Oxysterol and rhBMP-2 Combination for Bone Regeneration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The oxysterol combination (SS) was prepared by mixing equal amounts of 100 μM 20S-hydroxycholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich) with 100 μM 22S-hydroxycholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich) dissolved in 1% DMSO in PBS. The other test agent, rhBMP-2, was diluted to a saturated concentration of 1.5 mg/ml with injectable saline. A 50-μl Hamilton syringe (no. 705; Hamilton Company, Reno, NV, USA) with a 32-gauge needle was used to administer an injection into the extraction sockets. Under general anesthesia, 10 μl of SS and 10 μl of rhBMP-2 were injected slowly into the extraction sockets of the rats in each group.

Water soluble SAG was purchased from Calbiochem. Shh-N was produced in bacteria according to (88 (link)). BM15.766 (Santa Cruz) and AY9944 (Calbiochem) were solubilized in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). BM15.766 was present at a concentration of 15 μm and AY9944 at 10 μm in assays unless stated otherwise. Lovastatin (Sigma) solubilized in H2O was present at a concentration of 5 μm in assays. 7DHC, 22(S)-hydroxyCholesterol and 20α-hydroxyCholesterol (all Sigma) were solubilized in ethanol. Cholesterol (Sigma) was solubilized in 30% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (Sigma). Cholesterol and 7DHC were present at 50 μm, and 22S- and 20α-hydroxyCholesterol were present at 10 μm in assays. In all cases equivalent concentrations of vehicle were added to controls. When present 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was at a concentration of 0.1%.

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.
