  1. Cells were transfected with 50 nM HIF-1α siRNA or non-targeting siRNA for 24 hours. They were then incubated under normoxic (N) or hypoxic (H) conditions with or without etoposide (e, 50 μM) for 16 hours before RNA extraction, reverse-transcription and cDNA hybridization, as described in Materials and Methods. Each value is the average of three ratio values calculated from three independent experiments. Mean ratios indicate a fold-increase or decrease in gene expression.
  2. Value higher than 1 + 1 SD, Value lower than 1 – 1 SD, * p < 0.05 vs He
