Proteins from isolated colon mitochondrial were precipitated in 6 volumes of 6% perchloric acid and neutralized with KOH for the determination of ADP and AMP using ADP Assay Kit (MilliporeSigma, MAK133) or AMP Assay Kit (Abcam, ab273275), respectively, following the manufacturer’s instructions. For determination of total ADP and ATP as well as AMP in the cells, the same ADP Assay Kit (MilliporeSigma, MAK133) or AMP Assay Kit (Abcam, ab273275), respectively, were used. Luminescence and absorbance were measured in 96-well plates with FLUOstar Omega (BMG Labtech).
The adenosine released into the cell culture medium at 24 h lines was determined using the fluorometric Adenosine Assay Kit (Abcam, ab211094) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Fluorescence was measured in 96-well plates with FLUOstar Omega (BMG Labtech).
