPBS supplemented with 1% antibiotic-antimycotic. After that, samples were minced into small pieces with a surgical blade and digested at 38°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 for 2 h in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 0.1% collagenase type II (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The dispersed cells were washed with DPBS by centrifugation at 300 g for 5 min and filtered through a 40-μm nylon strainer (Falcon, Franklin, NJ, USA). The cell pellets were cultured at 38°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1% nonessential amino acids (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 0.1% β-mercaptoethanol (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The culture medium was changed every 2 days until confluency reached 80%, and then the cells were passaged using 0.25% trypsin-EDTA solution.

Cultured hWJSC monolayers were first disassociated using trypsin (TrypLE™ Express, Thermo Scientific) for 3–5 min at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 in air, then centrifuged and washed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and blocked with 10% normal goat serum (NGS) (Thermo Scientific) for 10 min at room temperature to prevent non-specific binding following manufacturer’s instruction. The cells were then incubated with mouse monoclonal primary antibodies for a series of CD markers viz., CD14, CD19, CD29, CD34, CD44, CD45, CD73, CD90, CD105, HLA-ABC, and HLA-DR (1:100) (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) for 30 min at 4 °C. This was followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor®488 (1:5000) goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Thermo Scientific) for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark [29 (link)]. The cells were finally washed in PBS (−), re-suspended in 10% NGS, and filtered using a 40-μm nylon strainer (BD) to remove any cell clumps and then analyzed using a CyAn™ ADP Analyzer (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA).

Splenic cells were isolated by mashing spleen through a 40 μm Nylon strainer (BD Biosciences). Red blood cells were removed using ACK lysis buffer (150 mM NH4Cl, 1 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM Na2EDTA). Single cell suspensions of splenic cells were resuspended in AutoMACS running buffer containing biotin-conjugated anti-mouse Lineage cocktail plus biotin-conjugated anti-mouse NK1.1 and F4/80, and incubated on ice for 20 min. After centrifuge the supernatant was discarded and the splenic cells resuspended in AutoMACS running buffer plus Streptavidin Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). Lineage-negative cells were purified using an AutoMACS Separator Pro system (Miltenyi Biotec) and stained with anti-mouse CD45 Microbeads (Milteny Biotec). Lineage-negative, CD45-positive cells were deemed to constitute the ILC subset. Purified innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) were stained with antibodies to CD45.2 (104; 0.5 μg/ml), Thy1.2 (30-H12; 2 μl for 1*106 cells), CD127 (A019D5; 5 μg/ml) antibody and FITC-conjugated streptavidin, and were acquired on a FACSFortessa instrument (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using the FlowJo cytometric analysis program (Tree Star).

After 1, 3, or 7 days of chondrogenic induction with TGFβ1 or the combination of TGFβ1 and BMP7, pellets were collected and washed with ice-cold PBS and fixed with 2% formaldehyde (Polysciences, Warrington, PA). Pellets were then dissociated using collagenase A and mechanical disruption (Roche Mannheim, Germany). Cells were passed through a 40-μm nylon strainer (BD Biosciences), washed with a buffer solution, and incubated with antibodies detecting TGFβR2, BMPR1B and BMPR2.

Epididymal adipose tissue was washed with 1 × phosphate buffer saline (Life Technologies Inc., Burlington, ON, Canada) and visible blood vessels were removed from the fat pads. The minced tissues were digested for 1 h at 37 °C with type II collagenase solution (1.2 mg ml−1; Sigma-Aldrich Canada Ltd) and 2% bovine serum albumin fraction V (Roche Applied Science, Laval, QC, Canada) in phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4) in an orbital shaking oven. Cell suspensions were centrifuged in polyethylene centrifuge tubes (Dow Corning Corporation, Midland, MI, USA) for 5 min at 250 × g and the floating layer composed of adipocytes was discarded. The pellet was resuspended in 5 ml erythrocyte lysis buffer (8.26 g NH4Cl, 1 g KHCO3 and 0.037 g EDTA in 1 liter water, pH 7.3; Sigma-Aldrich Canada Ltd) at room temperature for 5 min, followed by the addition of phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4) to stop the lysis reaction. Cells were initially filtered through 100-μm nylon strainer and, subsequently, a 40-μm nylon strainer (BD Canada, Mississauga, ON, Canada). Finally, cell suspensions were centrifuged at 350 × g for 5 min at 4 °C and the pellet was stored at −80 °C until RNA extraction.

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.
