BadA-dependent HIF-1 activation and secretion of proangiogenic cytokines. (a) HIF-1 activation detected by the use of a VEGF promoter luciferase reporter construct (pVEGF.4). HeLa cells were transfected before infection with B. henselae WT, Pil, BadA, and BadA/BadA+ WT. Activation was determined by chemiluminescence 36 h after infection. (b) Induction of VEGF secretion upon infection of HeLa cells. Supernatants were taken 48 h after infection and analyzed by ELISA. (c) BadA-dependent secretion of proangiogenic cytokines in Hela cells. Cells were infected with B. henselae WT and BadA, and the amount of secreted VEGF, IGFBP-3, ADM, and IL-8 was determined 8, 24, 48, and 72 h after infection by ELISA or RIA. *, significant difference compared with uninfected control (P < 0.01).
