In vitro osteoclast differentiation was performed as previously described46 (link). Briefly, nonadherent bone marrow cells were cultured in α-MEM (Wako) with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldorich) containing 4000 units of Leukoprol (M-CSF, JCR Pharmaceuticals) for 2 days to obtain BMMs. Subsequently, the BMMs were cultured for 3 days in the presence of 4000 units of Leukoprol and 50 ng ml−1 of RANKL (R&D systems) with 10% FBS or 10% FBS in the presence or absence of 2% mouse serum obtained from control or MPTP-injected mice. RANKL and M-CSF were used at those concentrations for all experiments, unless otherwise noted. Differentiation into osteoclasts was evaluated by counting TRAP-positive multinucleated cells (3 or more nuclei).

Induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived human mesenchymal stem cells were provided by Dr. Fei Liu (Texas A&M College of Medicine) and prepared as previously described.24 Cells were seeded at 500 cells per cm2 on tissue culture polystyrene and expanded in complete culture medium (CCM) containing α‐minimum essential media (Invitrogen), 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS, R&D Systems, Atlanta Biologicals), 4 mM L‐glutamine, and 100 U/mL penicillin and streptomycin changed every 2 to 3 days. Upon reaching 70% confluence (about 15 000 cells per cm2, six population doublings), cells were exposed to 0.25% trypsin, 0.1% EDTA (Corning) at 37°C for 5 minutes. After deactivating trypsin with CCM, cells were collected by centrifugation at 500g for 5 minutes. One cycle of seeding and recovery was defined as a single expansion passage and ihMSCs from passage 3 to 6 were used for experiments.

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.
