Abstract

Macrophages accumulate in ischemic areas of such pathological tissues as solid tumors, atherosclerotic plaques and arthritic joints. Studies have suggested that hypoxia alters the phenotype of macrophages in a way that promotes these lesions. However, the genes up-regulated by macrophages in such hypoxic tissues are poorly characterized. Here, we have used cDNA array hybridization to investigate the effects of hypoxia on the mRNAs of 1185 genes in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages. As shown previously in other cell types, mRNA levels for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1) were up-regulated by hypoxia. However, the mRNAs of other genes were also up-regulated including matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), neuromedin B receptor, and the DNA-binding protein inhibitor, Id2. The promoters of GLUT-1 and MMP-7 confer hypoxic inducibility on a reporter gene in RAW 264.7 macrophages, indicating that the hypoxic up-regulation of these mRNAs may occur, at least in part, at the transcriptional level. GLUT-1 and MMP-7 mRNA were also shown to be up-regulated in hypoxic macrophages in vitro by real-time RT-PCR, and these proteins were elevated in hypoxic macrophages in vitro and in hypoxic areas of human breast tumors. The hypoxia up-regulated genes identified could be important for the survival and functioning of macrophages in hypoxic diseased tissues, and their promoters could prove useful in macrophage-delivered gene therapy.

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.
