Fig. 4. Immunohistochemical and immunoblot analyses showing increased expression of HIF1{alpha} in the affected Sox17+/--Sox18-/- livers at P7. (A,B) Anti-HIF1{alpha} staining of Sox18-/- (+/+) and affected Sox17+/--Sox18-/- (+/-) livers at P7. White and black arrowheads indicates HIF1{alpha}-positive and HIF1{alpha}-negative hepatocytes, respectively. (B) Magnified images of respective panels in A. (C) Immunoblot analysis of Sox18-/- (left), mild Sox17+/--Sox18-/- (middle) and severe Sox17+/--Sox18-/- (right) livers at P7 (two independent samples in each group), showing increased expression of HIF1{alpha} in the Sox17+/--Sox18-/- livers in a phenotype-dependent manner. Numbers indicate relative HIF1{alpha} expression levels normalized to ACTIN level ± standard error (amount of HIF1{alpha} in the Sox18-/- liver is set as 1.0; n=3). Bar, 50 µm.
