EMP2 expression modulates HIF1α and VEGF protein expression. (A, B) Analysis of HIF1α or VHL protein expression in WT, shRNA control (shCTRL), OE, shRNA KD #1, and shRNA KD#2 ARPE-19 cells under normoxic or hypoxic (0.5% O2 for 2–4 h) conditions, respectively. Quantification of protein expression under hypoxic conditions was determined using the LI-Cor Odyssey FC machine with images visualized using Image Studio software (Ver. 5.2). Expression of HIF1α or VHL was normalized to beta actin, for a minimum of 3 independent replicates. Bar diagrams depict mean values and standard error of the mean. Statistical significance was established using Student’s t-test (unpaired, two-tailed) for HIF1a or a one-way ANOVA for pVHL. Original, uncropped blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S3.
