Key result

Exposure to 3 weeks of chronic hypoxia induced significant angiogenesis in CD1 (88%), C57Bl/6 (48%), and 129/Sv (41%) mice, but only 12% in Balb/c mice, highlighting strain-dependent responses.

Population

CD1, 129/Sv, C57Bl/6, and Balb/c mice

Design

Preclinical

Follow-up

up to 3 weeks

Implication

Extends rodent hypoxia models to multiple mouse strains; hypothesis-generating for human angiogenesis with no direct clinical translation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
CD1, 129/Sv, C57Bl/6, and Balb/c mice exposed to 10% oxygen for up to 3 weeks to evaluate angiogenesis and physiological responses.
I
Intervention
Exposure to 10% oxygen for up to 3 weeks
O
Outcome
Angiogenesis, physiological measures (percentage of packed red blood cells, respiration frequency, minute volume), and protein expression of VEGF, Ang1, Ang2, and Tie2surrogate

Genetic heterogeneity significantly influences hypoxia-induced angiogenesis and the regulation of angiogenic proteins in mice, which must be accounted for when designing and interpreting in vivo models.

Ward et al. (2007) studied Hypoxia. 10% oxygen (chronic hypoxia) was evaluated on Angiogenesis. Exposure to 3 weeks of chronic hypoxia induced significant angiogenesis in CD1 (88%), C57Bl/6 (48%), and 129/Sv (41%) mice, but only 12% in Balb/c mice, highlighting strain-dependent responses.
