Isolation and Culture of Mouse BMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BMSCs were isolated from mouse compact bone and cultured.46 (link) Briefly, mice were euthanized, and long bones were dissected. The epiphyses were cut off, and the bone cavities were washed. The compact bones were excised into chips of 1–2 mm3, cultured in a 6 cm2 cell culture dish and digested by collagenase II (Worthington). Finally, the bone chips were cultured at 37 °C for 3 days and digested by trypsin (Gibco) for passage. Passage 3–5 cells were used for experiments unless otherwise described. For the generation of BMSCs that overexpress CUL4B, the pcDNA3-CUL4B vector or empty pcDNA3 vector was transfected into BMSCs using Lipo3000 reagent (Thermo).

Cells were harvested 24–48 h after transfection. For stable transfection, synovial fibroblasts were seeded at 2 × 106 cells per well in a six-well plate and transfected with pCMV-vector or pCMV-RGS12 plasmids using Lipo3000 reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were treated with 0.4 mg/mL geneticin (G418; Thermo Fisher Scientific) every other day for 1 week until G418-resistant colonies had formed. Stably transfected cells were thereafter maintained in complete medium (DMEM supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 10% FBS) containing 0.4 mg/mL G418.

The LSCC cell line AMC-HN-8 was purchased from the cell bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China) and cultured in 90% DMEM (high-glucose) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin. Cells in culture dishes were placed in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO2 atmosphere. SNHG12 siRNA (si-SNHG12: 5′-GUGCUGCAAUCAACUUUAAUU-3′) [15 (link)], WWP1 siRNA (si-WWP1: 5′-GGAGGCGCUUAUAUGUAAU-3′) and control siRNA (si-NC: 5′-UUGUACUACACAAAAGUACUG-3′) [16 (link)] were purchased from RiboBio (Guangzhou, China). miR-129-5p inhibitor (anti-miR-129-5p) and its negative control (anti-miR-NC) and miR-129-5p mimic and its control (miR-NC) were obtained from GenePharma (Shanghai, China).

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.
