Genomic yeast DNA was isolated as described by Graham et al. [23 (link)], with some modifications. Yeast cells were separated from the TSB medium by centrifugation at 14,000× g for 7 min. Each pellet was washed with sterile de-ionized water and centrifuged at 14,000× g for 7 min. Then, the pellet was suspended in a 600 μL extraction buffer (1 M Tris pH 8.0, 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate) (Sigma-Aldrich, Poznan, Poland) and incubated at 100 °C for 30 min in a water bath. The lysate was centrifuged at 14,000× g for 7 min, and after centrifugation the supernatant was put into a new tube and phenolated three times. A mixture of phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1; v/v/v) (Sigma-Aldrich, Poznan, Poland) was used in two first phenolates, and a mixture of chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (24:1; v/v) was used in the last phenolate. Then, DNA was extracted with 1/10 estimated sample volumes of 7.5 M sodium acetate (pH 5.2) (Sigma-Aldrich, Poznan, Poland), and two estimated sample volumes of 98% ethanol (Sigma-Aldrich, Poznan, Poland) at −20 °C for 1 h, and centrifuged at 14,000× g for 17 min. The extracted DNA was washed twice with 70% ethanol and centrifuged each time at 14,000× g for 7 min. The extract was dried at 37 °C for 30 min in an incubator. The dried pellet was dissolved in 100 μL of sterile de-ionized water at 37 °C for 20–24 h and was stored at −20 °C for later study.

Extraction buffer (radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer plus 1× proteinase and phosphatase inhibitors; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to extract the total protein content from 200 mg powders or 1 × 106 cells. After the sample was placed in 10% resolving 1× sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel, the proteins were transferred to a nylon membrane. Blocking was achieved by placing the nylon membrane in 5% skimmed milk in 1× phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20 (1× PBST); subsequently, primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in 2% skimmed milk in 1× PBST (Supplementary Table S1) for protein detection. Signals were developed by using electrochemiluminescence solution (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) and films (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA).

Glucose Uptake Measurement in Apoptotic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LR73 cells were incubated with apoptotic Jurkat cells for 2h, washed 3 times with PBS and incubated with 10 mM 2-deoxygloucs (2-DG), a glucose analog, in glucose free media for 30 min. Following incubation, cells were washed 3 times with PBS and lysed with Extraction Buffer (Sigma Cat#: MAK083). Lysate was frozen/thawed in dry ice/ethanol, and then heated at 85°C for 40 min. Lysate was then cooled on ice for 5 min and then neutralized by Neutralization Buffer (Sigma Cat#: MAK083). Samples were spun down at 13,000x g to remove insoluble fraction and then diluted 10-fold by adding Assay Buffer. Using the lysate, glucose uptake was measured using Glucose Uptake Colorimetric Assay Kit (Sigma). 2-DG is taken up by cells and phosphorylated by hexokinase to 2-DG6P. 2-DG6P cannot be further metabolized and accumulates in cells, directly proportional to the glucose uptake by cells. 2-DG uptake is determined by a coupled enzymatic assay in which the 2-DG6P is oxidized, resulting in the generation of NADPH, which is then determined by a recycling amplification reaction in which the NADPH is utilized by glutathione reductase in a coupled enzymatic reaction that produces glutathione. Glutathione reacts with DTNB to produce TNB, which was detected at 412 nm as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

After 7 weeks of swimming exercise, rats were fasted for 4 h. Samples of blood was centrifuged for 15 min at 1, 000 × g, and serum samples were harvested and stored at -20°C for detection of LDH release and inflammatory mediators. At the time of euthanasia, feces were collected and stool samples were extracted in the extraction buffer (Sigma), centrifuged for 5 min at 13,000 × g, and then used for the measurement of calprotectin and lactoferrin. After all animals were euthanized, laparotomy was performed immediately. The spleen was dissected for photoing and weighing. The colon was removed from the distal end of the cecum to the rectum, freed of adherent adipose tissue, split longitudinally, and washed with ice-cold saline to remove fecal residue and photographed. Isolated colons were utilized for histopathological, immunohistochemical, biochemical investigation, and other analyses.

For western analysis cerebral hemispheres were extracted from mice at 6 and 24 hours after surgery and flash frozen in 2-methyl-butane. Samples were pooled (2 stroke hemispheres, 2 sham hemispheres) to achieve a high enough protein concentration to assess protein in the nuclear fraction. Samples were homogenized with Dounce homogenizers in cold lysis solution (10mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 5mM MgCl2, 0.1mM EDTA, 1.5mM CaCl2, 0.25mM sucrose, 1M DDT, 10% Triton X-100, 1:50 protease inhibitor cocktail). These samples were then centrifuged at 800g for 10 min at 4°C, with the pellet containing the nuclear fraction. The supernatant was centrifuged again at 14000g for 30 minutes for the cytosolic fraction. The nuclear pellet was re-suspended in lysis buffer and was run through a sucrose gradient composed of 1.8M and 2.3M sucrose with ultra-centrifugation at 30,000g for 45 min. The subsequent pellets were collected with Nuclei pure storage buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and centrifuged at 2300rpm for 10min. The pellets were dissolved in Extraction Buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), sonicated 10 seconds three times, and stored at −80°C as the final nuclear fraction (32 (link)).

Enzymatic cycling assays to determine NADP(H) and NAD(H) levels were performed according to the NADP+/NADPH Quantification Kit (Sigma) and NAD+/NADH Quantification Kit (Sigma). Cells were grown in Delft + 100 mg L−1 histidine + 100 mg L−1 uracil medium, then 5 OD600nm of cells were collected at later exponential (EX) phase (OD600nm ≈ 2) and post-diauxic (PD) phases. Collected cells were immediately added to 20 ml of cold methanol (pre-chilled to −80 °C) to quench cellular metabolism. Cells were centrifuged at −10 °C for 4 min (4000×g), then supernatant was removed. Cell pellets were freeze-dried for 2 h and stored at −80 °C until measurement. The dried cell pellet was resuspended in 500 µl of extraction buffer (Sigma) and added to 0.2 g of prechilled glass beads (425–600 µm diameter, Sigma). Cells were lysed via four rounds of vortexing for 20 s at speed 6200 rpm on the Precellys Evolution Homogenizer (Bertin technologies) followed by incubation for 1 min on ice. The cell lysates were centrifuged at 14000×g for 1 min at 0 °C, and supernatant was used to measure NADH(H) and NAD(H) amounts following the manufacturer’s instructions (Sigma).
