Isolation of primary mHSC was performed via pronase–collagenase perfusion followed by density gradient centrifugation in 13.2% Nycodenz (Axis-Shield PoC, Oslo, Norway) [33 (link)]. Purity of preparation was assessed by confirmation of vitamin A autofluorescence.
Isolated HSCs were allowed to attach for 2 h and were then stimulated with bile salts CDCA, GCDCA, TCDCA, and UDCA (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) for the time periods indicated, in the absence or presence of AG1478 (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) and PD98059 (Cayman, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). To quantify total DNA as a surrogate of cell number, HSCs were incubated with PicoGreen® (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and fluorescence signals were detected with a CytoFluor 4000 system (PerSeptive Biosystems, Framingham, MA, USA). Proliferation of HSC was quantified using a BrdU-assay kit (Roche, Penzberg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To quantify total cell count, HSCs, seeded in Lab-Tek II Chamber Slides (Nunc, Rochester, NY, USA), were mounted on cover slides with Vectashield mounting medium including DAPI (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA). Slides were scanned with a Pannoramic Midi Slide Scanner (3DHistech, Budapest, Hungary) and nucles count was performed with ImageJ2 software on the complete slide (0.7 cm2).

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.
