Inhibition of HIF-1α down-regulates survivin expression in EoL-1 cells. (A) Cells were treated with wogonin and incubated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions for 4 hours. HIF-1α, PARP, caspase-3 and survivin protein expression was detected. Survivin expression was up-regulated in EoL-1 cells under hypoxia. Wogonin decreases HIF-1α and down-regulates survivin expression in EoL-1 cells. (B) Survivin overexpression in EoL-1 cells delays cell apoptosis after wogonin treatment (C) EoL-1 and THP-1 cells transfected with 60 nM HIF-1α siRNA (si-HIF1α) or scrambled siRNA (Si-Cont) were incubated under normoxia or hypoxia for 8 hours. Cells were treated with 100 μM wogonin in hypoxic conditions. Cell lysates were prepared for immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. (D,E) EoL-1 and THP-1 cells stained with annexin-V and propidium iodide were subjected to flow cytometry. Cells were treated with 100 μM wogonin.
