The protocol for BMSC osteogenic differentiation was described in our previous study.25 Briefly, HG‐treated BMSCs were seeded into 24‐well or 6‐well plates at a density of 1 × 104 cells/cm2 and then cultured in HG‐DMEM (25 mmol/L), and BMSCs cultured in LG‐DMEM (5.5 mmol/L) were considered the control group. After the cells reached 80% confluence, the medium was replaced with osteogenic induction medium (OIM), and 1 nmol/L dexamethasone, 50 μmol/L L‐ascorbic acid‐2‐phosphate and 20 mmol/L β‐glycerophosphate (Cyagen Biosciences, Guangzhou, China) were added to the corresponding culture medium with different glucose concentrations. Morroniside, FPS‐ZM1 and BBGCP2 were added to the OIM with the concentrations mentioned above.

For osteogenic differentiation cells were firstly grown to 100% confluence, and then cultured with medium containing α-MEM with 10% FBS, ascorbate, β-glycerophos-phate and dexamethasone (Cyagen Biosciences, Jiangsu, China) for nine days. Medium was changed every 3 days. Alizarin red staining was performed and recorded using an inverted microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). In addition, mRNA expression of Runx2 and osteocalcin (OCN) was analyzed with qPCR. To assess adipogenic differentiation cells were cultured at 100% confluence for 2∼3 weeks in α-MEM containing 10% FBS, L-glutamine, insulin, isobutylmethylxanthine, rosiglitazone and dexame-thasone (Cyagen Biosciences, Jiangsu, China). Medium was changed every 2∼3 days and then Oil red staining was performed. For chondrogenic differentiation, 3−4×105 suture mesenchyme cells were cultured as a pellet at the bottom of a 15 ml aseptic tube in 0.5 ml α-MEM medium supplemented TGF-β3, dexamethasone, ascorbate, sodium pyruvate and proline (Cyagen Biosciences, Jiangsu, China) and changed every 3 days.

To investigate osteogenic differentiation potential, cells were initially grown under the conditions described above for 48 h. Following this, cells were immediately cultured in commercial osteogenic media supplemented with 50 µg/ml ascorbic acid, 0.1 µM dexamethasone and 10 mM β-glycerophosphate (Cyagen Biosciences, Santa Clara, CA, USA) for 14 days (13 (link),30 (link)). Cells were subsequently fixed in 4% formalin for 30 min at room temperature and stained with alizarin red S (Cyagen Biosciences) for 30 min. To quantify mineralization, the mineral stain was solubilized in 5% SDS in 0.5 ml 0.5 N HCl for 30 min. The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 405 nm using a microplate reader.

To identify the role of l‐THP on osteogenesis and the formation of the calcified nodule, we flushed bilateral femoral bone marrow of 4‐week‐old C57BL/6 mice to isolate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). To induce osteogenesis, BMSCs were cultured with complete medium supplied with 100 nmol/L dexamethasone, 50 μmol/L ascorbic acid and 10 mmol/L β‐glycerophosphate (Cyagen Biosciences). Prepared cells were stained with ALP staining (Sigma‐Aldrich) after osteogenic induction for 14 days, while alizarin red staining was conducted after 21 days. To induce adipogenesis, BMSCs were cultured with 10% FBS α‐MEM supplied with 10 μg/mL insulin, 200 μmol/L indomethacin, 1 μmol/L dexamethasone and 0.5 mmol/L 3‐isobutyl‐1‐methylxanthine (IBMX) (Cyagen Biosciences). Differentiated cells were then marked with Oil Red O staining (Sigma‐Aldrich).

The osteogenic differentiation protocol was described in our previous studies [17 (link), 18 (link)]. Briefly, the BMSCs were cultured in growth medium in 24-well plates at a density of 1 × 104 cells/cm2. When over 80% confluence was reached, the medium was replaced with osteogenic induction medium (OIM), which consisted of growth medium supplemented with 1 nM dexamethasone, 50 μM l-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate and 20 mM β-glycerophosphate (Cyagen Biosciences, Guangzhou, China). Catalpol (10, 50 or 250 μM) was added to OIM in the experimental group, while the control group was cultured in OIM without catalpol. In accordance with a previous study [21 (link)], to examine the involvement of WNT/β-catenin signalling, OIM was supplemented with 50 μM catalpol in the presence or absence of 0.1 μg/ml Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1; Peprotech, CT, USA), an antagonist of the WNT/β-catenin pathway.

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.
