HIF-2α activation affects expression of various genes in cultured primary tubular epithelial cells (TECs). (A) After isolation of TECs from transgenic mice, doxycycline (DOX) was added to the media or not (control), and HIF-2α induction in TECs by DOX was confirmed by western blotting and immunofluorescent staining (n = 3). (B) In RT-qPCR for the mRNA (n = 3). qPCRs were performed 3 to 4 times with RNA isolated lysates derived from 3 independent cell culture experiments. The cropped blots are displayed; full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 5. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 vs. controls; # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, and ### P < 0.001 between the two groups; bar graphs show mean ± SEM. Scale bars, 20 μm.
