Public Library of Science 2012 cx43 2012-02-23 01:53:00 Figure https://plos.figshare.com/articles/figure/_Effect_of_silencing_Cx43_on_the_expression_of_HIF_1_945_in_astrocytes_/346780 <p>Astrocytes were transfected with NT-siRNA or with Cx43-siRNA. At the indicated times the expression of HIF-1α and Cx43 was analysed by Western blot. <b>A</b>) Representative Western blot of HIF-1α, Cx43 and GAPDH showing that the decrease in Cx43 expression was concomitant with HIF-1α up-regulation. <b>B</b>) HIF-1α quantification. <b>C</b>) Cx43 quantification. The results are expressed as percentages of the level found in the NT-siRNA condition at time 0. ***p<0.001 versus the corresponding NT-siRNA values.</p>
