SD-MBG was sterilized by heating at 160 °C for 2 h before BMP-2 immobilization. Then, 500 μg BMP-2 (pure rhBMP-2 from E. coli, Peprotech, Hamburg, Germany) was dissolved in 1 mL of ultrapure water to form BMP-2 solution (500 μg/mL). Next, 20 μL of BMP-2 solution was added to 0.75 mg of SD-MBG. After adsorption for 30 min, another 20 μL of BMP-2 solution was added. This process was repeated until 50 μg of BMP-2 was added to 0.75 mg of MBG particles. Repetitions of loading small volumes of BMP-2 solution were performed in order to homogenously and precisely load the particles with BMP-2. For in vitro analysis of bioactivity and morphology, 15 µg BMP-2/0.75 mg SD-MBG were loaded. The BMP-2 loaded SD-MBG (SD-MBG + BMP-2) was then dried overnight at 37 °C under sterile conditions. BMP-2 loaded SD-MBG was stored at −20 °C until usage.

Acetic acid solution was diluted in deionized water to a concentration of 0.005 mol/l, and COL (10 mg; Shengyou Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, China) was subsequently added into 10 ml acetic acid solution and stirred (JB-2A; Bante Instruments Ltd., Shanghai, China) for 50 min. nHAP (10 mg; Emperor Nano Material Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China) was added to this solution and stirred overnight. The quality ratio was determined to be 1:1.5 (nHAP:COL). BMP-2 (PeproTech, Inc., Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) was dissolved using PeproTech protein solution to 10 ng/µl (21 (link)), and added to the scaffold solution prior to stirring for 50 min at 4°C, resulting in a final BMP-2 concentration of 100 ng/ml. The solution was added into a 24-well Teflon culture plate and frozen at −20°C for 24 h, and lyophilized at −80°C for 48 h (VFD-2000; Boyikang Laboratory Instruments, Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) to form BMP-2-nHAP-COL scaffolds. Scaffold morphology and microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

For hepatic differentiation, cells were cultured for 3 days in RPMI/B27 medium (Insulin minus, Gibco, A18956-01) supplemented with 100 ng/ml Activin A (Peprotech, 120-14E), followed by 4 days with 20 ng/mL BMP2 (Peprotech, 120-02) and 30 ng/mL FGF-4 (Peprotech, 100-31) in RPMI/B27 (complete with Insulin, Gibco, 17504-044) medium, then 6 days with 20 ng/mL HGF (Peprotech, 100-39) and KGF (Peprotech, 100-19) in RPMI/B27 (complete with Insulin), then 8 days with 20 ng/mL Oncostatin-M (R&D Systems, 295-OM/CF) in hepatocyte culture media (Lonza, cc-3198) supplemented with SingleQuots (without EGF). All cell lines used were negative for mycoplasma contamination. For 3D culture, cells were dissociated as small patch at day 16 using accutase and manual pipetting and add to a solution of 40% Matrigel containing hepatocyte culture medium supplemented with SingleQuots (without EGF). Then cells were placed as drop in eight-well Lab-Tek II chamber slides and culture for 6 days before fixation.

The cyiPSCs were chondrogenically differentiated to produce cartilage using a previously described method for human iPSCs9 with one minor modification. In brief, after chondrogenic differentiation, the cells were transferred into suspension culture to induce ECM secretion and form cartilaginous particles 1–3 mm in diameter. Cells and particles were cultured in chondrogenic medium [Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Sigma, St. Louis) with 1% ITS-X (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham), 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1 × 10−4 M nonessential amino acids (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1 mM Na pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 50 U penicillin, 50 mg/mL streptomycin (1% PC/SM, Thermo Fisher Scientific), 0.25 μg/mL amphotericin B (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid (Nacalai), 1 μM rosuvastatin (BioVision, Milpitas), 10 ng/mL BMP2 (Peprotech), 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) (Peprotech), and 10 ng/mL GDF5 (BioVision)]. For human iPSCs, the chondrogenic medium is typically replaced with the conventional medium (DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PC/SM) at 6 weeks after the chondrogenic differentiation.9 In contrast, cyiPSCs were kept in chondrogenic medium after the chondrogenic differentiation until the analysis.

Tuning BMP-2 Release in Laponite Bioink

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate whether the addition of laponite can tailor the growth factor release profile over a long culture period, a base bioink (Fast BMP-2 Release) and a laponite bioink (Slow BMP-2 Release) were compared. For both growth factor release profiles, a dual-syringe approach was used to deliver BMP-2 (200 ng/ml; PeproTech, UK) to the solutions before precross-linking with 60 mM CaSO4 to make the bioinks. These were printed into a 100 mM CaCl2 soak agarose mold to generate final constructs of Ø 6 mm by 6 mm high. In addition to comparing the growth factor release profile of the two bioinks, the degradation rate of the bioinks was also investigated. These scaffolds were cultured in normoxic conditions for up to 35 days and media from each sample were changed weekly. For BMP-2 release study, medium samples were taken (days 0, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 35) and snap-frozen at −80°C. Printed hydrogels were also snap-frozen at −80°C on day 0 to quantify the concentration of growth factor present in the constructs directly after printing. For the degradation study, samples were washed and snap-frozen at −80°C and each time point (days 0, 5, 7, 14, and 21). Samples were lyophilized by placing the samples in a freeze dryer (FreeZone Triad, Labconco, Kansas City, USA). Each sample was then weighed using an analytical balance (Mettler Toledo, XS205).

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.
