Naked mole rats (NMRs) spend their lives in burrow systems containing very low levels of oxygen, indicating long-term hypoxic exposure, and suggesting that pathological changes caused by hypoxia are attenuated or absent in this hypoxia-tolerant species. The mechanisms underlying NMRs hypoxia tolerance remain poorly understood. In this study, we explored whether hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) play a role in NMRs adaption to hypoxia. Primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) isolated from NMRs and mice were treated with 50 μM YC-1, 50 μM KC7F2 or VEGFA siRNA. HIF-1α or VEGFA expression was detected by Western blot and real-time PCR. Apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of autophagy markers (LC3 and p62) was detected by Western blot. Our results showed that HIF-1α and VEGFA expression in NMRs was significantly higher than in hypoxia-sensitive mice. Inhibition of HIF-1α expression induced apoptosis in both NMR and mouse HSCs following hypoxia. However, blocking VEGFA transcription results in a significant increase of apoptosis in both NMR and mouse HSCs before and after hypoxia. In addition, NMR HSCs displayed higher levels of autophagy (ratio of LC3ΙΙ/LC3Ι = 9.6) than mouse HSCs (relative ratio of LC3ΙΙ/ LC3Ι = 4.9) under hypoxic conditions. We conclude that HIF-1α activation may be an important mechanism for hypoxia adaption. However, high expression of VEGFA follows HIF-1α activation in NMRs.
