Enhanced cell proliferation under hypoxic conditions is mediated by metabolic regulation. (a) Cell numbers after growth under hypoxic or normoxic conditions. *p < 0.05 compared to the normoxia group at each passage; n = 4 per group. (b) Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein expression after culture under hypoxic conditions. (c) Expression of genes related to glycolysis (GLUT1, HK2 and LDHA) and oxidative phosphorylation (PDK2, IDH1 and SDHA) after culture under hypoxic conditions. *p < 0.05 compared to the normoxia group at each passage; n = 4 per group. (d) Cell metabolism signaling protein expression after hypoxia treatment. (e) Expression of cyclin proteins following culture under hypoxic conditions. For all studies, ‘hypoxic conditions’ refers to incubation at 1% O2 for 72 hrs.
