Relative mRNA expression of genes regulated by hypoxia in hVICs cultured for 24 h in dynamic MPS culture with different oxygen concentrations in comparison to static control and related to dynamic MPS culture at 19% oxygen. Hypoxia inducible factors HIF1α and HIF2α and its regulators EGLN1,2,3 (prolyl hydroxylases) and the HIF effector LDHA were quantified. (one-way ANOVA and Tukey-test or Friedmann and Dunn`s-test, respectively; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.005; ****p < 0.0001)
