Standard Western blotting was conducted for protein expression assays from MG-63 cells with miR-373 mimic, inhibitor, and miR-control. Briefly, proteins were isolated with RIPA lysis buffer containing 1 mg of protease inhibitors (Applygen Technologies Inc., Beijing, P.R. China) after 2 days of transfection. The protein content was quantified using Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) Protein Assay Kit (CoWin Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, P.R. China). The following primary antibodies p53 (ab1101), p21 (ab109520), p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (Puma; ab9643), B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X (Bax; ab32503), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI; ab66705), PI3K (ab86714), AKT (ab8805), Rac1; ab33186), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK; ab124956), and the internal control glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Subsequently, secondary antibodies were marked by horseradish peroxidase for 2 h at 37°C. Samples were then electrotransferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microporous membrane (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA).

Frozen sections (6 μm thick) were cut from a cryostat and transferred onto gelatin-coated glass slides. The sections were fixed in sucrose-cacodylate buffer (0.1 mol/L sodium cacodylate, 0.1 mol/L sucrose, and 0.25% glutaraldehyde) for 15 minutes and permeabilised with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS. The sections were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin in PBS at room temperature for 30 minutes. To detect the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the sections were incubated with primary antibodies against PAI-1 (ab66705) (1 : 500, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) followed by goat polyclonal antirabbit FITC-labelled (ab6717) secondary IgG antibodies (1 : 1000, Abcam).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary chondrocytes from 5 day old mice were isolated according to published protocol18 (link). Briefly, 5 day old C57bl/6 PER2:Luc mice were sacrificed by decapitation. Knee, hip and shoulder joints were dissected, and any soft tissue removed. Joint cartilage subjected to pre-digestion with collagenase D 3 mg/mL in DMEM two times for 30 min at 37°C with intermittent vortex to remove soft tissue leftovers. Subsequently, the cartilage was diced using a scalpel and digested overnight at 37°C. Cells were dispersed by pipetting and passed through 70μM cell strainer. Cell suspension was then centrifuged and the pellet was re-suspended in DMEM/F12 with 10% FBS and plated in T75 flasks. Cells were passaged only once before performing experiments.
Western blotting was performed according to standard procedures. Primary antibodies for CTGF (Abcam ab6992), PAI-1 (Abcam ab66705), MATN1 (Abcam ab106384) and alpha tubulin (Sigma T9026) were used in 1:2000 dilution.

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.
