hMSCs on hydrogels were fixed with 4% PFA for 10 min and permeabilised with 0.2% Triton-X100 for 10 min. Following blocking with 10% BSA solution in PBS for 1 h, substrates were incubated with primary antibodies (vinculin (Abcam, ab18058), YAP/TAZ (Cell signalling, D24E4), β1 integrin (BD Biosciences, 550531), MyoD (BD Biosciences, 554130) and Alexa633-conjugated phalloidin (Sigma Aldrich) and subsequently with Alexa488 or -546-conjugated secondary antibodies (Life Technologies) and DAPI. For proliferation studies, EdU labelling was performed following the manufacturer’s protocol (Click-iT EdU Alexa Fluor-488 HCS Aaasy, Thermo fisher scientific). Quantification of nuclear localisation was performed manually. Cells were considered to have nuclear localisation when the level of fluorescence in the nucleus was higher than the level in the cytosol.

For quantitation of surface β1-integrin levels, cells were washed twice with PBS, trypsinised, centrifuged at 1,500 RPM then re-suspended in 500 μl of FACS buffer (PBS+0.1% heat inactivated BSA) and kept on ice. For primary antibody labelling with β1-integrin (BD Biosciences, 610467), cells were centrifuged and re-suspended in 100 μl of FACS buffer containing a 1:200 dilution of primary antibody and incubated on ice for 30 min. Cells were washed twice by sequential addition of 1 ml FACS buffer followed by centrifugation as above. Alexa 488 secondary antibody (Thermo Scientific) was added according to the antibody staining as above. Two rounds of washing were performed before surface integrin levels were measured using a FACS Aria 2 (BD).

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.
