Overnight cultures were subcultured into 200 ml LB and induced as above. Cultures were then pelleted via centrifugation (Beckman Coulter Avanti J‐26 XPI centrifuge; 9600g, 10 min, 4°C) before resuspension in 10 ml of sonication buffer (100 mM NaCO3 pH 7.0) and disrupted by sonication (Branson B15). Cellular debris was then collected and removed via centrifugation (Thermo Scientific Labofuge 400 R centrifuge; 3500g, 10 min, 4°C) prior to whole membrane (WM) collection by ultracentrifugation (Beckman Coulter Optima L‐100 XP ultracentrifuge; 250,000g, 45 min, 4°C).

The rMSCs were obtained from a male neonatal New Zealand white rabbit (0.75 kg, 1 month old). Rabbits were allowed free access to food and water at 25°C and 50–60% humidity with a 12 h light/dark cycle. The rabbit was purchased from Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). The present study was carried out in strict accordance with the Guidelines on the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals issued by the Chinese Council on Animal Research and the Guidelines of Animal Care. Bone marrow (32 ml) was aspirated from the iliac crest of the rabbit following sacrifice. The bone marrow was flushed with low glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) using a 1-ml syringe. The bone marrow-PBS mixture (8 ml) was centrifuged for 5 min at 1,200 × g and 20°C (Labofuge 400R; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and the supernatant was removed. Pellets were washed with PBS (8 ml) and centrifuged at 1,200 × g again. The resultant cells were plated in a culture dish, and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 4 days. The animal protocol was approved by the Inner Mongolia Medical University Experimental Animal Management Committee (Inner Mongolia, China).

Based on a previous study, the LD50 of aqueous extracts of V. nigrum L. and RPA after intragastric administration were 2.566 g/kg and 160 g/kg, respectively [11 ]. In this study, the dose of V. nigrum L. was fixed at 2.566 g/kg, and the RPA dose varied from 0.2566 to 25.66 g/kg.
The doses of V. nigrum L. and RPA in each of 12 groups are shown in Table 1. Each group was extracted using deionized water (700 mL) for 1 h during microboiling under reflux. The extracts were filtered through three layers of gauze, and the drug extraction was then repeated. The filtrates were combined and were then concentrated to 100 mL at 60−70°C under reduced pressure. Samples were then shaken, calibrated, and stored at 4°C.
All decoctions were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min using a Heraeus Labofuge 400R refrigerated centrifuge (Thermo Scientific, USA). The supernatants were then filtered through a 0.22 μM aqueous microporous membrane and were stored at 4°C for UPLC-TOF-MS analysis. Groups were prepared in triplicate [12 , 13 (link)].

Quantification of growth factors in PRF supernatants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The supernatants that were collected from the various PRF-based matrices at different cultivation time points were used for the quantification of different growth factors by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All collected supernatants were simultaneously centrifuged (1500 rpm; 5 min.) using a centrifuge (Thermo fisher scientific, Heraeus® Labofuge® 400 R) to exclude possible residue that could affect the photometrical measurement. Before TGF-β1 and EGF ELISA preparation, the supernatants were diluted 1:4 with the same cell culture RPMI medium used for PRF-matrices cultivation. The protein concentrations of human VEGF, TGF-β1 and EGF were determined by the Dou Set ELISA kit (Human VEGF DY293B, R&D Systems, detection range: 2000–31.3 pg/ml), HumanDou Set ELISA kit (Human TGF-β1 DY240, R&D Systems, detection range: 2000–31.3 pg/ml) and the Duo Set DuoSet ELISA kit (human EGF DY236, R&D Systems, detection range: 3.91–250 pg/mL) according to the manufacturer´s instructions. Measurements were conducted using a microplate reader (Infinite® M200, Tecan, Grödig, Austria) set to 450 nm and subtracted at 570 nm from the 450 nm measurements.

Exosome Isolation from Blood Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood plasma exosomes were isolated using a combination of ultrafiltration and ultracentrifugation. Blood samples (18 ml) were collected in K3EDTA spray-coated vacutainers. The blood cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 1,200 g (bucket rotor, Labofuge 400R, Thermo Fisher) for 20 min at 4°C. To remove the cell debris, plasma samples were centrifuged at 17,000 g (angular rotor, centrifuge 5415R, Eppendorf) for 20 min at 4°C. To remove vesicles larger than 100 nm, the supernatant was diluted 5-fold with PBS (10 mM phosphate buffer, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5) and filtered through 100 nm pore-size filter (Minisart high flow, 16553-K, Sartorius). For the exosome precipitation, the filtrate was centrifuged at 100,000 g (bucket rotor, Optima XPN 80, Beckman Coulter, USA) for 90 min at 4°C, the pellet was resuspended in 10 ml PBS, and re-centrifuged under the same conditions. The isolated exosomes were resuspended in 200 μl of PBS, aliquoted, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C.

Plasma TAG and glucose concentrations were determined in all samples. Plasma concentrations of TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were quantified from fasted samples on day 1 and day 2. Plasma insulin and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were determined on day 1 in the fasted state and on day 2 at 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 4, 4.5, 6, and 8 h. Concentrations of CRP and IL-6 were measured on day 1 in the fasted state and on day 2 at 0, 2, 5, and 8 h. Plasma SOD3 and PRDX-4 concentrations were measured on day 1 in the fasted state and on day 2 at 0, 2, 4, and 8 h.
Participants rested in a semisupine position during blood sampling. Venous blood samples were drawn into precooled 9 mL EDTA Monovette tubes (Sarstedt, Leicester, UK) and immediately centrifuged at 1165g for 10 min at 4°C (Labofuge 400R; Thermo Scientific, Langenselbold, Germany). The plasma supernatant was dispensed into Cryovials and stored at −80°C for later analysis.

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.
