The pups were sacrificed by decapitation at 24 h after HI. Tissue from the parietal cortex (including the hippocampus) in both hemispheres was rapidly dissected out and homogenized immediately on ice using a 2-ml Dounce tissue grinder set (Sigma, D8938), and an isolation buffer was added (15 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.6, 320 mM sucrose, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM MgCl2, 3 mM EDTA-K, and 0.5% protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma, P8340)). The procedures for cellular fraction isolation, including nuclear, cytosolic, and mitochondrial fractions, were as described in our previous study [30 (link)]. All fractions were kept at – 80 °C.
