Malat1 gene expression in HUVECs and HK-2 cells is transcriptionally activated by HIF-1α (=HIF1a). Upstream promoter region of Malat1 spanning 5 kb from the transcriptional start site (TSS) identifies 1 putative Hypoxia Response Elements (HRE) and 2 HIF1 ancillary sequence in mice as well as 1 putative Hypoxia Response Elements (HRE) and 1 HIF1 ancillary sequence in humans (A). Transcriptional activation of HIF-1α in hypoxic HUVECs (B) and HK-2 cells (E) detected by transcriptional activation ELISA (n = 4). qPCR of Malat1 primer amplifying the HIF-1α– promoter region after immunoprecipitation of hypoxic HUVECs (C) and HK-2 cells (F) (n = 5). Malat1 expression after Dimethyloxaloylglycin (DMOG) treatment of HUVECs (D) and HK-2 cells (G) for 24 h. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. ChIP = Chromatin immunoprecipitation, HIF-1α = Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, TSS = Transcriptional Start Site.
