Expression profiles of HIF1A-AS2 in VC (cocultured V-hUCMSCs) and the association between HIF1A-AS2 and the HIF-1 signaling pathway in VC. HIF1A-AS2 expression in V and VC was analyzed by qRT-PCR. The levels of HIF1A-AS2 in VC were normalized to that in V (A). Relative HIF1A-AS2 expression in VC transfected with HIF1A-AS2 siRNAs (B). Relative mRNA expression of genes involved in the Hif-1 signaling pathway in HIF1A-AS2-deficient VC was analyzed by qRT-PCR. (C–E) The relative level of gene expression was normalized against β-actin, and the control was set to 1.0. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD (***P < 0.001). VEGFA, Hif-1α, and CD31 protein expression in HIF1A-AS2-deficient VC was assessed by western blot (F).
