Effects of HIF-1α on ASMCs’ biological functions. Note (A) ELISA detection of inflammation factor levels in ASMCs before and after modeling; (B) ELISA detection of inflammation factor levels in cells from each group; (C) MTT assay to measure cell viability in each group, “%control” refers to the cell viability of each group compared to the Normoxia group; (D) Flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle changes in each group; (E) EdU experiment to evaluate cell proliferation capacity in each group (scale bar: 20 μm); (F) Transwell assay to assess cell migration ability in each group; (G) Quantification of Transwell assay results; (H) TUNEL assay to measure cell apoptosis rate in each group (scale bar = 50 μm); (I) Quantification of TUNEL assay results. Statistical significance was denoted as follows: * for P < 0.05 compared to the Hypoxia + sh-NC group, ** for P < 0.01 compared to the Hypoxia + sh-NC group, $ for P < 0.05 compared to the Normoxia group, and $$ for P < 0.01 compared to the Normoxia group. Each cell experiment was replicated three times
