Hypoxia increases intracellular ROS levels. (A) Representative cropped immunoblot (left) and densitometry analysis (right) of HIF1α protein levels in MDA-MB-468 cells exposed to hypoxia (6 h) compared to normoxic cells (full-lenght immunoblot is shown in the Supplementary Fig. S2). (B) CA9 mRNA levels in normoxic and hypoxic (24 h) cells were assessed using real time RT-PCR. (C) Intracellular levels of ROS measured by DCF-DA assay in cells exposed to hypoxia (12 h) compared to control cells (remained in normoxia). Graphs represent the mean ± SD for three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 (unpaired t-test).
