Leonurine increases VEGF expression in senescent HUVECs via activation of HIF-1α. (A) The effects of aging and leonurine on HIF-1α expression in HUVECs detected by Western-blot. (B) The effects of aging and leonurine on the binding of HIF-1α to VEGF gene promoters detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). (C,D) Leonuine restores the expresssions of HIF and VEGF compromised by myxothiazol, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex III. p < 0.05 vs. young group; ∗∗p < 0.01 vs. young group; ##p < 0.01 vs. senescent group. Data are mean ± SEM.
