l-threonine, 2-ketobutyric acid, (R)- and (S)-aminobutyric acid, (R) and (S)-2-aminobutanol were bought from Sigma-Aldrich Chemie AG (Steinheim, Germany). Yeast Extract Peptone (YPD) medium with 20 g/L glucose was used for growth of the wildtype strain prior to transformation and both bought from Sigma-Aldrich Chemie AG. Synthetic complete (SC) drop out medium (Formedium LTD, Hustanton, England) with 6.7 g/L yeast nitrogen base without amino acids and ammonium sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie AG), and 20 g/L glucose (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie AG) was used for pre- and main cultures. LB medium for growth of E. coli was supplied from Carl Roth GmbH + Co. KG (Karlsruhe, Germany).

In certain experiments (one of) the following compounds was/were added to the medium: sodium pyruvate (#11360070, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), l-aspartic acid (#A7219, Sigma-Aldrich), 2-ketobutyric acid (#K401, Sigma-Aldrich), oxaloacetic acid (#O4126, Sigma-Aldrich), sodium l-lactate (#L7022, Sigma-Aldrich), l-(-)-malic acid (#M1000, Sigma-Aldrich), sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate (#S9637, Sigma-Aldrich), dimethyl α-ketoglutarate (#349631, Sigma-Aldrich), uridine (#U3003, Sigma-Aldrich), β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate (#43410, Sigma-Aldrich), Oleamide (#O2136, Sigma-Aldrich) These compounds were dissolved directly in the medium after which its pH was adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH. Media were freshly prepared prior to each experiment.

Cell Culture and Hypoxia Induction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa (CCL-2), MDA-MB-231 (HTB-26), and HEK293T (CRL-3216) cell lines were obtained from ATCC and were maintained in DMEM (Gibco, C11995500BT) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, 10099141 C) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco, 15140-122) at 37 °C within a humidified atmosphere of 20% O2 and 5% CO2. Primary embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were prepared from E13.5 wild type C57BL/6 embryos using standard protocols35 and maintained in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum. MEFs, cultured for no more than six passages, were used for experiments. Since pyruvate could attenuate the accumulation of NADH, we replaced the medium with pyruvate-free DMEM (Merck, D0819) in NADH-related experiments to avoid the interference of pyruvate. To induce hypoxia, cells were cultured under 0.5% oxygen conditions. All the cell lines were tested negative for mycoplasma, and no commonly misidentified cell lines were used in the study. Doxycycline (D9891), N-acetyl-L-cysteine (A9165), glutathione monoethyl ester (353905), and 2-ketobutyric acid (K401) were purchased from Sigma. 6-Mercaptopurine (HY-13677), pelitrexol (HY-14530), lometrexol (HY-14521B), Z-VAD-FMK (HY-16658B), necrosulfonamide (HY-100573), ferrostatin-1 (HY-100579), and menadione (HY-B0332) were purchased from MedChemExpress. A769662 (S2697) and AICAR (S1802) were purchased from Selleck.

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.
