Cells grown to an optimal confluence of 70% were used for FACS analysis. Single cell suspension was prepared by dissociating the cells using 0.05% Trypsin and triturating in PFN (PBS + 5%FBS + 0.1%Sodium Azide). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PFN over ice for 1 hour. The fixed cells were incubated with two primary antibodies per experiment (CD29[Abcam, 1:100]/CD146[Abcam, 1:50 and CD44[Abcam, 1:50]/Stro1[R&D Systems, 1:50]) at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with fluorescent secondary antibodies over ice for 1 hour and analysed by flow-cytometer (Canto II, BD Biosciences). FlowJo software was used for gating and further analysis.

P4 MenSCs were cultured on coverslips (14 mm, NEST) at 5 × 104 cells/ml in 12-well plates. After overnight starvation, the medium was exchanged to 10% PRP or 10% FBS-DMEM/F12 incubated for 24 h. Then the coverslips were washed twice by PBS and fixed in 4% PFA, followed by protein block (SP-9001, ZSGB-BIO) for 30 min at 37 °C. Purified SUSD2 antibody (1:100, #327401, BioLegend), CD146 antibody (1:100, ab75769, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Vimentin antibody (1:100, D21H3, CST), cytokeratin 18 (CK18) antibody (1:100, ab181597, Abcam) diluted in PBS were immunostained overnight at 4 °C. Next day, all the coverslips were incubated with secondary antibodies (1:500, Cy3-labled goat anti-mouse IgG, FITC-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG, Cy3-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG, Beyotime, Beijing, China) at room temperature for 2 h. DAPI (1:20, Beyotime) was used to visualize nuclei. Images were observed and captured using Nikon ECLIPSE Ni (Nikon), the fluorescence was analyzed by DOI/Area using Image Pro-Plus 6 (Media Cybernetics).

After the removal of the culture medium, the third generation of passage cultured hPDLSCs were collected and washed with PBS. Next, the cells were soaked in PBS buffer containing 0.25% trypsin for 5 min to make a single cell suspension. Then, the cells were washed with PBS solution containing 1% bovine serum albumin, and the cell concentration was adjusted to 1 × 106 cells/mL, followed by incubation with monoclonal antibodies CD146 (Abcam, UK), CD90 (Abcam, UK), STRO-1 (RampD systems, USA) and CD45 (Abcam, UK) for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark. Again, cells were washed with PBS, centrifuged at 1000 g for 5 min and resuspended in PBS. Lastly, the background marker was determined using isotype control monoclonal antibody, and the positive rate (%) of cell surface antigen was analyzed by flow cytometry combined with special supporting 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.
