Because
HIF signals cells to produce VEGF, the researchers wondered whether deleting HIF in amacrine and horizontal cells would also stop the pipeline of VEGF and normal intermediate layer blood vessel development.

The research team demonstrated that even when produced directly in
cells, this molecule still prevents the
HIF - 1
signalling and the associated adaptation to hypoxia in these
cells.
Most importantly, when the team disabled the
HIF - 1α cellular alarm, BMP
signaling in human FOP bone progenitor
cells was restored to levels comparable to
cells in normal oxygen.
But, it was known that when
HIF - 1 normally activates
signals in the body to build new vessels, one of the many types of
cells recruited to the site of new vessel growth is a population of stem
cells from the bone marrow, which are called bone marrow - derived angiogenic
cells.
MicroRNA - 138 inhibits hypoxia - induced proliferation of endothelial progenitor
cells via inhibition of
HIF - 1a - mediated MAPK and AKT
signaling.
We showed that a chronic oxidative stress accelerates aging through accumulation of
HIF (Hypoxia - Inducible Factor) and modulation of insulin
signaling (Gerald,
Cell, 2004; Laurent,
Cell Metabolism, 2008).
