Abstract

The hypoxic microenvironment that occurs in fast-growing tissue such as the corpus luteum (CL) is a major contributor to its ability to survive via the induction of an intricate vascular network. Cellular responses to hypoxia are mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), an oxygen-regulated transcriptional activator. HIF-1, a heterodimer consisting of a constitutively-expressed β subunit and an oxygen-regulated α subunit, binds to the hypoxia responsive element (HRE) present in the promoter regions of responsive genes. This review summarises evidence for the involvement of hypoxia and HIF-1α in CL development and function. Special emphasis is given to hypoxia-induced, luteal cell-specific expression of multiple genes (vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), prokineticin receptor 2 (PK-R2), stanniocalcin 1 (STC-1) and endothelin 2 (EDN-2) that participate in the angiogenic process during CL formation.

Additional keywords: basic fibroblast growth factor, corpus luteum, follicle, luteal endothelial cells, lutel steroidogenic cells, vascular endothelial growth factor.
