Mycobacterial tuberculosis infection in hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha deficient macrophages
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We herein found the strong expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in tuberculosis granulomas and more rapid death of HIF-1α-conditional knockout mice than wild-type mice after M. tuberculosis infection. These results prompted us to investigate the role of HIF-1α in host defenses against infection. Bone-marrow derived macrophages from Wild-type (WT) mice and HIF-1α-conditional knockout (HIF-1 CKO) mice were infected with M tuberculosis H37Rv (multiplicity of infection = 0.5) for 12 h, and extracellular bacilli were removed from the macrophage culture medium. Cells were cultured for 4 days in the presence of 500 U/ml IFN-γ. In microarray analysis using Gene Chip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array, the expression of 757 and 1190 genes was ≥1.3-fold stronger and ≥0.77-fold weaker, respectively, in HIF-1 CKO than in WT.
