Cells were seeded on 24-well plates coated with fibronectin (1 μg/cm2) or collagen type I (5 μg/cm2) and cultured for 24 hours in DMEM containing 1% FBS. Cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 96% ethanol for 10 minutes at room temperature followed by staining with 0.1% crystal violet for 20 minutes at room temperature. After washing three times with distilled water, the cells were lysed with 1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and lysates were transferred to a 96-well plate. The absorbance was read at 595 nm. For inhibition experiments, cells were incubated with U0126 (20 µM; Sigma-Aldrich) or PF573228 (10 µM; Sigma-Aldrich). Data were normalized considering proliferation of wild-type cells as 100% on collagen and fibronectin.

The shRNA targeting the BTG2, miR-6875-3p mimic, inhibitor and the negative control were obtained from Ribobio (Guangzhou, China). Cells (5 × 105 cells/2 ml/well) were plated at 60% confluence in a six-well plate in DMEM without antibiotics. After 48 h, miR-6875-3p mimic, inhibitor or negative control oligonucleotide was transfected into cells with Lipofectamine 2000 at a final concentration of 50 nM according to the instructions of the manufacturer’s. After 4–6 h, the medium was replaced with fresh DMEM containing 10% FCS and the cells were cultured for further experiment. The transfection of shRNA was performed as described above.

1×105 BMSCs or 7×105 M210B4 cells/well were cultured overnight in 12-well plates (BD Falcon, Bedford, MA) in their respective media. The cells were treated with fresh medium supplemented with 100 μM of cobalt chloride (CoCl2) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 48 h, following which the medium was replaced with fresh medium without CoCl2 (CoCl2-BMSCs) and the cultures were incubated under normoxia (21% oxygen, which is the standard cell culture condition). In hypoxia treatments, the cells were either continuously cultured under 1% oxygen (hypoxic-BMSCs) or under normoxia after preincubation for 48 h under hypoxia (BMSCs-48 h-hypoxia). For the treatment of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor PF573228 (PF228; Sigma-Aldrich), overnight-cultured BMSCs (1×105/well of 12-well plate) were pretreated with 300 nM PF228 for 2 h, followed by the addition of 100 μM of CoCl2 for 48 h. Both compounds were removed before seeding the HSCs.
The cell viability in all cases was >98% as determined by Trypan Blue dye exclusion method.

As described previously, H9C2 cardiomyocytes were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) (Gibco Laboratories) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco Laboratories) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin in an atmosphere of 90% air and 10% CO2 at 37 °C (19 (link)). The experiment was performed with the control, H/R, low-dose (2.5 µM Art), medium-dose (5 µM Art), and high-dose (10 µM Art) groups. To explore the effect of the Art and FAK pathway inhibitor PF573228 on H/R injury, another experiment was performed with the control, H/R, H/R + PF573228 group, the H/R + PF573228 + Art (10 µM Art) group. Inhibitors that do not affect the morphology or viability of H9C2 cells were used. Hypoxia was established by culturing H9C2 cells for 4 hours at a constant temperature three-gas incubator with a mixture of 95% N2, 5% CO2, and 1% O2 at 37 °C. After that, the cells were reoxygenated in a normoxic chamber for 2 hours. A myocardial cell model (H9C2 cells) of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was established.
The FAK inhibitor PF573228 was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) and dissolved with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a final concentration of <0.1% per assay.

To study the role of FAK, ROCK, and YAP in the regulation of Runx2 as an osteogenic marker in hMSCs while exposed to high aspect ratio nanopillars, each of those factors was inhibited in separate dedicated experiments. The pre-culture, cell seeding, and the composition of the culture medium were kept identical to the procedures described in Section 2.2.1 during these experiments while the following inhibitors were added to the culture medium upon cell seeding and medium refreshing: 10 ​μM PF-573228 (FAK inhibitor, Sigma-Aldrich, Germany), 10 ​μM Y-27632 (ROCK inhibitor, Abcam, The Netherlands), and 10 ​μM Verteporfin (YAP inhibitor, Sigma-Aldrich, Germany).

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.
