purpose. The lens grows throughout life, and lens size is a major risk factor for nuclear and cortical cataracts. A previous study showed that the hypoxic environment around the lens suppressed lens growth in older rats. The present study was conducted to investigate the mechanism responsible for the age-dependent decline in lens cell proliferation.methods. Transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase in the lens were bred to mice containing floxed Hif1a alleles. Transgenic mice expressing oxygen insensitive forms of HIF-1α in lens epithelial cells were exposed to room air or 60% oxygen. Proliferation was measured by BrdU labeling and cell death by using the TUNEL assay. Morphology was assessed in histologic sections. HIF-1α and p27 KIP1 levels were determined by Western blot. The expression of HIF-regulated genes was assessed on microarrays.results. Lenses lacking Hif1a degenerated, precluding study in older animals. Breathing 60% oxygen reduced HIF-1α levels and HIF-1-regulated transcripts in lens epithelial cells from young and older lenses. Overexpression of oxygen-insensitive HIF-1α had no effect on lens size, but suppressed increased proliferation in response to oxygen. Systemic injection of the iron chelator, 1, 10-phenanthroline prevented the degradation of HIF-1α and reduced oxygen-induced proliferation. Increasing oxygen decreased levels of p27 KIP1 in the epithelial cells of older mice, which was prevented by expressing oxygen-insensitive forms of HIF-1α.conclusions. HIF-1α is present and HIF-1 is transcriptionally active throughout life, but suppresses growth only in older lenses. Maintaining elevated levels of p27 KIP1 in older lenses requires HIF-1. p27 KIP1 and other growth regulators may selectively suppress the proliferation of older lens epithelial cells.
