Additional Mesenchymal stem cells from the subjects were grown in T-75 cm2 flasks at a density of (1.0–2.5 × 103) cells/cm2 in Advanced MEM* with 5 % PLTmax (Mill Creek Life Sciences, Rochester, MN, USA) and 2 mM L-glutamine (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in a 37 °C and 5 % CO2 incubator for 3–4 days. When cells were 60–80 % confluent, they were passaged using TrypLE (Trypsin-like Enzyme, Invitrogen) 37 (link). Cell count was quantified with a Countess hemocytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., NY, USA). Aliquots of the conditioned media were collected before harvesting the cells and stored at −80 °C until they were assayed.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and Inter-Cellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) according to manufacturer protocols as previously described 28 (link).

Isolation of Primary Human Alveolar Osteoblasts

Primary human alveolar osteoblasts were obtained from drilling bone particles that were generated during dental implant surgery of one patient, after the informed consent form was received and signed. Briefly, harvested alveolar bone was gathered in phosphate-buffered saline with 50 mg/mL gentamicin and 2.5 mg/mL amphotericin B (both from Sigma-Aldrich Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA) by using dental drills. The bone tissue was cultured as explants in osteoblast culture medium (ObM) enriched with growth supplements (ScienCell Research Laboratories Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA), 5% foetal bovine serum (FBS) (v/v) (Biochrom AG, Leonorenstr, Berlin, Germany), 50 mg/mL gentamicin, and 2.5 mg/mL amphotericin B. Culture medium was changed 2 times a week. Cells leaving the explants were detached with animal origin-free trypsin-like enzyme (Gibco-Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) when they covered the culture surface entirely (Figure 2A). Trypan blue dye exclusion (Sigma-Aldrich) was used for cell viability assessment. From the first subculture onwards, primary osteoblasts were maintained in ObM supplemented with 15% FBS (v/v) and 50 mg/mL gentamicin (hereafter, ObGM, osteoblast growth culture medium). Cells between the 4th and 6th passages were used in the experiments.

Isolation and Expansion of Subcutaneous Adipose-Derived Cells

A subcutaneous fat biopsy (approximately 2–4 g) was obtained under sterile conditions from RVD patients in an outpatient surgical suite or during the surgical nephrectomy from kidney donors. Cells were expanded ex vivo as follows. The fat tissues were minced with surgical scalpels and incubated in 2 % collagenase type H (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) for 90 min at 37 °C. Digested tissue was centrifuged at 400 g for 5 min with the pellet washed in PBS, passed through a 70-μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), and incubated in red blood cell lysis buffer (154 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM EDTA). Cells were grown in T-75 cm2 flasks at a concentration of 1.0–2.5 × 103 cells/cm2 in Advanced MEM with 5 % PLTmax (Mill Creek Life Sciences, Rochester, MN, USA) and 2 mM L-glutamine (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in a 37 °C 5 % CO2 incubator for 3–4 days. When cells were 60–80 % confluent, they were passaged using TrypLE (Trypsin-like Enzyme, Invitrogen) [15 (link)]. Cell yield was quantified with a Countess hemocytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., NY, USA).

Isolation and Characterization of Adipocyte Progenitors

Adipocyte progenitors, also termed adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells or preadipocytes, were harvested from abdominal subcutaneous fat samples as previously described [48 (link),49 (link)]. Adipose biopsies were minced and digested in 2% collagenase type I at 37 °C for 45 min (Gibco, Waltham, MA), filtered through a 100 μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences, San José, CA) to remove remaining tissue pieces, and centrifuged to pellet cells. Cells were cultured in advanced minimum-essential-medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) supplemented with 5% platelet lysate (PLTMax, Mill Creek Life Sciences, Rochester, MN) and 2 mM l-glutamine (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in a 37 °C/5% CO2 incubator for 3–4 days. When 60–80% confluent, cells were passaged using TrypLE (Trypsin-like Enzyme, Invitrogen, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA). The third passage cells were collected and kept in Gibco Cell Culture Freezing Medium (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) at −80 °C. Change in adipocyte progenitor numbers over time was measured in passage 3–4 cultures using a tetrazolium compound (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-5-[3-carboxymethoxyphenyl]-2-[4-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt; MTS) assay (CellTiter 96 Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay; Promega, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

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.
