SAHA represses HIF-1α induction in response to hypoxic mimics.

<p>(<b>A</b>) Immunoblot analysis of HIF-1α, p53 and GAPDH protein expression from cell lysates following treatment of HuH7 cells with 5 µM SAHA, DMSO, DMSO+150 µM cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) or SAHA+150 µM cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) for 24 h. (<b>B</b>) Immunoblot analysis of HIF-1α, p53 and GAPDH protein expression from cell lysates following treatment of HuH7 cells with 5 µM SAHA, DMSO, DMSO+500 µM dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG) or SAHA+500 µM dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG) for 24 h. (<b>C</b>) Immunoblot analysis of HIF-1α, p53 and GAPDH protein expression from cell lysates following treatment of HuH7 cells with 5 µM SAHA or DMSO for 24 h in the presence or absence of 100 µM desferrioxamine (DFO) for 18 h. (<b>D</b>) Immunoblot analysis of HIF-1α, p53, HDAC7 and GAPDH protein expression from cell lysates following treatment of HuH7 cells after SAHA treatment at the indicate concentration is shown in combination with 50 µM MG132 for 4 h. (<b>E</b>) and Hep3B cells with 5 µM SAHA or DMSO for 24 h in the presence or absence of 50 µM MG132 for 4 h. (<b>F</b>) Immunoblot analysis of HIF-1α, p53, HDAC7 and GAPDH protein expression as well as the splicing of LC3 following treatment of HuH7 cells with 5 µM SAHA or DMSO for 24 h in the presence or absence of 50 µM MG132 for 4 h. (<b>G</b>) Immunoblot analyses of HIF-1α, p53 as well as the splicing of LC3 following treatment of HuH7 cells with 50 µM MG132+5 µM SAHA or DMSO in presence or absence of 10 mM ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) for 8 h. In all panels GAPDH is used as loading control and HDAC7 is used as control to SAHA treatment.
