Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 5. Expression levels of p21, p53, Rb, and c-Myc in ICAM-11 and ICAM-12 osteoblasts detected by specific Abs. ICAM-1-MG63 were harvested and solubilized in lysis buffer by sonication. Postnuclear supernatants were prepared by centrifugation and protein was quantitated. For Western blot analysis, samples containing equal amounts of proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Separated proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes. After blocking, membranes were incubated with anti-p21, anti-p53, anti-Rb, anti-c-Myc, anti-cdk2, and control antiactin Abs. After washing, the membranes were incubated with HRP- conjugated Abs and proteins were detected using a chemi- luminescence reagent.
Article Snippet: When cell monolayers reached confluence after a 6- to 8-week culture period, the explants were removed and the cells were replated and incubated, which resulted in new cellular outgrowth and eventually a confluent monolayer of cells, which possessed characteristics of osteoblast-like phenotype including osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, type I collagen, and ALP, as previously described(5) The human osteosarcoma–derived osteoblast-like cell line MG63 (American Type Culture Collection [ATCC], Rockville, MD, U.S.A.) was grown in DMEM with 10% FCS.
