Mice were sacrificed on PSD 3, 7, and 10. Thick (90 μm) longitudinal tibia frozen sections were prepared as described previously (Kusumbe et al., 2015 (link)). In brief, each tibia was stripped of soft tissues and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4°C for 4 h, decalcified in 0.5 M EDTA at 4°C for 48 h, cryoprotected at 4°C for 48 h, and cryoembedded. Cryosections were prepared using a cryostat (Leica 3050S) with a thickness of 80 μm and stored at −80°C.
For immunostaining, the tibia sections were hydrated, permeabilized, blocked, and incubated with primary antibodies against endomucin (sc-65495, 1:100, Santa Cruz), osterix (ab22552, 1:200, Abcam), paired related homeobox 1 (PRRX1) (ab211292, 1:200, Abcam), KI67 (ab15580, 1:200, Abcam), and F4/80 (ab6640, 1:200, Abcam) overnight. Next day, the sections were incubated with anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 (A32790, 1:300, Invitrogen) secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. Sections were washed with PBS and mounted with DAPI FluoroMount-G (0100-20, SouthernBiotech) and then sealed with coverslips.

To quantify the formation of focal adhesions, the cells were preincubated in culture medium containing 10 mM GlcNAc and HAse-treated control cells were created as described above. The cells were seeded on 8-well ibidiTreat polystyrene chamber slides in densities of 5000 and 10,000 cells/cm2. The slides were used uncoated as well as coated with 5 µg/cm2 Col-I (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) overnight at 4 °C. 20, 40 and 90 min after seeding, the cells were washed two times with DPBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in DPBS. Cells seeded to the 8-well slides were stained like for confocal microscopy as mentioned above, only including an additional permeabilization step after fixation with 300 µL 0.1% Triton X100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in DPBS per well. As primary antibody, a rabbit anti-Vinculin (1:250, ab129002, Abcam) and as secondary antibody a donkey anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 400 conjugate (4 µg/mL, A32790, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used. The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and the slides were covered with mounting medium (Ibidi). The experiment was performed twice. Per cell line, treatment and time point between 28 and 39 cells were imaged with an AxioObserver Z1 (Carl Zeiss) and the number of focal adhesions was counted using the FIJI software.

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.
