After 72 h of dosing and culture, osteoblast climbing tablets were removed and set with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min. The samples were subjected to immunofluorescence staining, which was in line with the kit manufacturer’s instructions. The primary antibodies used were mouse anti-RANKL (Proteintech Company, NO 66610-1-Ig, 1:50), rabbit anti-OPG (Abcam Company, NO ab9986, 1:50), rabbit anti-LC3B (Abcam Company, NO #ab51520, 1:100), and mouse anti-Beclin1 (CST Company, NO #4122, 1:100). Diluted anti-rabbit IgG (Santa Cruz Company, NO sc-2004, 1:400) was used as the secondary antibody. After completion of the immunofluorescence reaction, 4′, 6-diamidino-2′-phenylindole (DAPI) was added drop-wise and incubated in the dark for 5 min, and the samples were stained for nuclei. Excess DAPI was washed four times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for about 5 min each. The film was sealed with a solution containing an anti-fluorescence quenching agent, and the collected images were observed under a fluorescence microscope.

Double immunofluorescent staining was performed using the following primary antibodies: mouse anti-NF-κB p65 (dilution ratio: 1:150; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), rabbit anti-CTSK (1:150; Abcam), rabbit anti-RANKL (1:150; Proteintech Group Inc., Rosemont, IL, USA), rabbit anti-OPG (1:150; Abcam), rabbit anti-OPN (1:200; Abcam), and rabbit anti-OCN (1:200; Abcam). The sections were first blocked using 5% bovine serum albumin and were then incubated with a specific primary antibody, followed by species-matched secondary antibodies (Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L Alexa Fluor 594 and Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L Alexa Fluor 488; Abcam), at a 1:200 dilution. All tissue sections were subjected to autofluorescence quenching (Vector TrueVIEW; Vector Laboratories, Inc.) and mounted with VECTASHIELD Vibrance Antifade Mounting Medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Inc.) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Fluorescent images were acquired using a Leica TCS-SP8 confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) within 48 h after mounting. The immunofluorescence expression of each sample was evaluated using the MFI; a.u.).

Protein samples were harvested, and the resulting lysates were run on 10% PAGE Gel (Tris‐Gly) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. The membranes were incubated with the antibodies at 4°C overnight. The antibodies used were as follows: rabbit anti‐RANKL (1:1000; Boster), rabbit anti‐OPG (1:1000; Abcam), and mouse anti‐glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (1:5000; Proteintech). Then, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated goat anti‐rabbit or goat anti‐mouse (Proteintech) secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature and exposed to HPR substrate ECL (Proteintech). The intensities of the bands were quantified using ImageJ.

8 mm in diameter CGO or MCGO scaffold were incubated with 120 ng of purified RANKL (R&D Systems) in 1 mL of PBS with 1 mM EDTA overnight at room temperature. After washing scaffolds, protein extracts were prepared by morselizing the scaffolds in 500 μL RIPA buffer (Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA). Lysates were then incubated with SureBeads Protein A Magnetic Beads (BioRad, Hercules, CA) with either rabbit anti-OPG (AbCam, Waltham, MA) or anti-RANKL (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) at 4 °C overnight. Beads were washed and protein was eluted from beads by resuspending in 40 μL of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample buffer and incubating at 70 °C for 10 minutes. The beads were then pelleted and the supernatant was loaded into SDS-PAGE gels for Western Blot analysis.

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.
