Abstract
⺠HIF pathway plays vital role in neovascularization in cancer and retinal diseases. ⺠Hypoxia induces expression of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) in a retinal cell. ⺠The expression of pro-angiogenic genes is dependent on KDMs under hypoxic conditions. ⺠Treating cells with a KDM inhibitor blocks the expression of pro-angiogenic genes. ⺠Specific inhibitors of KDMs can be used to treat hypoxia induced neovascularization.
