Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The BD StemflowTM hMSC Analysis kit (BD Biosciences) was used to identify the immunophenotype. First generation cells were cultured in a culture dish (10×1×10 cm). When the cell density reached 90%, the cells were washed with PBS (Corning, Inc.) twice and digested by trypsinase and then a single cell suspension was prepared. The cells were then separated into sterile tubes. A mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-positive cocktail (CD90 FITC, CD105 PerCP-Cy5.5, CD73 APC, CD44) and MSC-negative cocktail (CD34, CD11b, CD19, CD45, HLA-DR) were added to the tubes in the dark at 4°C for 20 min. After the cells were identified by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences), PDLSCs were passaged to the third generation, and cells of this generation were used in the subsequent experiments.

To identify the cell phenotype of PDLSCs, BD StemflowTMhMSC Analysis Kit (BD Biosciences, California, USA) was implemented according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For multilineage differentiation assays, PDLSCs were cultivated in 6-well plates at 2 × 105 cells per well. At 80%–90% density, the corresponding differentiation medium was replaced to assess osteogenesis and adipogenesis. After 21 days, the cells were stained by Alizarin Red (Sigma‐Aldrich, Missouri, USA) to observe the mineralization. After 28 days, the adipogenesis was detected by Oil Red O (Sigma) staining.

Expanded MSCs were phenotypically tested for MSC markers. Briefly, a total of 0.25 × 10 5 cells were resuspended in 0.5 mL phosphate-buffered saline (Gibco, USA) and incubated with the antibodies of BD Stemflow TM hMSC Analysis Kit (BD Biosciences, USA) for 20 min at room temperature. The fluorescence intensity of the cells was evaluated by flow cytometry (BD FACSCanto II; BD Biosciences, USA).
Additionally, MSCs were tested for multilineage differentiation potential. For osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, cells were cultured in StemPro osteogenesis differentiation media and Stem-Pro adipogenesis differentiation media (ThermoFisher, USA), respectively, as per the manufacturer's recommendation. Following osteogenic induction, cultures were stained using Alizarin Red (Allied Signal, Germany), and following adipogenic differentiation, cultures were stained using Oil Red O (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) to assess extracellular deposits.

The immunophenotype of the MSCs was analyzed using flow cytometry. The cells were detached from the flask using trypsin, then centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 min, and resuspended in staining/wash buffer [phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 2% FBS)]. For staining, the BM-MSCs and HGF-eMSCs were washed with staining/wash buffer and incubated for 30 min in the dark at 4°C with Stemflow hMSC Analysis Kit (BD) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

hMSC from passages 2 and 3 were dissociated using TrypLETM Select and suspended at 1×107 cells/mL in PBS-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Immunophenotypic analysis was performed using Stemflow hMSC Analysis Kit (BD, catalog #562245, USA) following manufacturer instructions, see Table S2. Briefly, 100 µL of cell suspension was incubated for 30 min at room temperature with a mix of antibodies positive for hMSC (CD90 FITC, CD105 PerCP-Cy5.5, CD73 APC), a negative cocktail of antibodies (CD34 PE/CD11b PE/CD19 PE/CD45 PE/HLA-DR PE), as well as isotype positive and negative control cocktails. After incubation, cells were washed with PBS-EDTA supplemented with 1% FBS and 0.09% of sodium azide, centrifuged and suspended in PBS for flow cytometry analysis. Samples were acquired using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD, USA) and data analyzed with CellQuest Pro software (BD, USA).

Cells were stained for CD73, CD90 and CD105, which have been regarded as positive surface antigens in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) [29 (link),30 (link)]. In contrast, CD34 which is expressed in leukocytes, and CD45 which is expressed in T and B lymphocytes, have been regarded as negative surface antigens in MSCs [31 (link),32 (link)]. Amplified cells at passage 4 were identified using flow cytometry with a Stemflow™ hMSC Analysis Kit (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). 1 ​× ​106 ​cells of each cell type were detached using detachment solution (1 ​× ​PBS, 1% FBS). Wash cells and resuspend at a concentration of 1 ​× ​107 ​cells/ml with similar staining buffer, then stained with CD73, CD90, CD105, CD34, or CD45 antibodies in bovine serum albumin stain buffer. Incubate in the dark for 30 ​min, wash the cells twice and resuspend at 300–500 ​μl in Stain Buffer (1 ​× ​PBS, 1% FBS). The stained cells were then analyzed using a CytoFLEX flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Inc., USA), and analysis was performed using CytExpert (Beckman Coulter, Inc, USA).

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.
