To validate the effect of YC-1, a HIF-1α inhibitor (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), cells were cultured with 100 μM YC-1 for 24 h in CoCl2-induced hypoxic conditions and HIF-1α nuclear localization was assessed. Next, to investigate whether HIF-1α regulated collagen type I (COL1) gene expression in our system, we treated cells cultured in CoCl2-induced hypoxic conditions (12-well plates, 3 × 105 cells/cm2) with 100 μM YC-1 for 24 h. COL1 gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR.
