HIF-1α silencing abolishes HT-dependent GLUT-1 upregulation but not AM and VEGF induction. (a) Representative immunoblot of HIF-1α knockdown with different concentrations of siHIF-1α. Effect of HIF-1α –silencing (siHIF-1α 40 nM) on the transcription level of (b) GLUT-1, (c) AM and (d) VEGF in hypoxic cells after treatment with HT 100 and 200 μM. Results are expressed as mRNA levels relative to Scr hypoxic cells after normalization against PPIA. Values represent the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. Statistically significant differences with the corresponding Scr-siRNA transfected hypoxic cells: ap < 0.05, aap < 0.01. Statistically significant differences with the corresponding HIF-1α-silenced cells: bp < 0.05, bbp < 0.01. Statistically significant differences with the corresponding HT treated-non-silenced cells: cp < 0.05, ccp < 0.01, cccp < 0.001.
