Fig. 3From: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease have increased DNA damage and reduced angiogenesis that can be modified by hypoxiaUpregulation of gene expression of AMSCs under hypoxia in both RVD and healthy individuals: hypoxia upregulated pro-survival genes (CDKN1A, HMOX1, TMEM45A, CA9, SLC2A1/ GLUT1, and the autophagy regulatory gene BNIP3) (a). Hypoxia upregulated pro-angiogenic genes (ANGPTL4 and VEGF-a) (b) and (STC1, STC2, and FGF2) (c). RVD renovascular diseaseBack to article page
