Expression of signaling molecules associated with cellular invasiveness including integrins and Rho GTPases under hypoxia. (a) Protein expression levels of integrins and phosphorylated FAK under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. (b) The expression levels of RhoA, ROCK1, Rac1/2/3, and phosphorylated Rac1/cdc42. GAPDH was used as the loading control. (compared with normoxic group). ITGA4: integrin ; ITGA5: integrin ; ITGB7: integrin ; p-FAK: phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase; pRac1/cdc42: phosphorylated Rac1/cdc42.
