Abstract

Objective: Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1$alpha$) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are involved in signaling mechanisms of cellular responses to hypoxia. These factors have been investigated in tissue samples by simulating different altitudes by changing the percentage of oxygen. We aimed first to evaluate the effect of normobaric, systemic hypoxia (11% O2) on HIF-1$alpha$ and VEGF mRNA levels in the heart muscle; secondly, to compare the levels of HIF-1$alpha$ and VEGF mRNA in the left and right ventricle muscles. Methods: In this experimental study, 33 New Zealand male rabbits were assigned to control, acute hypoxia (4 hours) and intermittent hypoxia (4 hours/day for 14 days) groups (n=11/group). Total RNA was isolated from right and left ventricles of the heart. The expressions of HIF-1$alpha$ and VEGF mRNAs were investigated by using Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method. The obtained data were compared by using ANOVA and paired t-test. Results: The results indicated that left ventricle VEGF mRNA expressions in both acute and intermittent hypoxia groups (1.08±0.15 and 1.03±0.19, respectively) were higher than that in the control group (0.88±0.15) (p=0.03). Hypoxia treatments did not significantly alter HIF-1$alpha$ mRNA in both ventricles (p=0.60 and p=0.51 for left and right ventricles, respectively). Conclusion: Since systemic hypoxia results in induction of VEGF mRNA up-regulation only in left ventricle, it could be related to its higher metabolic activity and oxygen utilization. Hypoxia induced changes in the expression of HIF-1$alpha$ mRNA may not be the only determining factor for HIF-1/VEGF pathway induction or the observed VEGF induction could be through other hypoxia sensitive pathways.

Özet

Amaç: Hipoksi ile indüklenen faktör -1 alfa (HIF-1$alpha$) ve vasküler endotel büyüme faktörü (VEGF) hipoksiye hücresel yanıtın sinyal mekanizmasında yer alırlar. Bu faktörler, oksijen yüzdesi değiştirilerek ve böylece farklı yükseklikler simüle edilerek doku örneklerinde çalışılmaktadır. Biz, öncelikle normobarik, sistemik hipoksinin (%11 O2) kalp dokusunda HIF-1$alpha$ ve VEGF mRNA’sı üzerine etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. İkinci olarak sol ve sağ ventriküldeki HIF-1$alpha$ ve VEGF mRNA seviyelerini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Bu deneysel çalışmada 33 New Zealand erkek tavşan kontrol, akut hipoksi (4 saat) ve aralıklı hipoksi (4 saat/gün, 14 gün) gruplarına ayrıldı (n=11/grup). Bütün RNA, kalbin sağ ve sol ventriküllerinden ayrıştırıldı. HIF-1$alpha$ ve VEGF mRNA ekspresyonları RT-PCR yöntemi kullanılarak araştırıldı. Elde edilen bulgular ANOVA ve eşleştirilmiş t-testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Bulgulara göre sol ventrikül VEGF mRNA ekspresyonları hem akut, hem de aralıklı hipoksi gruplarında kontrol grubundakine göre yüksekti (sırasıyla 1.08±0.15 ve 1.03±0.19) (p=0.03). Hipoksi uygulamaları her iki ventrikülde de HIF-1$alpha$ mRNA’sını anlamlı ölçüde değiştirmedi (sol ventrikülde p=0.60, sağ ventrikülde p=0.51). Sonuç: Sistemik hipoksinin yalnızca sol ventrikülde VEGF mRNA up-regülasyonunu tetiklemesi sol ventrikülün yüksek metabolik aktivitesi ve oksijen kullanımı ile ilişkili olabilir. HIF-1$alpha$ mRNA ekspresyonunda hipoksinin tetiklediği değişimler, HIF-1/VEGF yolağının uyarılmasında tek belirleyici faktör olmayabilir ya da gözlenen VEGF tetiklenmesi hipoksiye duyarlı diğer yolaklar aracılığı ile olabilir.
