Figure 4. Effects of AMPK{alpha}1 silencing on cell proliferation and AMPK{alpha}1 and HIF-1{alpha} expression. RPC-C2A cells were transfected with control siRNA or siRNA against AMPK{alpha}1, and incubated for 48 hrs. (A) Expression of AMPK{alpha}1 protein was analyzed by Western blotting. (B) Cells were then incubated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions for an additional 24 hrs. Cell proliferation was analyzed by WST-1 reduction assay, and is expressed as percentage of control. Data represent means ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05. (C) After transfection, cells were incubated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions for an additional 4 hrs. Expression of HIF-1{alpha} protein was analyzed by Western blotting. N, normoxic conditions; H, hypoxic conditions.
