Effects of HSF1 alteration in peritumoral liver cells on proliferation and colonlisation of HCC cells, and the expression of MCT4. (A) Compared with that of L02-shNT cells, the supernatant of L02-shHSF1 cells in hypoxia condition significantly suppressed MHCC-97H colony formation and proliferation. (B) Using the supernatant in normoxia condition, there was no difference between colony formation and proliferation between two groups. (C) The specificity of shHSF1-mediated effects was further documented by reintroducing HSF1-cDNA engineered to be insensitive to shRNA. (D) In both normoxia and hypoxia culture conditions, silencing the expression of HSF1 led to low MCT4 expression.
