Fig. 6. HIF1
depletion downregulates laminin-332. (A) Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of LAMA3 mRNA expression in HaCaT cells transfected with a nonrelevant siRNA (siCtrl) (grey) or a siRNA to HIF1
(siHIF1
) (black). Q-PCR analysis was performed using transfected cells either not wounded (NW) or harvested 6 hours after wounding (W). Results were obtained from three independent experiments performed in triplicate and are expressed as normalised LAMA3 mRNA `fold increase' relative to the siCtrl-transfected non-wounded cells (siCtrl-NW). (B) Immunofluorescence detection of HIF1
(green) and laminin-332 (red) in HaCaT cells transfected with the nonrelevant siCtrl, a siRNA to HIF1
or a siRNA targeting PHD2 (that stabilised and upregulated HIF1
expression). Cells transfected with the siPHD2 siRNA were not wounded. Cells were fixed 15 hours after either scratch wounding (Wounded) or CoCl2 treatment (Co2+ treated). Nuclei were stained using DAPI. Scale bar: 40 µm.
