After washing paraffin sections with PBS, they were incubated in hydrogen peroxidase for 10 min to minimize nonspecific background staining. To detect chondrogenic markers, the sections were incubated with anti-COL2A1, anti-AGGRECAN, and anti-COL10A1 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies at 4 °C for at least 12 h. The attachment of secondary antibodies and fluorescent protein-conjugated secondary antibodies was performed following previously described methods59 (link). Nuclei were stained with 4ʹ,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Sigma). An inverted fluorescence microscope (IX-71; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) was used to acquire images and expression levels were quantified using ImageJ.

Cell pellets were lysed and quantified as previously reported56 (link). The samples (10–30 μg of protein) were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (Sigma) and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Amersham Pharmacia, Escondido, CA, USA). Briefly, after blocking with 5% skim milk, membranes were incubated with primary anti-SOX9 (1:3000, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), anti-RUNX2, anti-P16 (1:3000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-COL2A1, anti-AGGRECAN, anti-OCT4, anti-MMP13, anti-COL1A1, anti-P21, anti-P53 (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-NANOG (1:1000, BD biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), anti-SOX2 (1:1000, Cell signaling Technology, Inc., Danver MA, USA), anti-HSP90 or anti-β-ACTIN (1:1,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) overnight at 4 °C. Then, membranes were incubated with secondary HRP-conjugated antibodies (1:5000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 1 h at room temperature.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LPS (Escherichia coli 055: B5) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). HMW-HA (0.8–1.5 × 106 Da, 1.8 × 106 Da) was obtain from Meilunbio (Dalian, China). CCK-8 and One Step TUNEL Apoptosis Assay Kit were purchased from Beyotime (Shanghai, China). DAPI solution and FITC conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H + L) was obtained from Servicebio (Wuhan, China). All primary antibodies used in this study were from Proteintech Group (Chicago, IL, USA) except the anti-β-actin (Medical Discovery Leader (MDL) Biotechnology, Beijing, China), anti-IL-1β (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and anti-COL2A1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA). Bafilomycin A1 (Baf-A1) was purchased from Selleck (Houston, TX, USA). The reagents used for synthesis of o-HA derivatives were of analytical grade.

Histological and Immunohistochemical Assessment of Joint Development

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After sampling for genotyping, the limbs were isolated and immediately fixed in 4% buffered paraformaldehyde for 24 h, decalcified in 14% EDTA (pH 7.4) for 3 days then embedded in paraffin; 6 mm sagittal joint sections were processed for H&E staining.
Immunostaining was performed using a standard protocol as previously described 25 . Primary antibodies were: anti-MINK1 (NO.NBP1-22990, Novus Biologicals), anti-COL2A1 (NO.sc-52658, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.), anti-Aggrecan Neoepitope (NO.NBP100-74350, Novus Biologicals), anti-pSMAD2 (NO.3108, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-osterix (NO.ab22552, Abcam), antiosteocalcin (NO.AB10911, Millipore), anti-VEGF (NO.ab46154, Abcam), anti-MMP13 (NO. ab39012, Abcam), anti-ADAMTS-5 (NO. ab41037, Abcam), anti-COLX (NO.ab58632, Abcam) and anti-nestin (NO.MAB353, Millipore). Stained specimens were photographed digitally under confocal microscopy (BX61W1-FV1000; Olympus) or digital slide scanners (Pannormic MIDI; 3DHISTECH). Mouse IgG or rabbit IgG were used for negative controls when performing immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence staining (Supplementary Fig. S7).

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.
