Loss of Hif1α impairs hepatic metastasis and resistance toward anoikis state. (a–b) Representative H&E staining pictures (a) and metastasis area calculation (b) reveal decreased metastatic foci after portal vein injection of shHif1α cells as compared with shControl cells. (c) Anoikis assay shows diminished cell survival in the shHif1α cells under anchorage-independent conditions. (d) Western blot and quantified measurements show expression of cleaved-caspase 3 in shControl or shHif1α cells under anchorage-dependent and -independent conditions. The data were a result of three independent experiment. An unpaired t-test was used for determining statistical significance. *P<0.05. See Supplementary Materials and Methods.
