Osteoblast Differentiation of hBMSC/mBMSC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hBMSC or mBMSC were cultured to reach confluence and the cells were then induced to osteoblast differentiation in osteogenic induction medium (OIM) containing standard growth medium supplemented with 10 nM dexamethasone, 0.2 mM L-ascorbic acid, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, and 10 mM 1.25-vitamin-D3 (Sigma). Differentiation induction medium was changed every three days, the induction of differentiation lasted for 7-14 days according to the requirements for different measurements.

CD4+ T Cell Proliferation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
About 2 × 105 CD4+ T cells were suspended in 96-well plates (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) with 200 µL of RPMI, 50 U/mL of IL-2, penicillin, and streptomoycin. The CD4+ T cells were stimulated with 1.25 µL of anti-CD3/CD28 (Invitrogen). After 3 days of incubation, 10, 50, and 100 nM of 1,25 vitamin D3 (Sigma–Aldrich) was added to the wells. On the sixth day, 0.25 µCi of thymidine (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) was added to each well. Proliferation was measured on day 7 through Beckman LS 6500 Scintillation Counter (Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA).

Immortalized Bone Marrow-Derived MSC Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hMSC-TERT is a cell line immortalized by overexpressing the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) in bone marrow-derived hMSCs 26 (link); these cells exhibit all the characteristics of a primary bone marrow-derived MSC. hMSC-TERT-GFP is a reporter cell line generated by cotransduction with EGFP 27 (link). Cells were cultured in growth medium (Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (PS)) at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Osteoblastogenesis was induced with osteoinduction media, which contained growth media supplemented with 0.01 μM dexamethasone (Sigma), 0.2 mM l-ascorbic acid (Sigma), 10 mM β-glycerophosphate (Sigma) and 10 mM 1.25-vitamin D3 (Sigma). Differentiation media was made fresh and changed every 2-3 days.

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.
