OCCM-30 cells were seeded on glass coverslips (Thermanox) and treated as described above. After one and two days, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) for 10 min and permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 (Merck) in PBS. Blocking of non-specific binding was performed with 5% bovine serum albumin faction V (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA) in 1× PBS for 45 min at room temperature. Primary antibodies were incubated for 1,5 h at room temperature or overnight at 4 °C: rabbit polyconal anti-collagen I antibody (1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit polyclonal anti-osteoblast specific factor 2 antibody (1:1000; BioVendor, Brno, Czech Republic), rabbit anti-osteopontin (1:200; Abcam), and rabbit anti-Ki67 antibody (1:200; Abcam). Peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit EnVision® (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) were used as secondary antibodies for 30 min at room temperature and visualized with diaminobenzidine (DAB). OCCM-30 cells were counterstained with hemalaunum (Merck). Semi-quantitative analysis of stained cells was performed using ImageJ Fiji (ImageJ 2.1.0/1.53c, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) as described in the literature [79 (link)]. In each case, 3 sections of 3 independent experiments were randomly selected for measurement.

Immunofluorescent Characterization of BMSC-Seeded Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At day 14 and day 28, scaffold samples seeded with BMSCs were collected and prepared for immunofluorescent staining and microscopy. Primary antibodies included rabbit anti-Collagen 1 (dilution 1:500), rabbit anti-osteopontin (dilution 1:500) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA). Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution pH 6.9 for 20 min at room temperature, followed by three PBS rinses. Samples were permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min at room temperature. Following PBS rinses, samples were blocked using 5% normal goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. In separate experiments, primary antibodies of the aforementioned protein markers were diluted appropriately in blocking solution and samples were allowed to incubate overnight at 4 °C. Post PBS rinses, fluorescent-labeled secondary antibody (antirabbit IgG; Abcam, Cambridge, MA) were applied for 1 h at room temperature in the dark. Following incubation, the spiral structures were viewed using a Zeiss LSM 510 Meta confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

Laboratory chemicals and reagents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich unless otherwise noted. Tissue culture plastic ware was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Cell culture media and reagents were purchased from Gibco. Human MSCs and differentiation media were purchased from Lonza. Rabbit anti-Runx2 was purchased from abcam (ab23981) Technologies, rabbit anti-Osteopontin was purchased from abcam (ab8448), mouse anti-β3 tubulin was purchased from Sigma (T8660), and chicken anti-MAP2 was purchased from abcam (ab5392). Tetramethylrhodamine-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody, Alexa488-phalloidin, Alexa647-conjugated anti-mouse IgG, Alexa647-conjugated anti-chicken IgG, and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) were purchased from Invitrogen. Glass coverslips (18-mm circular) for surface preparation were purchased from Fisher Scientific.

Equal amounts (20 µg/sample) of protein extract obtained from BM cells of mutants and WT littermates were run on 10% to 12% SDS-PAGE followed by blotting onto polyvinyl difluoride membranes. Blots were probed with primary antibodies specific to rabbit-anti-polyclonal SDF-1 (cat.#sc-28876, 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit-anti-osteopontin (cat.#ab8448; Abcam), rabbit-anti-runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) (cat.#BS2831; Bioworld Technology, USA), rabbit-anti-osterix (cat.#ab94744; Abcam), or mouse-anti-monoclonal β-actin (cat.#sc-81178, 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at 4°C. Membranes were washed and exposed to horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit-anti IgG or mouse-anti Ig. Immunoreactive bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) before exposure to X-ray film (Eastman Kodak, USA). To evaluate the level of SDF-1 in BM supernatants or cultured BM cells, ELISA was performed using an SDF-1 mouse ELISA kit (Abcam) following the manufacturers’ instructions. The levels of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-6, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in BM supernatants of mutants and WT littermates were measured using Multi-Analyte ELISArray Kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen Sciences, Germany).

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.
