The immunoprecipitation experimental procedures were as previously described54 (link). Cultures were treated with recombinant human IGF1 (Invitrogen) at 300 ng/mL80 (link) and/or recombinant human SDF-1α (R&D System) at 100 nM81 (link). First, hDSCs were collected and lysed in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1% NP-40, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, and protease inhibitor). The cell lysate (300 μg) was incubated with protein A/G-agarose beads at 4 °C for 6 hours. Then, antibodies against IGF1R (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), CXCR4 (R&D System), phosphotyrosine (pY) (p-Tyr-100, Cell Signaling), Giα2 (T-19, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and Gβ (M-14, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), or control antibody IgG (anti-hemagglutinin clone F-7, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were added and reacted for 6 hours at 4 °C. These immunocomplexes were incubated on protein A/G-agarose beads at 4 °C overnight. After three washes with lysis buffer, the immunocomplexes were then examined by western blot with anti-IGF1R, anti-phosphotyrosine, anti-CXCR4 antibodies, anti- Giα2 and Gβ, or anti-control IgG.

Multicolor Fluorescence Labeling Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluo-4 AM, Rhod-2 AM, MitoTracker Red CM-H2Xros, and carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) were purchased from Molecular Probes (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Recombinant human SDF-1α, NF340 (P2Y11 antagonist), NF546 (P2Y11 agonist), 5-BDBD (P2X4 antagonist), CSC (A2a antagonist), MRS1754 (A2b antagonist), and H89 (PKA antagonist) were from R&D Systems, and cAMP-AM was from BIOLOG Life Science Institute. In all experiments, 5-BDBD, NF340, and NF546 were used at concentrations (1-10 μM) at which they were reported to be specific for the respective receptor (36 (link), 64 (link), 65 (link)). Anti-human CD4-allophycocyanin (clone: OKT4) and anti-human CD69 FITC (clone: FN50) antibodies were purchased from Biolegend. Mouse anti-human CD3 (clone: HIT3a) antibodies were from BD Pharmingen. All other reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich unless stated otherwise.

Quantifying EPC Adhesion to SDF-1α-Stimulated EC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1 x 105 cells/well of HUVEC were cultured in the 24-well glass plates pre-coated with 1% gelatin and cells reached 100% confluence one-day later. The HUVEC monolayers were stimulated with recombinant human SDF-1α (R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or BSA at 100 ng/mL for 8-hour. Nanocarriers-coated DsRed+ EPC (1 x 105) were suspended in 1 mL basal EGM2 medium. To test the effect of E-selectin antagonist on EPC adhesion to SDF-1α-stimulated EC, E-selectin neutralizing antibody (BBA1; R & D Systems) or isotype-matched control antibody (2 μg/mL) were added into EC monolayer and incubated for 15-min before adding nanocarriers-coated EPC. HUVEC-EPC were co-cultured for 1-hour at 37°C. Unbounded EPC were washed out twice with 1 mL PBS. Fluorescence signals derived from adherent DsRed+ EPC were measured and quantified by fluorescence scanner (GE Typhoon Trio, Piscataway, NJ).

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.
