Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate the molecular mechanism of Vitamin C (VC) on redox state and the mRNA transcription of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2/Flk-1) in broiler PASMCs under hypoxia condition through dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) and H2O2.This study executed on the basis of the culture of PASMCs and hypoxia model,included 3 experiments,VC and H2O2,VC and DMOG,VC and H2O2+DMOG,including 5 treatments with six replicates of each experiment.Compared with control group under normoxic and hypoxic,Exp.1 showed that VC significantly increased SOD to MDA ratio (P<0.05),and down-regulated the mRNA transcription of HIF-1α/ VEGF/ VEGFR2 (P<0.05);Exp.2 showed that DMOG significantly increased SOD to MDA ratio (P<0.05),and down-regulated the mRNA transcription of HIF-1α and VEGFR2 (P<0.05) respectively,but significantly up-regulated the mRNA transcription of VEGF (P<0.05),VC + DMOG significantly up-regulated the mRNA transcription of HIF-1α/VEGF/VEGFR2 (P<0.05);Exp.3 showed that VC+H2O2+DMOG markedly up-regulated the mRNA transcription of HIF-1α/VEGF/VEGFR2 (P<0.01).These results suggested that VC could increase cellular antioxidantive ability,and regulate the relative expression of hypoxia genes based on the activity of proline hydroxylase and the redox state of broiler PASMCs.
