Propranolol downregulates HIF-dependent transcription in HeLa cells. a Schematic structure of 9XHRE-luc reporter. b HIF-dependent transcription in HeLa reporter cell line. Luciferase assays were performed in HRE-luc-stably transfected HeLa cells under hypoxic conditions and propranolol treatment. Propranolol (50–100 μM) prevented hypoxia stimulation in HeLa cells, as shown by the decrease in luciferase activity, by inhibiting the activation of hypoxia elements (HRE) by HIF. ***P < 0.005
