Abstrakt:	Objective: To observe the influence of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) on angiogenesis in prostate carcinoma in vivo and to investigate its molecular mechanism. Methods: LNCaP/HIF-1alpha and LNCaP cells were cultured, the level of PSA in the supernatant of the culture medium detected by ELISA assay before and after the transfection, and the cellular cycle measured by flow cytometry. Nude mouse models of subcutaneous tumor were established with LNCaP/HIF-1alpha and LNCaP cells, the tumor growth observed, and tumor specimens collected for immunohistochemical staining. Results: Compared with the LNCaP cells, LNCaP/HIF-1alpha cells showed an obviously decreased PSA level (t = 8.243, P < 0.05) and enhanced proliferous activity. The tumorigenesis rate increased and the tumorigenesis time advanced in the LNCaP/HIF-1alpha group of the nude mice. Immunohistochemistry displayed higher expressions of VEGF, iNOS and Ang-2 in the LNCaP/HIF-1alpha than in the LNCaP group. Conclusion: The over-expression of HIF-1alpha can up-regulate VEGF and iNOS involved in angiogenesis in vivo and contribute to the invasive potency of LNCaP cells. HIF-1alpha may have no influence on Ang-2 either in vitro or in vivo, while the expression of Ang-2 is regulated by other factors in vivo.
