Stempro osteogenesis kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

The StemPro® Osteogenesis Kit is a laboratory product designed for the induction and differentiation of stem cells into osteogenic (bone) cells. The kit provides a complete set of reagents, including culture medium and supplements, to support the osteogenic differentiation process. The core function of this product is to facilitate the controlled and efficient differentiation of stem cells into mature osteoblasts, which are the primary cell type responsible for bone formation.

The P4 cells were plated at a density of 5 × 104 in a 24 well plate. The cells were cultured in CCM until they reached 80% confluence. Upon confluence, we replaced the regular CCM with osteogenic media (StemPro osteogenesis kit, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with freshly prepared LPS solution at 5, 10, and 20 µg/mL concentrations. The osteogenic media with LPS was replaced every fourth day for a total of 28 days.
Alizarin-Red staining: At the end of Day 28, the cells were fixed using 4% formaldehyde. The fixed cells were washed in PBS to stain further using Alizarin-Red (MERCK, Darmstadt, Germany). The stained cells’ photomicrographs were captured using a 12-megapixel digital camera attached to a Nikon eclipse Ti-U inverted bright field microscope.
Extraction of Alizarin-Red stain for osteogenic quantification—the cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) (MERCK, Darmstadt, Germany) extraction method was employed to extract the stain. Briefly, 350 mg CPC was dissolved in 10 mL of double-distilled water. We added an appropriate amount (2.3 mL) of the prepared CPC solution into each well, and the plate was incubated at 37 °C for 2 h with mild shaking. The plate was read using a microplate reader (infinite 200) at 405 nm wavelength. The absorbance readings were tabulated for statistical analysis.

Osteogenic Differentiation of C-MSCs

The clumps of cells were treated with osteoinductive medium (StemPro osteogenesis kit) (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA, USA) with 5, 10, or 20 µgm/mL LPS for four weeks. C-MSCs treated with osteoinductive media (OIM) alone formed the positive control group, while C-MSCs treated with regular CCM formed the negative control group.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Lineage Differentiation

For osteogenic differentiation, AD-MSCs were seeded at a density of 1.6 × 104 cells/cm2 in Nunc™ 24-well plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or at a density of 1 × 104 in 96-well plates (TPP). For adipogenic differentiation, cells were cultured at a density of 1.6 × 104 cells/cm2 in Nunc™ 24-well plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Differentiation was started 24 h after seeding with StemPro® Osteogenesis Kit or StemPro® Adipogenesis Kit (Gibco/Life Technologies). For chondrogenic differentiation, cells were cultured at a density of 5 × 103 cells/cm2 in a Nunc™ 24-well plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and differentiation was induced at the 4th day of culture using the StemPro® Chondrogenesis Kit (Gibco/Life Technologies). All media were changed every 4 days.

Multilineage Differentiation of Bone Marrow Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were sorted directly into culture at a 96-well plate. The cultures were incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% O2 and 10% CO2 for 7–10 days. Colonies were stained by CellTracker™ Green CMFDA (Life Technologies), and image was acquired by Celigo Imaging Cytometer (Nexcelom). For in vitro differentiation, clonally expanded Ncad-CreERT driven Tomato+ BM and bone stromal cells were isolated from CFU-F cultures by digesting with 0.25% Trypsin/EDTA, split into 3 aliquots, and seeded into separate cultures permissive for differentiation: StemPro Osteogenesis kit GIBCO A10072–01, Adipogenesis kit A10070–01 and Chondrogenesis differentiation kit A10071–01. The osteoblastic differentiation was assessed by VECTOR Red Alkaline Phosphatase; the adipogenic differentiation was detected by Oil Red O (Sigma); and the chondrogenic differentiation was detected by Toluidine blue (Sigma, 0.1g T Blue/100mL distilled water).

Multilineage Characterization of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Adipose-derived stem cells were characterized by flow cytometry and multilineage differentiation. For flow cytometry, ASCs in suspension were incubated with phycoerythrin-coupled antibodies for rat CD31 (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA), CD44 (eBioscience Inc, San Diego, CA), CD45 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA), and CD90 (Acris Antibodies, San Diego, CA) in the dark, at room temperature for 30 minutes. The cells were washed with wash buffer (0.5% fetal bovine serum in phosphate-buffered saline) and were fixed in neutral 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 30 minutes.
To induce adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, ASCs were cultured in adipogenic differentiation medium (StemPro Adipogenesis Kit, Gibco) and osteogenic differentiation medium (StemPro Osteogenesis Kit, Gibco) for 14 and 21 days, respectively. For chondrogenic differentiation, ASCs micromass pellets were fed with chondrogenic differentiation medium that consisted of Dulbecco modified eagle medium with 10-ng/mL transforming GF β-3 [TGFβ-3], and 200-μmol/L ascorbic acid for 2 weeks. Adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation was confirmed with oil red O, alizarin red staining, and alcian blue staining, respectively.

The multi‐lineage potential of the cells was ascertained by inducing the samples post‐harvest with the StemPro Adipogenesis kit, StemPro Chondrogenesis kit and StemPro Osteogenesis kit (Life Technologies, UK). The media were prepared and used as per the manufacturer's instructions and the differentiation studies were performed as described in 30.

Cells were seeded in 12-well plates (Corning) (104 cells/cm2) in triplicate. After 3 days, the medium was replaced with an osteogenic induction medium (StemPro Osteogenesis Kit, Life Technologies); in parallel, negative controls were cultivated in MSC medium. Differentiation and the MSC media were changed every 2–3 days. After 9 days, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was quantified through incubation with phosphatase substrate (Sigma-Aldrich), and the resulting p-nitrophenol was quantified colourimetrically using Multiskan EX ELISA Plate Reader (Thermo Scientific) at 405 nm. Absorbance data were normalised by subtracting from undifferentiated, negative controls.

Comprehensive Characterization of hMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Multi‐parameter immunophenotypic analysis of the hMSCs was determined by flow cytometry and the antibodies were selected on the basis of the panel recommended by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) (Dominici et al., 2006). This was performed using a Guava HT flow cytometer with excitation at 488 nM and is described in detail in Chan et al. (2014). Tri‐lineage differentiation potential of the cells was determined by using the StemPro Adipogenesis kit, StemPro Chondrogenesis kit and StemPro Osteogenesis kit (Life Technologies, ThermoFisher Scientific Company, Loughborough, UK) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions on post‐harvest hMSC samples to induce differentiation. Staining of the samples to determine differentiation was performed as described in (Rafiq et al., 2013b). CFU‐f efficiency was determined by culturing the hMSCs in monolayer at a cell density of 10 cells/cm2 and with a complete medium exchange every 4 days. After 15 days in culture, hMSCs were washed with PBS (Lonza, Visp, Switzerland) and fixed with 4% formaldehyde (v/v) (Sigma, UK) for 30 min. A 1% crystal violet (Sigma–Aldrich) in 100% methanol (w/v) was used for colony staining. The samples were incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the 1% crystal violet solution. All stained colonies that comprised of more than 25 cells were recorded as CFUs.

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.
