Fig. 3. Subcellular distribution of RhoA and Cdc42 proteins during hypoxia. After
hypoxic treatment, renal cell carcinoma were fractionated into soluble and
crude membrane fractions by centrifugation at 100,000 g for 1
hour. Each fraction (20 µg of protein) was separated by SDS-PAGE then
immunodetected using Cdc42 (A) and RhoA antibodies (B). Densitometric analysis
of both GTPases was carried out for soluble (
) and membrane (
)
fractions. Means ± s.e.m. are shown from three independent experiments
relative to samples from normoxic cells. Significant differences
(P<0.05) from normoxia are indicated by asterisks (*).
