Cover Story: Hypoxic stress upregulates genes essential for angiogenesis, such as VEGF-A. Concomitantly with VEGF-A expression, a long isoform called L-VEGF is expressed. Once translated, L-VEGF is proteolytically cleaved to generate N-VEGF and VEGF-A. While VEGF-A is secreted and stimulates angiogenesis in surrounding cells, N-VEGF is mobilized to the nucleus, and its function is unknown. In this study, we found that the mere expression of N-VEGF followed by its hypoxia-independent mobilization to the nucleus was sufficient to induce key angiogenic genes, such as Hif1α and VEGF-A isoforms, as well as genes associated with cell survival under hypoxia. When N-VEGF was genetically depleted, key hypoxia-induced genes were downregulated, and cells were significantly susceptible to hypoxia-mediated apoptosis. View this paper.
