Cell lysates were prepared using 1X lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) and supplemented with phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (phosSTOP, Roche Life sciences, Indianapolis, IN). For immunoblot analysis serum-free conditioned medium was concentrated using 10 kDa cutoff filter (YM-3 Microcon, Millipore) to load 35 μg total protein/lane. Immunoblotting was conducted as described before (1 (link),3 (link)). For ELISA neat serum-free conditioned media or 4-fold diluted lysates were used. ELISAs used in the study include: ADAM12, thrombospondin-1, VEGF, MMP-9, TIMP-2 (R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Protein concentration of the lysates and conditioned medium was determined using the Bradford method (Biorad laboratories, Hercules, CA).

Protein levels of TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, MMP-2, MMP-9, IL-1β, TGFβ3, TGFβ2, thrombospondin-1 (R&D Systems), TIMP-3, VCAM-1 (Boster Biological Technology), TGFβ1 (IBL International), MIA (Roche), IL-8 (Invitrogen), and aggrecan (DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A.) in supernatants were measured on days 3 and 7 by commercially available ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. IL-6 was measured by flow cytometry using Diaclone DIAplex IL-6 kit (Gen-Probe), and glycosaminoglycans were measured by blyscan-sulphated glycosaminoglycan assay (Biocolor). ELISA data were normalized by subtracting the values of medium from the samples.

Age-related Changes in Circulating Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The peripheral blood samples were obtained from younger (18 -64 years old) and older (≥ 65 years old) healthy volunteers recruited for The Dunhill Medical Trust EPC study (DMT EPC study, NCT02980354). elsewhere (Rakkar et al. 2020) (link).
The quantities of nonhaematopoietic cells (CD45-) expressing markers for stemness (CD34), immaturity (CD133) and/or endothelial maturity (KDR) were detected in peripheral blood by flow cytometry in that fluorescein isothiocyanate (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), phycoeryhtrin-cyanine7-(BD Biosciences), allophycocyanin-(Miltenyi Biotech), and phycoeryhtrin-(R&D Systems) labelled antibodies were used. The changes in plasma total anti-oxidant capacity (Abcam) as well as TNF- (R&D Systems), SDF-1 (R&D Systems), G-CSF (R&D Systems), VEGF (R&D Systems), PDGF-BB (R&D Systems), endostatin (R&D Systems), angiostatin (Abcam), thrombospondin-1 (R&D Systems), and thrombospondin-2 (R&D Systems) levels were assessed using the specific ELISA kits as per the manufacturers' instructions.

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.
