Activation of the hypoxia‐inducible factor pathway and stimulation of angiogenesis by application of prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors
22 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF) mediate complex adaptations to reduced oxygen supply, including neoangiogenesis. Regulation of HIF occurs mainly through oxygen-dependent destruction of its alpha subunit. In the presence of oxygen, two HIFalpha prolyl residues undergo enzymatic hydroxylation, which is required for its proteasomal degradation. We therefore tested whether pharmacological activation of...
