Effect of EglN1 knockdown on smooth muscle expression

ABSTRACT: Ischemic preconditioning is the phenomenon whereby brief periods of sublethal ischemia protect against a subsequent, more prolonged, ischemic insult. In remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), ischemia to one organ protects other organs at a distance. We developed mouse models to ask if inhibition of EglN1, which senses oxygen and regulates the HIF transcription factor, could suffice to mediate local and remote ischemic preconditioning. We used microarrays to detail the global expression changes induced when the oxygen sensor EglN1 is genetically deleted from skeletal muscle cells. We also used microarrays to assess the transcriptome alterations that occur in mouse hearts with pharmacologic inhibition of EglN1, using the EglN inhibitor FG-4497. We generated mice with a tamoxifen-inducible
