Materials:
- Sterile beaker
- 4x 50ml conical tubes
- Ice bucket and ice
- Sterile forceps, scalpels, blue underpads
- Filter .45 micron Steriflip
- Alpha-MEM, FBS, CS, Pen-Strep
- Collagenase type 2 (Worthington Biochemical Corp (4176, 40E11914)
- DMEM
- .05% Trypin/EDTA 4mM Solution
- Shaking water bath at 37C
- Sterile 50ml (small but wide) bottles
- Day 8 neonatal mice
Medium Prep Before Isolation
- For osteocyte culture: Use normal MLO-Y4 media, alpha-MEM, 1% PS, 5% CS, 5% FBS
- For osteoblasts culture: Use normal MC3T3 media, alpha-MEM, 1% PS, 10% FBS
- 20 ml DMEM with 1% PS in a sterile beaker/petri dish
- Digestion Media
- 1. Add collagenase type 2 at 2 mg/ml to 25 mL DMEM containing 1% PS
- 2. Mix and filter and transfer to a 50 ml tube for cell digestion
Dissection and Isolation
- 1) Spray head with 70% ethanol
- 2) Dissect calvariae from 10-20 6 to 9-day old mice
- 3) Clean periostium from bones and transfer bones to Beaker/Petri dish with DMEM with 1% PS
- 4) Bring petri dishes to the cell culture hood
- 5) Mince bones with scissors into small fragments (1 x 1 mm)
- 6) Transfer to a sterile bottle with Digestion media (5-10 mL are needed depending on how many calvariae)
- 7) Place bottle in shaking water bath for 20 minutes
- 8) Collect media. Wash bone fragments with 5-10mL of Osteoblast media. This collection of media= fraction 1.
- 9) Repeat again= fraction 2. Discard fraction 1 and 2.
- 10) Repeat Step 7-8 but SAVE Digestion media. Collect and filter media and wash=fraction 3 and place in a 50 ml conical tube. Spin down cells at F3 for 5 min at 500rpm to form a pellet.
- 11) Resuspend pellet in Osteoblast media and transfer to a TC dish.
- 12) Repeat Steps 9-10 for F4-F6.
- 13) Incubate bone fragments in 5-20 mL Trpsin/EDTA for 20 minutes. Repeat step 7-11 for F7.
- a. Place dish in incubator for 30 minutes.
- b. Remove from incubator. Gently pipette up media, as osteoblasts should have adhered while osteocytes remain unattached. (Not many osteoblasts will remain, but you can use them)
- c. Spin down the osteocyte pellet and replate. Seed “osteocytes” on collagen-coated TC dishes with Osteocyte media.
- 14) Repeat Steps 6-11 for F8-9.
- a. Place dish in incubator for 30 minutes.
- b. Remove from incubator. Gently pipette up media, as osteoblasts should have adhered while osteocytes remain unattached. (Not many osteoblasts will remain, but you can use them)
- c. Spin down the osteocyte pellet and replate. Seed “osteocytes” on collagen-coated TC dishes with Osteocyte media.
- 15) Cut up any remaining bone fragments as much as possible. Seed bone fragments on collagen-coated TC dishes with Osteocyte media = Bone crawl.
Notes:
- The 30 minute lifting method was used on F3-F6 previously, but it did not seem to yield many osteocytes. Additionally, earlier fractions will have a high percentage of osteoblasts.
- F3-F6 can be combined for a total osteoblast population.
- The bone crawl method will result in very packed colonies of osteocytes exiting the tissue. We have added a small amount of Trypsin/EDTA to break up these cells and kept them in culture for a more homogenous layer of cells.
- Do not let osteocytes in culture pass 60% confluency, do not let osteoblasts in culture pass 80% confluency.
