The migration, invasion and proliferation capacities of JEG3 cells are suppressed by HIF1α knockdown in cells exposed to 3% O2. (A,B) Real-time PCR and western blot analyses showing the specific knockdown of HIF1α in JEG3 cells by siRNA. (C) The migration and invasion capacities of JEG3 cells transfected with scramble (control) siRNA or HIF1α siRNA. (D) The number of migrated or invaded cells was counted and the quantitative data are expressed as the fold change from the control of three independent experiments. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, Student’s t-test) (E) The proliferation capacity of JEG3 cells with transfected with scramble (control) siRNA or HIF1α siRNA for 48 h. (not significant, Student’s t-test).
