Hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF-1α),a core transcription factor responding to changes in cellular oxygen levels,is closely associated with a wide range of physiological and pathological ***,its differential impacts on vascular cell types and molecular programs modulating human vascular homeostasis and regeneration remain largely ***,we applied CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of human embryonic stem cells and directed differentiation to generate HIF-ia-deficient human vascular cells including vascular endothelial cells,vascular smooth muscle cells,and mesenchymal stem cells(MsCs),as a platform for discovering cell type-specific hypox-ia-induced response *** comparative molecular profiling across cell types under normoxic and hypoxic conditions,we provide insight into the indispensable role of HIF-1αin the promotion of ischemic vascular *** found human MSCs to be the vascular cell type most susceptible to HIF-1a deficiency,and that transcriptional inactivation of ANKZF1,an effector of HIF-1a,impaired pro-angiogenic ***,our findings deepen the understanding of HIF-ia in human angiogenesis and support further explorations of novel therapeutic strategies of vascular regeneration against ischemic damage.
