Cordyceps sinensis Increases Hypoxia Tolerance by Inducing Heme Oxygenase-1 and Metallothionein via Nrf2 Activation in Human Lung Epithelial Cells
Figure 8
Immunoblot analysis of HIF1 (a) and HIF1 regulated genes, namely, EPO (b), GLUT1 (c), and VEGF (d) in A549 cells following hypoxia (0.5 % O2) exposure for 48 h. The treatment of cells with Cordyceps sinensis increased levels of HIF1, EPO, GLUT1, and VEGF following hypoxia exposure. The figures are representative of three independent experiments. These were normalized with β-actin (e) to observe any change in expression.
