PG - 1594-607 LID - S0925-4439(16)30140-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbadis.2016.05.023 [doi] AB - Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a major cause of vision loss in many retinal diseases. Hypoxia is determined to be a key inducer of CNV and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is an important transcription factor. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the synthesis of proangiogenic cytokines make great contributions to the development of CNV. In the present study, the role of HIF-1alpha signaling in the regulation of angiogenin (ANG) expression and EMT in hypoxic retinal pigment epithelial cells was investigated. A significant elevation expression of ANG expression level in a mouse model of laser-induced CNV was demonstrated. In a hypoxic model of ARPE-19, an increased expression level of ANG and induction of EMT accompanied with stabilization and nucleus translocation of HIF-1alpha. Blockage of HIF-1alpha signaling resulted in inhibition of high expression of ANG and EMT features. The direct interaction between HIF-1alpha and ANG promoter region was identified by ChIP-qPCR. The association of RNase 4 mRNA level with HIF-1alpha signaling was also clarified in APRE-19. Moreover, the exogenous ANG translocated into the nucleus, enhanced 45S rRNA transcription, promoted cell proliferation and tube formation in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells. In conclusion, the hypoxic conditions regulate the expression of ANG and EMT via an activation of HIF-1alpha signaling. It provides molecular evidence for potential therapy strategies of treating CNV. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
