Under anesthesia, P10 pups were transcardially perfused with ice-cold PBS (pH 7.4) followed by infusion of 4% paraformaldehyde. Brains were then removed and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C for a minimum of 3 days. After dehydrated with 30% sucrose in PBS (pH 7.4), brains were processed to obtain 10-µm tissue slides. As described previously (Li et al., 2012b (link)), immunofluorescence was performed using the following primary antibodies: mouse anti-5mC (1:500; Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA), rabbit anti-HIF-1α (1:50; Santa Cruz) and mouse anti-neuronal nuclei (1:100; Millipore). After blocking with 1% bovine serum albumin in PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100 for 2 h at room temperature and incubation with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, tissue sections were treated with secondary antibodies raised against mouse and rabbit IgG conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 (1:200) and Alexa Fluor 647 (1:200) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), respectively, for 2 h at room temperature. After 3 washes, sections were stained with Hoechst 33258 (5 µg/mL; Sigma) for 1 min. The sections were then covered with aqueous mounting medium (RD Systems, Minneapolis, MN), visualized and imaged using the Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope, as previously described (Li et al., 2012b (link)).

Rats were anesthetized using 250 mg/kg ketamine and 2% xylazine (10 mg/kg, Sigma-Aldrich) for a duration of 6, 12 or 24 h following surgery, and were subsequently sacrificed by rapid decapitation. The collected brain tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for 8 h at 0°C. Fixed brains were paraffin embedded and cut into 2 µm sections using a microtome (Leica Microsystems GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). Sections were briefly washed with TBS and incubated for 30 min in 3% H2O2 to quench endogenous peroxidase activity. The following primary antibodies: Rabbit anti-HIF1α (1:100; catalog no. sc-10790; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas; Texas; U.S.A) and rabbit anti-p-S6 (1:100; catalog no. 4858; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) were applied overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, sections were washed three times with TBS and then incubated with SignalStain® Boost Immunohistochemistry Detection reagent (1:50; catalog no. 8114; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) for 1 h at room temperature. Sections were then incubated with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (ZSGB-BIO, Beijing, China). Finally, the sections were dehydrated, mounted and examined under a light microscope (Leica Microsystems GmbH). Positive cells were counted using Image-Pro Plus software verison 7.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA).

At 3, 14, and 28 days after initiation of the exercise regimens, rats were sacrificed for Western blot analysis. Tissue samples from the ipsilesional ischemic cerebral hemispheres of all experimental groups were harvested, and total protein extraction was performed using cell lysis solutions (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). Protein concentration was then determined by the BCA method. Electrophoresis (10% SDS-PAGE gel) was performed with 30 μg of protein per lane. Gel transfer to a PVDF membrane was performed under 200 V for 1 h. Membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk, followed by incubation with primary antibodies (1:1,000 rabbit anti-BDNF, rabbit anti-NGF, rabbit anti-PSD-95, rabbit anti-SYN, rabbit anti-Tau, and rabbit anti-GAP43, Abcam, MA, USA; 1:500 rabbit anti-HIF-1α, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) overnight at 4°C. The next day, membranes were washed three times and further incubated with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody (1:1,000, Santa Cruz) at room temperature for 1 h. After washing, the ECL method was used to detect signals.

Cell membrane fractions, whole cell lysate, or co-immunoprecipitated samples were resolved using 10% SDS-PAGE. For cell lysate and membrane fraction blots, 40 µg and 100 µg of protein was loaded, respectively. The separated proteins were then transblotted onto nitrocellulose membranes and the membranes were blocked using 2% casein in PBS + 0.05% Tween-20 (PBST). Blots were then probed overnight at 4 °C with monoclonal mouse anti-GAPDH antibody (1 µg/mL) (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA), rabbit anti TfR2 (1 µg/mL) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), or rabbit-anti HIF-1α (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA). Bound antibodies were then detected using anti-mouse peroxidase or anti-rabbit peroxidase antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich), respectively. After extensive washing with PBST, blots were developed using Luminata TM Forte Western HRP substrate (MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA, USA). As a loading control, anti beta-actin was used for cell lysates. For membrane fractions, amido black staining was utilized to ensure equal protein loading. Blots were imaged on an ImageQuant LAS 4000 imager (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Marlborough, MA, USA).

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.
