Fig. 6From: Decrease of Nibrin expression in chronic hypoxia is associated with hypoxia-induced chemoresistance in some brain tumour cellsChronic hypoxia reduces ATM activation after etoposide treatment. D283-MED cells were pre-incubated in 21% O2, 1% O2 or 0.1% O2 prior to treatment with 20 μM etoposide for 4 h, or cells were left untreated as a control. Levels of ATM and ATM serine 1981 phosphorylation were determined using 3 independent western blots. The plots represent the densitometry of a representative western blot (a) measured using Image JBack to article page
