However, in contrast to LPS treatment, exposure of MC-38 colon carcinoma cells to hypoxia for 0.5 to 4 hours did not induce nuclear translocation of p65/RelA as shown by immunofluorescence (Figure 3A) and immunoblotting of nuclear extracts (Figure 3B), although HIF-1α proteins levels were stabilized under these conditions (Figure 1B). The gene discussed is RELA; the disease is colon carcinoma.
