Phd2 deletion induced HIF target and glucose uptake changes. a Phd2 regulated gene expression in mouse melanomas. Quantitative RT-PCR assay for Phd2, CAIX, VEGFA, GLUT1, PGK, PGM and LDHA mRNA expression in Tyr::CreER; BRafV600E; Phd2−/− mice melanoma tissues (n = 3 replicate experiments; *p < 0.01 compared with Tyr::CreER; BRafV600E; Phd2−/+ or Tyr::CreER; BRafV600E; Pten−/− mouse melanoma tissues). β-Actin is used as loading control. b Phd2 regulated protein expression in mouse melanomas. Expression of Phd2, HIF-1α, VEGFA, pAkt and Akt protein was determined by western blot analysis in Tyr::CreER; BRafV600E; Phd2−/−, Tyr::CreER; BRafV600E; Phd2-/+ and Tyr::CreER; BRafV600E; Pten−/− mouse melanoma tissues (n = 3 replicate experiments). β-Actin was used as a loading control. c Uptake of a fluorescent deoxyglucose analog (2-NBDG) is increased in Phd2−/− mouse melanoma cells. The 2-NBDG uptake assay was performed using BRafV600E; Phd2−/− or BRafV600E; Pten−/− mouse melanoma cells (left panel) (n = 3 replicate experiments). Quantity of 2-NBDG uptake is assessed in these mice (right panel) (n = 3 replicate experiments, *p < 0.05). d HIF inhibition reverses Phd2 deletion-induced glucose uptake increase. 2-NBDG uptake is assessed in FM19G11-treated BRafV600E; Phd2−/− melanoma cells (n = 3 replicate experiments, *p < 0.05 compared with control group). e Knockdown of HIF-1α reverses Phd2 deletion-induced glucose uptake increase. 2-NBDG uptake is assessed in BRafV600E; Phd2−/− melanoma with HIF-1α knockdown (n = 3 replicate experiments, *p < 0.05 compared with control group). One way ANOVA or t-test was used for statistical analysis and error bars indicate s.d.
