ADAMTS1 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 1) is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family. We have previously reported that ADAMTS1 was strongly expressed in myocardial infarction and it is a hypoxic early response gene expressed by endothelial cells in a timedependent manner. In this study, we investigated whether ADAMTS1 promoter-driven reporter signal is detectable by acute hypoxia in vivo and in vitro. We constructed the GFP (green fluorescent protein) expression vector (ADAMTS1-GFP) driven by ADAMTS1 promoter and compared it with the constitutive GFP-expressing vector driven by cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter (CMV-GFP). We delivered ADAMTS1-GFP or CMV-GFP by electroporation and examined whether GFP signals can be detected under the hypoxia. When we cultured ADAMTS1-GFP-transfected human umbilical vein cells (HUVEC) under normoxia, there were few GFP signals, while CMV-GFP-transfected HUVEC showed considerable GFP signals. When HUVEC was stimulated with hypoxia, GFP signals were induced by ADAMTS1-GFP. Interestingly, the GFP signals reached its peak at 3 h under hypoxia stimulation. In vivo experiments, ischemic hind limb model were produced and ADAMTS1- GFP drove GFP signals in the ischemic hind limb. In summary, we have demonstrated that the ADAMTS1promoter induced the reporter gene expression by hypoxia, and its induction is transient. This is the first reportshowing the unique acute hypoxia-activated gene expression system.
