Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Rescue of GLS1 clustering by DMOG treatment is reversed by HIF2 α but not HIF1 α knockout (KO) in HUVECs. Correlation coefficient ( r ) for GLS1 (red) and COX IV (green) is shown on the right. ( B ) Western blotting analysis showing the validation of HIF1 α KO and HIF2 α KO in HUVECs. gRNAs are numbered 1–4 on top. V, vector. HIF1 α gRNA1 and HIF2 α gRNA2 were selected in the assays. ( C ) qPCR analysis showing the validation of DMOG and HIF2α transcriptional inhibitors in HUVECs. HIF1α target genes: LDHA , HK2 , ENO1 , and PDK1 . HIF2α target genes: VEGFA and DLL4 . ( D ) No reversal of the DMOG-induced GLS1 redistribution by inhibitors targeting the transcriptional activity of HIF2α. ( E ) Rescue of noQ-induced cell death by DMOG treatment in HUVECs. *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001 by 1-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc testing. Scale bars: 10 μm ( A and D ) and 100 μm ( E ).
