Example 13
Adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes were generated from MSCs. For adipogenic lineage differentiation, MSCs between passages 3-4 were plated on 6-well plates with MesenCult-ACF Basal Medium (Stem Cell Technologies, Cat. #05449) at 4-5×105 cells per well. Differentiation was performed using the MesenCult Adipogenic Differentiation Kit (Stem Cell Technologies, Cat. #05412) according to manufacturer's protocol. Media changes were conducted every 3-4 days until day 13. For osteogenic lineage differentiation, MSCs between passages 3-4 were plated on a 6-well plate with MesenCult-ACF Basal Medium (Stem Cell Technologies) at 3-4×104 cells per well. Differentiation was performed using the MesenCult Osteogenic Differentiation medium (Stem Cell Technologies, Cat. #05465) according to manufacturer's protocol. Medium changes were conducted every 3-4 days until day 13. For 3D pellet chondrogenic differentiation, MSCs were first released from T25 flasks using ACF Enzymatic Dissociation/Inhibition Solutions (Stem Cell Technologies, Cat. #05426) and collected in polypropylene tubes at 2.5-3×106 cells per tube with MesenCult-ACF Chondrogenic Differentiation Medium (Stem Cell Technologies, Cat. #05455) according to manufacturer's protocol. Medium changes were conducted every 3-4 days until day 13.
