Cells were seeded at a density of 3,100/cm2 and left to attach overnight before being stimulated with CSE and osteogenic induction medium (Lonza). After 21 d in culture, cells were stained with Alizarin red S (Sigma-Aldrich) to visualize and quantify calcium deposition. Briefly, the cells were fixed with formalin, rinsed with deionized water, and stained with 0.5% Alizarin red S solution. The cells were rinsed with deionized water and imaged. The quantification of the staining was carried out following the method of44 (link) and the absorbance was read at 530 nm.

Osteogenic differentiation of the PαS cells was performed using Osteogenic Induction Medium (Lonza) and supplements from the Osteogenic SingleQuots Kit (Lonza), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, PαS cells were seeded at 30,000/well in maintenance medium and allowed to attach. Next, the medium was changed to the Osteogenic Induction Medium in the presence or absence of OSM. Alizarin Red S staining was used to evaluate osteoblastic differentiation by detecting mineralized nodules. Alizarin Red S (Sigma) was dissolved in distilled water, and the pH was adjusted to pH 6.38 by the addition of 0.25% ammonium hydroxide. Cultured cells were washed with PBS and fixed in 95% ethanol for 10 min at room temperature. After washing with distilled water, the cells were incubated in Alizarin Red S solution for 10 min at room temperature. The cells were then gently washed with distilled water, 95% and 100% ethanol.

The hMSCs were purchased from Lonza (Walkersville, MD). After thawing, they were added to pre-warmed mesenchymal stem cell growth medium (MSCGM™), including mesenchymal stem cell basal medium supplemented with l-glutamine, gentamicin, and amphotericin provided by Lonza and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Upon 90 % confluency, trypsin/EDTA solution was used to detach cells for seeding.
Prior to seeding, the disks were autoclaved at 121 °C for 1 h. The samples were placed in 24-well plates, MSCGM™ was added to wet the samples, and the plates were incubated for 45 min. The cells were aspirated in media and seeded directly onto the samples (12,000 cells/sample), then incubated for 15 min to facilitate cell attachment. MSCGM™ was then added at 1 mL per well, and cultures were kept at 37 °C for the rest of the study. On day 3, the MSCGM™ was substituted with osteogenic induction medium, purchased from Lonza as a kit. The medium kit provided hMSC differentiation basal medium, dexamethasone, L-glutamine, ascorbate, β-glycerophosphate, Mesenchymal Cell Growth Supplement (MCGS™), and penicillin/streptomycin. This differentiation media was changed every 2-3 days.

Example 3

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were cultured as instructed by the vendor. After cells were washed with PBS and trypsinized for 3-5 minutes, they were centrifuged in serum containing medium and followed with gentle resuspending in serum-free medium. The cells were then seeded onto transparent glass substrates and then incubated at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 overnight. Adipogenic differentiation was induced by adipogenic induction medium and kept by induction/maintenance cycles as described in the Lonza protocol. Osteogenic differentiation was induced by osteogenic induction medium provided by Lonza.

Osteogenic Differentiation of MSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MSCs seeded in 2D or 3D substrates at a density of 8 × 104 cells/well were cultured for 3 days in growth medium or 15 days in osteogenic induction medium (Lonza) consisting of MSC basal medium and the Single Quots© osteogenic supplements containing FBS, l-glutamine, penicillin/streptomycin, dexamethasone, ascorbate and β-glycerophosphate. To prevent nutrient exhaustion, osteogenic induction medium was partially replaced every 3 days with an equal volume of fresh medium. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was assayed in cell layers by determining the release of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenylphosphate (Sigma) at 37 °C and a pH of 10.5. The data were normalized to the total protein amounts in cell layers determined by the Bio-Rad protein assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA), based on the Bradford dye-binding method, using BSA as standard.

Cultured ACL- and BM-MSCs at passage 3 were harvested using trypsin–EDTA (Gibco), transferred to a 24-well plate and grown overnight in culture medium. The cell numbers used were as follows: 2.0 × 104 cells (for adipogenesis) and 1.5 × 104 cells (for osteogenesis). For adipogenic differentiation, adherent cells were cultured in adipogenic induction and maintenance medium (Lonza), which was changed every 3–4 days. After 14 days, Oil red O staining (Muto Pure Chemicals) was used to confirm the differentiation of the cells into adipocytes. For osteogenic differentiation, adherent cells were cultured in osteogenic induction medium (Lonza), which was changed every 3–4 days. After 14 days, the differentiation of the cells into osteoblasts was assessed by Alizarin Red staining (Millipore). For chondrogenic differentiation, 2.0 × 105 cells were transferred to a 1.5 mL tube and cultured in chondrogenic induction medium (Lonza) containing 10 ng/mL TGF-β3 (Lonza) and 500 ng/mL BMP-6 (R&D Systems), which was changed every 3–4 days.

As a control of MSC characteristics, osteogenic differentiation was induced by seeding MSCs at a density of 3100 cells/cm2 and by culturing them for 28 days in an osteogenic induction medium (Lonza, USA). After 28 days, the samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then embedded in paraffin before being stained with alizarin red. To induce adipocyte differentiation, 21,000 MSCs/cm2 were seeded onto a 24-well plate. When 100% confluence was reached, 3 cycles of induction/maintenance were performed. One cycle of induction/maintenance consisted in 3 day-culture in induction medium (Lonza, USA), followed by 1 to 3 days of culture in maintenance medium (Lonza). After 3 cycles of induction/maintenance, the cells were cultured for 7 days in complete maintenance medium (Lonza, USA) before being stained with oil red.

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.
