E6/E7 repression is not linked to HIF-1α or HIF-2α expression. (Upper, Left) Immunoblot analyses investigating the effects of the HIF agonists CoCl2, mimosine, or DMOG on E7 levels in normoxic HeLa cells. (Upper, Center and Right) Analyses of the effects of shRNAs blocking HIF-1α (shHIF-1α-1, shHIF-1α-2) or HIF-2α (shHIF-2α-1, shHIF-2α-2) expression, respectively, on hypoxia-linked E7 repression. (Lower) Analyses of the effects of pooled shRNAs blocking HIF-1α (shHIF-1α) or HIF-2α (shHIF-2α), applied either alone or in combination, on hypoxia-linked E6 and E7 repression. β-actin served as a loading control.
