(Selleckchem Inc., Houston, TX, U.S.A.). Inhibitors were used at 5 µM throughout all experiments. Adipocyte induction medium (AIM) was changed every 2 days and for 7 days. Previous published work from our group indicated day 7 as a time point on which adipogenic markers were up-regulated significantly in an enriched population of 70–80% of adipogenic populations [8 (link)].

To induce adipocytic differentiation, cells were initially grown in standard DMEM growth medium in 6-well plates at a density of 0.3 × 106 cells/ml.

DPSCs from human dental pulp tissue was purchased from Lonza (cat. no. PT-5025. Basel, Switzerland)) and identified by DPSC’s biomarkers. Cryopreserved human DPSCs were recovered from liquid nitrogen using an AccuVital cell recovery kit (AccuRef Scientific, Goshen, NY, USA) and cultured as previously reported. Single-cell suspensions (0.01 to 1 × 105/well) of dental pulp were seeded into 6-well plates (Costar, USA) with alpha modification of Eagle’s medium (Gibco, BRL, USA) supplemented with 20% FBS, 1% Pen-Strept, 10 nM dexamethasone, 50 μg/ml L-ascorbic acid and 10 mM β-glycerophosphate,10 nM calcitriol (Sigma, USA) for 14 d to induce osteogenic differentiation and then incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. For the induction of adipogenesis, alpha-minimum essential medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% FBS, 10% horse serum, 1% Pen-Strept, 100 nM dexamethasone, 0.45 mM isobutyl methyl xanthine, 3 μg/ml insulin (all purchased from Sigma, USA), and 1 μM rosiglitazone (BRL49653; Novo Nordisk, Denmark) was added to culture DPSCs for 14 d. For hypoxia treatment, DPSCs were cultured under 5% O2 in a hypoxia chamber (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, USA) for 24 h at 37°C. For TNF-α treatment, cells were treated with 20 ng/ml TNF-α for 24 h before collection. The addition of Taxifolin is associated with hypoxia and TNF-α treatment.

Cells at the fourth passage were cultured on 6-well plates. At 60–70 % confluency, osteogenic differentiation was induced using osteoinduction medium prepared according to the protocol of Vishnubalaji et al. [60 (link)], and composed of DMEM supplemented with 10 % FBS, 1 % Pen-Strept, 50 μg/ml L-ascorbic acid (Wako Chemicals GmbH, Germany), 10 mM glycerol phosphate disodium salt (β-glycerophosphate), 10 nM dexamethasone, and 10 nM calcitriol (1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) (Sigma, UK). Cells maintained in the regular culture medium served as controls. The resultant osteogenesis was evaluated after 14 days through cytochemical staining for ALP.
Adipogenic differentiation was also induced using standard adipogenic medium [60 (link)], composed of DMEM supplemented with 10 % FBS, 10 % horse serum, 1 % Pen-Strept, 100 nM dexamethasone, 0.45 mM isobutyl methyl xanthine, 3 μg/ml insulin (all purchased from Sigma, UK), and 1 μM rosiglitazone (BRL49653; Novo Nordisk, Denmark). The resultant differentiation was assessed at 14 days through the use of oil red O staining.

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.
