A 250 μL volume of cell suspension (containing 2.5 × 105 cells, including both living and dead cells) was added to six 15 mL tubes (Falcon) containing a chondrogenic induction medium consisting of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Thermo Fisher Scientific), 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3, Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), 500 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA), 40 μg/mL proline (Merck), 100 nM dexamethasone, 100 μg/mL pyruvate (Merck), 1% antibiotic–antimycotic, 50 μg/mL ascorbate-2-phosphate, and 1% ITS + Premix (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA). The cells were centrifuged at 450×g for 10 min to form cell pellets, which were cultured for 21 days. The cultured cell pellets were photographed and weighed with a semi micro balance (CPA225D, Sartorius, Gottingen, Germany). The pellets were cut into 5 µm sections and stained with safranin O and toluidine blue.

Dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich) was used with TGFβ1 at concentration of 10 nM [19 ]. The cell pellets were maintained with 0.5 mL medium at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. The medium was replaced twice per week.

BMSCs were seeded at 6 × 104 cells/cm2 in 12-well plates for RNA collection (Nunc) and in 24-well plates (Nunc) for mineralization and adipogenic assays. Osteogenic induction medium contained HG-DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% PenStrep, 10 mM β-glycerol phosphate (BGP, Sigma-Aldrich), 100 nM dexamethasone, and 50 μM L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate.

Control medium contained osteogenic induction medium components and 0.1% DMSO without BMP-2 or LDN 193189. Cultures were maintained for 9 days to prevent complete delamination, and the medium was exchanged every 3 days. The concentration of BMP-2 added to the BMSC osteogenic cultures was determined by doing a titration experiment wherein increasing concentrations of BMP-2 were added to BMSC cultures for 14 days.

The kinetics of BMP-2 release from equal volumes of Reb (86 mg, 400 mm3) vs. ACS (Helistat®, Integra Life Science, USA) (10×10×4 mm, 400 mm3) were determined. Bone grafts were loaded with 2.3 μg BMP-2 (Medtronic, USA), diluted in 100 μl BMP-2 buffer each. Each condition was performed in triplicates. Each loaded graft was incubated for 15 min at room temperature before it was placed into a 2 ml tube containing additional 400 μl of BMP buffer (Medtronic, USA). Tubes were incubated at 37 °C with continuous agitation. After a period of 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 31 days, the supernatant was collected, and fresh BMP buffer (Medtronic, USA) added. The amount of BMP-2 in the supernatant obtained at each time point was determined with the human BMP-2 Quantikine ELISA kit (R&D systems, USA).

MSC Spheroid Formation with BMP-2 Loaded HA Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spheroids were formed using a forced aggregation method.[24 (link)] Briefly, MSCs (4.35×105 cells/mL) were pipetted into agarose molds in well plates, and the well plates were centrifuged at 500×g for 8 min. Plates were maintained statically in standard culture conditions for 48 h to form spheroids. Each microwell contained 15,000 MSCs.
Human recombinant BMP-2 (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) was adsorbed onto HA nanoparticles (100 nm average diameter, Berkeley Advanced Biomaterials, Berkeley, CA) by resuspending HA in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and adding BMP-2 to a final concentration of 200 ng/mL in low adhesion conical tubes. After 90 min, the tubes were centrifuged at 500×g for 8 min, and the supernatant was aspirated, leaving the pelleted HA. The pellet was washed once with PBS, the mixture centrifuged again at 500×g for 8 min, and PBS was aspirated. The remaining pellet was resuspended in cell culture media for subsequent incorporation into spheroids.
HA was incorporated into spheroid cultures by resuspending the cell pellet of known cell number in media containing HA. The HA-cell mixture was pipetted up and down for 5 s to ensure homogeneity. The HA-cell suspension was then dispersed into the agarose molds and spheroids were formed as described above.

Animals were treated in accordance with all UC Davis and National Institutes of Health (NIH) animal care and handling procedures. MSCs, either spheroids or individual cells, were entrapped in alginate hydrogels (2 mm diameter, 6 mm length) at 30 × 106 cells/mL and kept in complete media in standard culture conditions for 18 hrs before implantation. Male athymic rats (NIH/RNU, 10-12 weeks old, Taconic, Hudson, NY) were anesthetized and maintained under a 3-4% isoflurane/O2 mixture delivered through a nose cone. Six millimeter diaphyseal critical-size defects were created in the right femora of each animal and stabilized with a radiolucent polyetheretherketone (PEEK) plate and 6 angular stable bicortical titanium screws (RISystem AG, Davos, Switzerland) as described.[28 (link)] Defects were immediately filled with one of four RGD-modified alginate constructs: 1) MSC spheroids formed from PC3 preconditioned cells; 2) PC3 individual MSCs; 3) acellular gels containing 2 μg BMP-2 (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN), previously reported to successfully promote union within 12 weeks[29 ], or 4) acellular gels.

Osteogenic differentiation assays were performed as previously reported79 (link) in non-collagen coated flasks. Briefly, 100,000 cells were plated in 6-well plates and cultured under specific osteogenic conditions in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin solution (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1 mM dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich), 50 μM ascorbate-2-phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 mM β-glycerophosphate (Sigma-Aldrich), and 100 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2; Medtronic), with or without 10 nM rapamycin, and incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. Mineralization was assessed by Alizarin Red staining on day 21. The cultures were rinsed twice with PBS, fixed in 100% ethanol for 30 min, and stained with 1% Alizarin Red (Hartman Leddon, Philadelphia, PA, USA) in 0.28% ammonia water for 10 min at room temperature. The stained cell layers were washed twice with distilled water and air dried for micro-/macroscopic analyses. For quantification, Alizarin Red dye was extracted from the stained cell layer with 5% formic acid solution, and the optical density was measured with a photometer (microplate reader Model 680; Bio-Rad, Tokyo, Japan) at a 415 nm wavelength. Total RNA was extracted for qRT-PCR analysis. The expression patterns of osteogenic genes expressing collagen type 1 alpha 1 (Col1A1) and osteocalcin were analyzed.

Dicalcium Phosphate Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For all the implants a dicalciumphosphate (DCP) scaffold CopiOs® (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana, USA) was used. From the original scaffold blocks, rings with a diameter of 2 cm and a central hole of 6 mm and a thickness of 4 mm were shaped. For the 3 cm FD group 8 rings were used, for the 4.5 cm BED group 12 rings.
For the combination of scaffold plus BMP, the rings were coated with either BMP-2 (Medtronic, Minneapolis, USA) or BMP-6 (Genera Inc., Kalinovica, Rakov Potok, Croatia) according to the subgroups.
For the FD group, the amount of BMP-6 coated onto each scaffold ring was 43 μg (total of 344 μg). For the BED group the amount of BMP-2 coated onto each scaffold ring was 125 μg (total of 1500 μg). For BMP-6125 μg and respectively 317 μg per ring was used for the two subgroups (total of 1500 μg and 3800 μg respectively). Subsequently, the scaffolds rings were incubated for 1 h at 37 °C and seeded with 51. 10 6 cells (total amount of cells 408 million for FD and 612 million for BED group) in 240 μl of DMEM with 10% autologous sheep serum and once again incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. At last 25 ml of DMEM with 10% autologous sheep serum was added for transport and implantation was performed within 3 h after assembly of the ATMP. The residual transport medium was centrifuged for calculating of cell seeding efficiency by counting the remaining cells.

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.
