doi: 10.7150/ijbs.103122
Figure Lengend Snippet: HA induces tolerance to high temperatures via the HIF-1α/HSP70 signaling. A & B. The bEnd.3 cells were exposed to 40℃ for 2 h daily, continuously for 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of Hif-1α and Hspa1a mRNA. C. WB was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α, HSP90AA1, and HSP70 protein. β-actin was used as an internal control. D. IF was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α and HSP70 protein. E. WB was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α and HSP70 protein. β-actin was used as an internal control. F. bEnd.3 HA cells were exposed to HS for 4 h and treated with LW6, VER-155088, or a combination of both. Cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 assay. G. bEnd.3 HA cells were exposed to HS for 4 h and treated with si- Hif-1α , si- Hspa1a , or a combination of both. Cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 assay. H. Flow cytometry with Annexin V and PI staining was used to determine the apoptotic index of cells. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001.
