Hypoxic induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human epithelial cells is mediated by increases in mRNA stability

Abstract

Vessel growth is often associated with ischemia. VEGF, a potent angiogenic factor, has been shown to be induced by low oxygen concentrations. These studies were conducted to investigate the molecular basis of the hypoxia‐induced increase in VEGF mRNA. Run‐on analysis of VEGF revealed a minimal increase in the rate of gene transcription in a human retinal epithelial cell line grown under hypoxic conditions. Examination of VEGF mRNA stability revealed that the half‐life of VEGF transcripts under normoxia was short, 30–45 min, but was dramatically increased to 6–8 h in cells grown under hypoxia. Cobalt chloride, which elevates VEGF and has been suggested to be similar to hypoxia in its mechanism of action, had only a slight effect on decay rate. We postulate that hypoxia‐induced increases in mRNA stability provide the sustained increases in VEGF mRNA levels necessary to support a neovascular response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
