Activated HIF-1α with its increased protein expression in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. (A) DNA-binding activity of HIF-1α in the nuclear fraction in the pre- and post-heartbeat groups (N = 6). (B,C) Representative images of Western blots (B) and densitometry (C) of HIF-1α, HIF-1β, PHD1, and pVHL in the pre- and post-heartbeat group (N = 5–6). (D,E) Representative images of Western blots (D) and densitometry (E) of PHD2 in the pre- and post-heartbeat groups (N = 6). (F) Relative gene expression levels of HIF-1α, VHL, and PHD2 that were obtained by microarray analysis in the pre- and post-heartbeat groups. *p < 0.05 with Welch's t-test. N.S.: not significant. Full-length blots/gels are presented in Supplementary Figure S1.
