Figure Lengend Snippet: Myogenesis of PSMSCs on AG/PDA gel scaffold. a) Representative photographic images of PMSCs were first adhesion after inoculation on AG/PDA gel scaffolds for two hours. b) Adhesion ratio of PSMSCs on AG/PDA gel scaffolds (n = 6). c) Representative images of PSMSCs stained with EdU incorporation assay on AG/PDA gel scaffolds. d) EdU positive cells of PSMSCs were evaluated (n = 6). The PDA coating has optical absorption properties, color codes: blue: nuclei; red: EdU, multicolor: merge, bars: 50 μm. e) the metabolic activity of PSMSCs with alma blue cell viability assay on AG/PDA gel scaffolds (n = 6). f) Representative images of immunofluorescent stained PSMSCs and myotubes after 5 days of differentiation on AG/PDA gel scaffolds. Color codes: blue: nuclei, red: MYHC, green: phalloidin, multicolor: merge, bars: 50 μm. g) Western blot analysis of MYHC, MYOD, and GAPDH protein levels in the proliferative and differentiation phases (n = 3). h) Quantification of MYHC and MYOD expression normalized to GAPDH from western blot gel (n = 3). Data presented as mean ± SD (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001, ns: not significant).
Article Snippet: After sealing the membranes with 5 % bovine serum albumin buffer for 2 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated at 4 °C overnight with primary antibodies ((rabbit anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (Abcam, ab181602, 1:10000), mouse anti- myogenic differentiation antigen (MyoD) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-377460, 1:500), primary MYHC antibody (1:500), then secondary antibodies (horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Beyotime, A208,1:1000), HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody (Beyotime, A216, 1:1000) was incubated for 1 h at room temperature.
