The samples were fixed with 4 % PFD, decalcified 15 % EDTA solution, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin for sectioning (4.5 μm). The sections (transverse slice direction of the central portion within the segmental radial defect area; sagittal slice direction of the central part within the mandibular defect area) were stained with safranin O/Fast Green for the cartilage matrix. After deparaffinization and microwave radiation antigen repair, immunohistochemistry was carried out using primary antibodies against Col I (abcam, ab6308), Col II (abcam, ab34712), Col X (abcam, ab182563) and CD31 (abcam, ab182981), an HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB, brown staining indicates positive immunostaining). The antibody information used in this study was listed in Table S1. Typically, there were six slice samples performed for histological/IHC staining and their quantification in small animal models (mouse ectopic model and rat femoral defect model), with one representative image illustrated. For large animal models (dog segmental radial defect model and dogs mandibular defect model), three slice samples for histological/IHC staining and their quantification, with one representative image presented. All staining slides were captured using a light microscope (Nikon E100, Japan).

RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was utilized for extracting total proteins from BMSCs and murine cartilage tissues. Quantification of proteins were achieved using a Bicinchoninic acid Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime). Protein samples (20 μg) were resolved with 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Invitrogen) [29 (link)]. After blocked with 5% nonfat milk, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against Map3k2 (ab33918, 1:10000, Abcam), Aggrecan (13880-1-AP, 1:1000, Proteintech, Chicago, USA), collagen II (Col2, ab34712, 1:1000, Abcam), collagen X (Col10, ab182563, 1:1000, Abcam), matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13, ab39012, 1:3000, Abcam), ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 5 (ADAMTS, ab41037, 1:250) and β-actin (ab6276, 1:5000, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. After that, the membranes were incubated with corresponding horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Abcam) at room temperature for 2 hours. Eventually, protein signals were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Cwbiotech, Beijing, China) with an Odyssey infrared imaging system (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA).

Cells were collected by cell scraping. RIPA lysis buffer rich in protease inhibitors (Beyotime, China) was applied to extracted the proteins. BCA protein quantification kit (Beyotime, China) was applied to detect the proteins concentrations following the instructions of the manufacturer. Proteins were separated by electrophoresis using SDS-PAGE (Beijing Biosynthetic Biotechnology, China) and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad, United States). The PVDF membrane was put into 5% skimmed milk powder blocking solution (Solarbio, China), and sealed for 2 h at room temperature.

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.
