Figure Lengend Snippet: pVHL mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of CYP1B1. A and B Assessment of CYP1B1 mRNA and protein levels in ACHN cells with stable VHL knockdown and 786O and OSRC2 cells with stable VHL overexpression via western blotting and RT‒qPCR. C Coimmunoprecipitation of ACHN cell whole-cell lysates with CYP1B1, pVHL or IgG antibodies, followed by western blotting with the respective antibodies. D 293T and 786O cells were transfected with Flag-CYP1B1 and His-pVHL plasmids. Coimmunoprecipitation with CYP1B1, pVHL or IgG antibodies was followed by western blotting with the indicated antibodies. E GST affinity-isolation assays with purified tagged pVHL and CYP1B1 proteins, followed by western blotting analysis. F Cotransfection of 293T and ACHN cells with VHL and CYP1B1 overexpression plasmids and subsequent immunofluorescence staining with anti-pVHL and anti-CYP1B1 antibodies. Scale bar: 10 μm. G Protein synthesis inhibition via CHX (10 μM) in 786O cells with VHL overexpression and ACHN cells with VHL knockdown; CYP1B1 protein levels were assessed by western blotting at specified time points. H and I Treatment of 786O and ACHN cells with VHL overexpression or knockdown plasmids, followed by exposure to DMSO, chloroquine (CQ, 10 μM), or MG132 (20 μM) for 8 hours; CYP1B1 protein levels were analysed by western blotting. J and K Immunoprecipitation of cells with anti-Flag CYP1B1 antibodies, followed by western blotting with the indicated antibodies (ns, not significant; **, p < 0.01).
