Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) qRT-PCR results presenting the effect of hypoxic-stress caused by CoCl 2 treatment (+CoCl 2 , throughout the figures) on the transcription of representative HIGs, p21 , ALDOC , and IL1 β, in SH-SY5Y cells (n= 3 biologically independent samples). An equal amount of H 2 O, the solvent for CoCl 2 , was applied as the control (–CoCl 2 , throughout the figures). Data are presented as mean values and SD. P -values for the bar graphs were calculated with the unpaired, one sided Student’s t-test. (B) Representative ChIP-PCR results showing HIF1α and TOP2B occupancies on the representative HIGs, p21 , ALDOC , and IL1 β under normoxia and hypoxia in SH-SY5Y cells. (C) Representative ChIP-PCR results showing TOP2A occupancy on the representative HIGs, p21 , ALDOC , and IL1 β under normoxia and hypoxia in SH-SY5Y cells. (D) Representative ICE assay results showing the TOP2A and TOP2B proteins engaged with the chromosomal DNA under normoxia and hypoxia, with or without etoposide treatment (+Eto, 50 μM, 1 h; –Eto, DMSO). Three dots per –CoCl 2 or +CoCl 2 set are 22, 44, and 66 ng genomic DNA (chromosome) loaded onto nitrocellulose membrane, followed by immunoblotting using TOP2A or TOP2B antibody. (E) qRT-PCR results indicating that under hypoxic stresses, inhibiting TOP2B using etoposide and ICRF193 stimulates transcription at the representative HIGs, p21 , ALDOC , and IL1 β (n= 3 biologically independent samples). Data are presented as mean values and SEM. P -values for the bar graphs were obtained through one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons.
Article Snippet: HCT116 or SH-SY5Y cell extracts were prepared using a RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) in the presence of freshly added protease inhibitors [1 mM benzamidine, 0.25 mM PMSF, 1 mM Na-metabisulfite, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT); chemicals purchased from Sigma].
