Osteogenic Differentiation of BMSCs

BMSCs were plated in culture media (α-MEM media + 10 % Hyclone FBS + 1 % PSG) at 2.0 × 104 cells/cm2 in 12-well plates. Upon reaching confluency, cultures were stimulated with osteogenic media (α-MEM media + 10 % Hyclone FBS + 1 % PSG + 50μg/mL ascorbic acid) for 5 days, media changed every other day. Cells were then cultured overnight in serum-deprived osteogenic media (α-MEM media +0.3 % Hyclone FBS + 1 % PSG + 50μg/mL ascorbic acid). On Day-6, cultures were stimulated for 2 h with serum-deprived osteogenic media supplemented with either vehicle-control or recombinant C3a (5, 10, or 20 ng/mL, R&D Systems). After the 2-h stimulation, supernatants were aspirated, and cells were washed to remove recombinant proteins. Fresh serum-deprived osteogenic media was added back to cultures for 5 h. Cell culture supernatants were then collected for ELISA protein assays, and cells were isolated for qRT-PCR gene expression analysis to assess pro-osteoclastic genes. In vitro osteoblast stimulation assay was performed in triplicate (technical replicate) cultures. Data are representative of two separate experiments.

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.
