Fig. 4From: Effects of hypoxia inducible factor-1α on apoptotic inhibition and glucocorticoid receptor downregulation by dexamethasone in AtT-20 cellsDownregulation of GR by dexamethasone under hypoxia conditions was HIF-1α-dependent. Under normoxia or hypoxic incubation for 12h, mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α (a,c), GR (b,c) in cells transfected with HIF-1α-siRNA compared to nontransfected cells after dexamethasone treatment (24h).
