P4HA1 enhances HIF-1α protein stability. a, b Analysis of HIF-1α protein degradation in control and shP4HA1-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells with cycloheximide (CHX, 100 μM) treatment (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 min). Results are presented as mean ± SEM. n = 3; *p < 0.05, independent Student’s t test. c, d Analysis of HIF-1α protein degradation in control and shP4HA1-transfected 293FT cells with cycloheximide (CHX, 100 μM) treatment (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 min). e Immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis of HIF-1α ubiquitination in 293FT cells transfected with HIF-1α-Flag and UB-HA construct, plus shCtrl or shP4HA1 plasmids. f Western blot assessing HIF-1α protein levels in control and P4HA1-silenced MDA-MB-231 cells treated with proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib (BTZ) for 12 h. g Analysis of hydroxylated HIF-1α (P402) levels in control and P4HA1-silenced MDA-MB-231 cells, control or P4HA1-expressing MCF10A cells. h, i ODD-luciferase reporter activity in control, P4HA1-expressing MCF10A cells, and P4HA1-silenced MDA-MB-231 cells under normoxia and hypoxia conditions. Results are presented as mean ± SEM; n = 3; **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA test. j HIF-1α protein levels were assessed in control and P4HA1-silenced MDA-MB-231 cells with wild-type HIF-1α or proline hydroxylation-deficient HIF-1α PPAA overexpression.
