Figure 8. Effect of rottlerin, LY294002, rapamycin, or 2ME2 on HIF-1α levels in nuclear protein extracts from lung tissues of OVA-inhaled mice.

Figure 8

(A) Western blotting of the levels of HIF-1α in lung tissues. (B) Densitometric analyses are presented as the relative ratio of each molecule to actin. The relative ratio of each molecule in the lung tissues of SAL+SAL mice is arbitrarily presented as 1. The protein levels of HIF-1α were measured at 48 h after the last challenge in mice. Results from four independent experiments with 5 mice/group are given as mean ± SEM. # p<0.05 vs SAL+SAL; *p<0.05 vs OVA+SAL. Saline-inhaled mice administered saline (SAL+SAL), OVA-inhaled mice administered saline (OVA+SAL), drug vehicle (OVA+VEH), rottlerin (OVA+ROT), LY294002 (OVA+LY), rapamycin (OVA+RAPA), and 2-methoxyestradiol (OVA+2ME2).
