Abstract :

Deleterious events for islet engraftment are related to insufficient islets revascularisation inducing �² cells death. HIF-1�± is involved in various survival molecular pathways like cell proliferation and angiogenesis whereas for a chronic stabilization, it induces apoptosis. Prolyl-hydroxylase 3 (PHD3) mediates the degradation of HIF1�± under normal oxygen conditions. It could be interesting to find the best level of HIF-1�± expression in islets inhibiting PHD3 to induce angiogenesis while limiting apoptosis. The aim of this work was to realize a proof of concept of a new strategy of angiogenesis stimulation inhibiting PHD3 expression using siRNA on �²-cell lines. RINm5F �²-cells were lipofected (Lipofectamine RNAiMax) or not with 50 �¼M of siPHD3. Apoptosis was determined using Apo-ONE�® Homogeneous Caspase-3/7 Assay, PHD3 expression by western blotting and VEGF secretion using Elisa kit 48 and 72 hours after lipofection. Caspase 3/7 activity is reduced with siPHD3, 48h (Control: 450�±18 RFU; siPHD3: 155�±12 RFU, p<0.001) and 72h post lipofection (Control: 689�±10 RFU; siPHD3: 213�±21 RFU, p<0.001). A significant decrease of PHD3 protein expression was observed using siPHD3 validating the efficiency of our approach (Control 48h: 0.48�±0.15 and siPHD3: 0.14�±0.03 PHD3 protein expression/�²-actin; p<0.01). Finally, siPHD3 shown a significant pro-angiogenic effect increasing VEGF secretion 72h post lipofection (Control: 9837�±470 and siPHD3: 17306�±2118 pg/mg of protein; p<0.05). Inhibition of PHD3 using siRNA, decreases apoptosis and increases VEGF secretion in RINm5F cells. Thus, modulation of HIF-1�± expression using lipofection of siRNA could increase islet vascularization and could be a realistic approach to improve graft survival.
