Figure Lengend Snippet: Overexpression Sohlh2 inhibited cell proliferation and angiogenesis of HCC through the downregulation of the HIF-1α/VEGF pathway. (A-B) CCK8 assay of HepG2 and Hep3B cells. (C-D) Angiogenesis was evaluated using tube formation assay. Immunofluorescence experiments detected the expression of HIF-1α (E-F) and CD31 (G-H) in HepG2 and Hep3B cells. Western blot was used to determine the HIF-1α and VEGFA proteins in HepG2 (I) and Hep3B (J) cells. The protein bands were analyzed by Image J software. Magnification: 200 ×; Scale bar: 50 μm. Data were presented as the mean ± standard deviation, and differences between groups were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, N=3.
