Fig. 6From: Ascorbic acid and ascorbate-2-phosphate decrease HIF activity and malignant properties of human melanoma cellsEffect of AA and A2P on EDHB induced HIF-1 transcriptional activity in melanoma cells. WM9 metastatic melanoma cells were transiently transfected with an HIF-1 HRE-luciferase reporter vector. Transfected cells were treated for 24 h with 750 μM EDHB in the presence of a 2.5, 5.0, 10 or 25 μM AA or b 2.5, 5.0, 10 or 25 μM A2P. HIF-1 transcriptional activity was measured by luciferase assay. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of n = 3, analyzed by One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; * denotes significant difference from control, p < 0.0001, # denotes significant difference from EDHB treatment alone, p < 0.0001Back to article page
