A. HIF-1α protein levels in AMPKα WT and AMPKα1−/−α2−/− cells exposed to 21% O2 (N)± 1mM DMOG (D) or to 1.5% O2 (H) for 2 hours. Anti-POL II antibody used as loading control.
B. HIF-1α protein levels in AMPKα1−/− and AMPKα2−/− cells exposed to 21% O2 (N)± 1mM DMOG (D) or to 1.5% O2 (H) for 2 hours. Anti-POL II antibody used as loading control.
C. AMPKα WT and AMPKα1−/−α2−/− cells transfected with a HRE-Luciferase reporter gene construct and exposed to 21% O2 ± 1mM DMOG or to 1.5% O2 for 16 hours before being harvested. Firefly luciferase activity was normalized to renilla luciferase activity and data reported as fold induction over 21%O2 AMPKα WT.
