Effect of Trolox and Tempol on hypoxia-induced N-cadherin and SERPINE1 expression and EGFR activation. MDA-MB-468 cells were treated with Trolox (10 and 100 µM) and Tempol (0.1 and 1 mM) and placed under hypoxic conditions for 24 h. The mRNA levels of N-cadherin and SERPINE1 following Trolox (A) and Tempol (B) treatments were assessed using real time RT-PCR. Levels of EGFR phosphorylation (normalised to β-actin and total EGFR) following Trolox (C) and Tempol (D) treatments were assessed using immunoblotting (representative cropped immunoblots are shown in the figure; full-lenght immunoblots are shown in the Supplementary Fig. S2). ns = not significant (p > 0.05), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (one-way ANOVA, with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). Graphs represent the mean ± SD for three independent experiments.
