Figure Lengend Snippet: Grk3-/- BmMSCs have higher levels of CXCL12 detected in culture and proliferate more in comparison with WT BmMSCs but secrete similar amounts of CXCL12 per cell. ( A ) Quantification of CXCL12 protein concentration from supernatant of BmMSC cultures. Lower limit of detection at 46.9 ρg/mL. Data represent mean ± SEM, n = 4, passages 11 and 12. ( B ) BmMSC proliferation determined by increased formazan dye production from viable cells over time using CCK-8 proliferation assay. Data represent mean ± SEM, n = 3, except day 0 n = 2, passage 7. * P ≤ 0.05 ** P ≤ 0.01 *** P ≤ 0.001, **** P ≤ 0.0001 ( C ) CXCL12 per MSC determined by trypsinized cell count using trypan blue exclusion of individual wells divided by the amount of CXCL12 (pg/ml) measured by ELISA. Data represent mean ± SEM, n = 11 Grk3-/-, n = 10 WT, passages 10–13
Article Snippet: Supernatants of undifferentiated BmMSC monolayers were collected and analyzed for CXCL12 protein using the CXCL12 DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D Systems, DY460), as per instructions.
