The Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP-1 Regulates Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α) Protein Levels in Endothelial Cells under Hypoxia

The tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 negatively influences endothelial function, such as VEGF signaling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, and has been shown to influence angiogenesis during tissue ischemia. In ischemic tissues, hypoxia induced angiogenesis is crucial for restoring oxygen supply. However, the exact mechanism how SHP-1 affects endothelial function during ischemia or hypoxia remains unclear. We performed in vitro endothelial...
