From: Hypoxia-mediated apoptosis in oral carcinoma cells occurs via two independent pathways
Response of apoptosis-related proteins to hypoxia. Western blot analysis of 686Tu (Tu) or 686Ln (Ln) cell extracts (30 μg each lane) after 24 or 48 hours of hypoxia (H) or normoxia (N) treatment. A: Cleavage of procaspase-3 (32 kD) into a 20 and 11 kD species; B: Cleavage of procaspase-8 (55 kD) into the 32 kD product (23 kD product not shown); C: Cleavage of procaspase-9 (47 kD) into lower mol. weight products; D: Processing of PARP (113 kD) into the typical 89 kD protein and a lower molecular weight product (not shown); E: cytochrome C (15 kD) release into cytosolic fraction; F: Re-probing for β-actin as an internal loading control. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments with similar results.
