Osteogenic Differentiation of BMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BMSCs were seeded at a density of 50 cells/cm2 and cultured until they reached 70% confluency. The CCM was then changed to OM (fresh complete medium with 15% FBS) supplemented with 50 µg/ml ascorbic acid (Sigma Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), 10 mM β-glycerol phosphate disodium salt (Sigma Aldrich; Merck KGaA), and 100 nM dexamethasone (Sigma Aldrich; Merck KGaA). Cells cultured in osteogenic medium only comprised the OM group; while in the curcumin group (CR group), 15 µM curcumin was added to the OM. This concentration was selected based on previous studies that used curcumin in cell culture to induce osteogenic differentiation with minimal cytotoxicity (53 (link),78 (link),79 (link)). curcumin was prepared according to the method previously described by Gu et al (53 (link)). Briefly, curcumin (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and stored at −20°C. In the ATRA group, 1 µM ATRA (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) was added to the OM. This concentration has repeatedly been used to study the effects of ATRA on in vitro osteogenic differentiation; since the normal physiological level of ATRA is ≤0.01 µM and the effective pharmacological concentration is >0.1 µM, the 1 µM concentration was selected to induce osteogenic differentiation (27 (link),80 (link)–82 (link)).

The cell concentration was diluted to 3 × 104 cells/ml and seeded in 96-well plates. On the next day, the concentration of dissolved curcumin (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was diluted to 80 μM, 40 μM, 20 μM, and 10 μM, respectively. The medium of the 96-well plate was replaced to the fresh medium containing the above drug concentrations. Another negative control (NC) group was set up. The 96-well plates were placed in a CO2 incubator for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. The cells were then added with 5 mg/ml MTT solution (Solarbio, Beijing, China) for 4 h and then dissolved in DMSO to detect the A490 value.

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.
