Possible participation of autocrine and paracrine vascular endothelial growth factors in hypoxia-induced proliferation of endothelial cells and pericytes
Hypoxia is the principal factor that causes angiogenesis. These experiments were conducted to explore how it induces the proliferation of vascular cells, a key step in angiogenesis. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells and bovine retinal pericytes were grown in controlled atmosphere culture chambers containing various concentrations of oxygen. The numbers of both endothelial cells and pericytes increased significantly under hypoxic conditions; the O2 concentrations that achieved maximal growth promotion were 10% for endothelial cells and 2.5% for pericytes. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that mRNAs coding for the secretory forms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a mitogen specific to endothelial cells, were present in both endothelial cells and pericytes and that their levels increased significantly in the two cell types as the atmospheric O2 concentration decreased. The two genes for VEGF receptors, kinase insert domain-con
