To investigate the oxidative stress generated while the cells attach to the titanium surface, we placed a total of 1 × 104 hMSC cells in 100 µL on the surface of each sample in a 12-well plate, immediately and 28 days after UV treatment, with and without dH2O. After we had incubated the cells on the treated titanium disc surfaces for 24 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2, we detected the generation of intracellular ROS levels using 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) fluorophotometry. We incubated the cells with 100-µM DCF-DA for 1 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2. The peak excitation wavelength for the oxidised DCF was 492 nm, while for the emission, it was 527 nm. We used confocal laser-scanning microscopy to observe the intracellular ROS signal, while the fluorescence density was quantitatively determined using the ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

For ROS analysis, chondrocytes isolated from postnatal WT and activin A Tg mice, infected with Ad‐activin A, Ad‐Nox4, or Ad‐C, or transfected with Nox4 siRNA and then infected with the indicated MOIs of Ad‐activin A were used. DPI (diphenyleneiodonium; Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added 1 h prior to infection as a positive control. To detect intracellular ROS, chondrocytes were loaded with 20 × 10−6m of 2’,7’‐dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF‐DA; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C in the dark. After being washed and harvested, cells were immediately examined by flow cytometry using a FACS instrument (Miltenyi Biotec, Seoul, Korea) and analyzed with the FlowJo software (BD Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). Results are expressed as the mean fluorescence intensity. For oxidative stress analysis of mouse cartilage sections, immunohistochemical staining was performed with 8‐hydroxy‐2’‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OhdG; GTX41980, GeneTex, Irvine, CA, USA).

Quantitative measurement of mitochondrial content and mitochondrial membrane potential were performed by loading of MSC with 1 µM MitoTracker Green and MitoTracker Red (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), correspondently. To evaluate autophagy-lysosomal system, MSC were loaded with 2 µM Cyto-ID (Enzo Life Sciences, New York, NY, USA) or 1 µM LysoTracker Green (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The levels of ROS were estimated by stained with 1 µM 2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFDA) (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Incubation cells with the probe was conducted in DMEM/F12 medium without sodium bicarbonate for 30 min at 37 °C. Then, MSC were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and dissociated in 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA (Paneco, Moscow, Russia). The fluorescence intensity was evaluated by flow cytometry using Cytomics FC500 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). Cyto-ID, MitoTracker Green, LysoTracker Green and DCF-mediated fluorescence were measured on the FL1 channel, while MitoTracker Red-mediated fluorescence was evaluated on the FL3 channel. Argon laser with λex = 488 nm was used to excite the fluorescence.

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.
