Age-dependent Defect in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression Is Associated with Reduced Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1 Activity
Open accessAbstract
Previous studies have indicated that advanced age is associated with impaired angiogenesis in part because of reduced levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. To investigate potential mechanisms responsible for this age-dependent defect in VEGF expression, aortic smooth muscle cells isolated from young rabbits (ages 6-8 months) or old rabbits (ages 4-5 years) were exposed to normoxic (21% oxygen) or hypoxic (0.1% oxygen) conditions. Hypoxia-induced VEGF expression was significantly lower in old versus young cells. VEGF mRNA stability in hypoxic conditions was similar in both young and old cells. However, transient transfection with a luciferase reporter gene that was transcriptionally regulated by the VEGF promoter revealed a significant defect in VEGF up-regulation following hypoxia in old versus young cells (a 43 versus 117% increase in luciferase activity, p < 0.05); this difference was not seen when a deletion construct lacking the hypoxia-inducible 1 (HIF-1) binding site was used. Moreover, although HIF-1 alpha-mRNA expression was shown to be similar in young and old smooth muscle cells, HIF-1 alpha protein and DNA binding activity were significantly reduced in old versus young smooth muscle cells that were exposed to hypoxia. We propose that age-dependent reduction in hypoxia-induced VEGF expression results from reduced HIF-1 activity and may explain the previously described age-dependent impairment of angiogenesis in response to ischemia.

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.
