Different Expressions of HIF-1α and Metabolism in Brain and Major Visceral Organs of Acute Hypoxic Mice.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is associated with clinical diseases. Extreme hypoxia leads to multiple organs failure. However, the different effects of hypoxia on brain and visceral organs still need to be clarified, and moreover, characteristics in vulnerable organs suffering from hypoxia remain elusive. In the present study, we first aimed to figure out the hypoxic sensitivity of organs. Adult male mice were exposed to 6% O₂ or 8% O₂ for 6 h. Control mice were raised under normoxic conditions. In vivo and in vitro imaging of anti-HIF-1α-NMs-cy5.5 nanocomposites showed that the expression level of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) was the highest in the liver, followed by kidney and brain. HIF-1α was detected in the hepatocytes of liver, distal convoluted tubules of kidney and neurons of cerebral cortex. The liver, kidney and brain showed distinct metabolic profiles but an identical change in glutamate. Compared with kidney and brain, the liver had more characteristic metabolites and more disturbed metabolic pathways related to glutaminolysis and glycolysis. The level of O-phosphocholine, GTP, NAD and aspartate were upregulated in hypoxic mice brain, which displayed significant positive correlations with the locomotor activity in control mice, but not in hypoxic mice with impaired locomotor activities. Taken together, the liver, kidney and brain are the three main organs of the body that are strongly respond to acute hypoxia, and the liver exhibited the highest hypoxic sensitivity. The metabolic disorders appear to underlie the physiological function changes.

Hypoxic Regulation of Mitochondrial Metabolism and Mitophagy in Nucleus Pulposus Cells Is Dependent on HIF-1α-BNIP3 Axis.

Project description:Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells reside in an avascular and hypoxic microenvironment of the intervertebral disc and are predominantly glycolytic due to robust HIF-1 activity. It is generally thought that NP cells contain few functional mitochondria compared with cells that rely on oxidative metabolism. Consequently, the contribution of mitochondria to NP cell metabolism and the role of hypoxia and HIF-1 in mitochondrial homeostasis is poorly understood. Using mitoQC reporter mice, we show for the first time to our knowledge that NP cell mitochondria undergo age-dependent mitophagy in vivo. Mechanistically, in vitro studies suggest that, under hypoxic conditions, mitochondria in primary NP cells undergo HIF-1α-dependent fragmentation, controlled by modulating the levels of key proteins DRP1 and OPA1 that are involved in mitochondrial fission and fusion, respectively. Seahorse assays and steady state metabolic profiling coupled with [1-2-13 C]-glucose flux analysis revealed that in hypoxia, HIF-1α regulated metabolic flux through coordinating glycolysis and the mitochondrial TCA cycle interactions, thereby controlling the overall biosynthetic capacity of NP cells. We further show that hypoxia and HIF-1α trigger mitophagy in NP cells through the mitochondrial translocation of BNIP3, an inducer of receptor-mediated mitophagy. Surprisingly, however, loss of HIF-1α in vitro and analysis of NP-specific HIF-1α null mice do not show a decrease in mitophagic flux in NP cells but a compensatory increase in NIX and PINK1-Parkin pathways with higher mitochondrial number. Taken together, our studies provide novel mechanistic insights into the complex interplay between hypoxia and HIF-1α signaling on the mitochondrial metabolism and quality control in NP cells. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

The Potential Relationship Between HIF-1α and Amino Acid Metabolism After Hypoxic Ischemia and Dual Effects on Neurons.

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is one of the major transcription factors through which cells and tissues adapt to hypoxic-ischemic injury. However, the specific mechanism by which HIF regulates amino acid metabolism and its effect on neurons during hypoxic ischemia (HI) have remained unclear. This study analyzed the changes in cerebral metabolism of amino acids after HI by using 1H-MRS and investigated the relationship between the changes in cerebral metabolism of amino acids and HIF-1α as well as the potential effects on neurons. Newborn pigs were used as an HI model in this study. Twenty-eight newborn Yorkshire pigs (male, 1.0-1.5 kg) aged 3-5 days were selected and randomly divided into experimental groups tested at 0-2 h (n = 4), 2-6 h (n = 4), 6-12 h (n = 4), 12-24 h (n = 4), 24-48 h (n = 4), and 48-72 h (n = 4) after HI, and a control group (n = 4). After the modeling was completed, 1H-MRS imaging was conducted, followed by immunohistochemical staining of HIF-1α, NeuN, and doublecortin (DCX), and immunofluorescence of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT)-1, GOT2, glutathione synthase (GS), glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), and glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) in brain tissues. The expression of HIF-1α exhibited two increases after HI injury. The first time was opposite to the trends of change of GOT2, aspartic acid, and the number of neurons, while the second was consistent with these trends, suggesting that HIF-1α may have a two-way induction effect on neurons by regulating GOT2 after HI. HIF-1α was closely related to GCLM expression, and GSH level was correlated with the number of hippocampal neurons, indicating that HIF-1α may regulate GCLM to promote GSH synthesis and additionally play a neuroprotective role.

SENP1 desensitizes hypoxic ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin by up-regulating HIF-1α.

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is closely related to chemoresistance of ovarian cancers. Although it is reported that HIF-1α can be regulated by Sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1), the effects of SENP1 on HIF-1α is still controversial. In this study, we identified that SENP1 positively regulated the expression of HIF-1α by deSUMOylation and weakened the sensitivity of hypoxic ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin. These results indicate that SENP1 is a positive regulator of HIF-1α and plays a negative role in ovarian cancer chemotherapy.

CD146-HIF-1α hypoxic reprogramming drives vascular remodeling and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a vascular remodeling disease of cardiopulmonary units. No cure is currently available due to an incomplete understanding of vascular remodeling. Here we identify CD146-hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) cross-regulation as a key determinant in vascular remodeling and PAH pathogenesis. CD146 is markedly upregulated in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs/SMCs) and in proportion to disease severity. CD146 expression and HIF-1α transcriptional program reinforce each other to physiologically enable PASMCs to adopt a more synthetic phenotype. Disruption of CD146-HIF-1α cross-talk by genetic ablation of Cd146 in SMCs mitigates pulmonary vascular remodeling in chronic hypoxic mice. Strikingly, targeting of this axis with anti-CD146 antibodies alleviates established pulmonary hypertension (PH) and enhances cardiac function in two rodent models. This study provides mechanistic insights into hypoxic reprogramming that permits vascular remodeling, and thus provides proof of concept for anti-remodeling therapy for PAH through direct modulation of CD146-HIF-1α cross-regulation.

Hypoxic repression of CYP7A1 through a HIF-1α- and SHP-independent mechanism.

Project description:Liver cells experience hypoxic stress when drug-metabolizing enzymes excessively consume O2 for hydroxylation. Hypoxic stress changes the transcription of several genes by activating a heterodimeric transcription factor called hypoxia-inducible factor- 1α/β (HIF-1α/β). We found that hypoxic stress (0.1% O2) decreased the expression of cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1), a rate-limiting enzyme involved in bile acid biosynthesis. Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), a major component of bile acids, represses CYP7A1 by activating a transcriptional repressor named small heterodimer partner (SHP). We observed that hypoxia decreased the levels of both CDCA and SHP, suggesting that hypoxia repressed CYP7A1 without inducing SHP. The finding that overexpression of HIF-1α increased the activity of the CYP7A1 promoter suggested that hypoxia decreased the expression of CYP7A1 in a HIF-1-independent manner. Thus, the results of this study suggested that hypoxia decreased the activity of CYP7A1 by limiting its substrate O2, and by decreasing the transcription of CYP7A1.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) binds to HIF-1α and sustains HIF-1α protein stability to promote hepatocellular carcinoma cell glycolysis under hypoxic stress.

Project description:BackgroundHypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is essential in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) glycolysis and progression. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a powerful regulator and is overexpressed in many cancers, including HCC. The regulatory mechanism of YAP and HIF-1α in HCC glycolysis is unknown.MethodsWe detected YAP expression in 54 matched HCC tissues and the adjacent noncancerous tissues. The relationship between YAP mRNA expression and that of HIF-1α was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas HCC tissue data. We cultured HepG2 and Huh7 HCC cells under normoxic (20% O2) and hypoxic (1% O2) conditions, and measured the lactate and glucose levels, migration and invasive capability, and the molecular mechanism of HCC cell glycolysis and progression.ResultsIn this study, we detected YAP expression in 54 matched HCC tissues and the adjacent noncancerous tissues. We observed that hypoxia-induced YAP activation is crucial for accelerating HCC cell glycolysis. Hypoxia inhibited the Hippo signaling pathway and promoted YAP nuclear localization, and decreased phosphorylated YAP expression in HCC cells. YAP knockdown inhibited HCC cell glycolysis under hypoxic. Mechanistically, hypoxic stress in the HCC cells promoted YAP binding to HIF-1α in the nucleus and sustained HIF-1α protein stability to bind to PKM2 gene and directly activates PKM2 transcription to accelerate glycolysis.ConclusionsOur findings describe a new regulatory mechanism of hypoxia-mediated HCC metabolism, and YAP might be a promising therapeutic target in HCC.

Acriflavine, a Potent Inhibitor of HIF-1α, Disturbs Glucose Metabolism and Suppresses ATF4-Protective Pathways in Melanoma under Non-Hypoxic Conditions.

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is constitutively expressed in melanoma cells under normoxic conditions and its elevated expression correlates with the aggressiveness of melanoma tumors. Here, we used acriflavine, a potent inhibitor of HIF-1α dimerization, as a tool to investigate whether HIF-1α-regulated pathways contribute to the growth of melanoma cells under normoxia. We observed that acriflavine differentially modulated HIF-1α-regulated targets in melanoma under normoxic conditions, although acriflavine treatment resulted in over-expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), its action clearly downregulated the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1), a well-known target of HIF-1α. Consequently, downregulation of PDK1 by acrifavine resulted in reduced glucose availability and suppression of the Warburg effect in melanoma cells. In addition, by inhibiting the AKT and RSK2 phosphorylation, acriflavine also avoided protective pathways necessary for survival under conditions of oxidative stress. Interestingly, we show that acriflavine targets activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) for proteasomal degradation while suppressing the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), a master regulator of melanocyte development and a melanoma oncogene. Since acriflavine treatment results in the consistent death of melanoma cells, our results suggest that inhibition of HIF-1α function in melanoma could open new avenues for the treatment of this deadly disease regardless of the hypoxic condition of the tumor.

Culin5 aggravates hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by activating TRAF6/NF-κB/HIF-1α/VEGF.

Project description:Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) lacks effective pharmacologic treatments. Microarray-based gene expression indicates the crucial role of Cullin 5 (Cul 5) in HPH. This study showed that Cul 5 was upregulated in HPH patients and a murine model of HPH. In vitro, Cul 5 promoted the angiogenesis and adhesion capacity of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs), which could be mitigated by Cul 5 inactivation mediated by pevonedistat or NEDD8 silence. In vivo, silencing of Cul 5 in the endothelium and Cul 5 inactivation by pevonedistat could also alleviate hypoxic vascular remodeling. Mechanistic research showed that Cul 5 participated in HPH pathogenesis via the TRAF6/NF-κB/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway. Inhibition of the TRAF6/NF-κB/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway could reverse Cul 5-induced human PAEC dysfunction. These findings demonstrate that Cul 5 is an important mediator of HPH via the TRAF6/NF-κB/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway firstly, and could be considered as a potential therapeutic target in the clinical treatment of HPH.

HIF-1α/Beclin1-Mediated Autophagy Is Involved in Neuroprotection Induced by Hypoxic Preconditioning.

Project description:Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) exerts a protective effect against hypoxic/ischemic brain injury, and one mechanism explaining this effect may involve the upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). Autophagy, an endogenous protective mechanism against hypoxic/ischemic injury, is correlated with the activation of the HIF-1α/Beclin1 signaling pathway. Based on previous studies, we hypothesize that the protective role of HPC may involve autophagy occurring via activation of the HIF-1α/Beclin1 signaling pathway. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the effects of HPC on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced apoptosis and autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells. HPC significantly attenuated OGD/R-induced apoptosis, and this effect was suppressed by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine and mimicked by the autophagy agonist rapamycin. In control SH-SY5Y cells, HPC upregulated the expression of HIF-1α and downstream molecules such as BNIP3 and Beclin1. Additionally, HPC increased the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio and decreased p62 levels. The increase in the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio was inhibited by the HIF-1α inhibitor YC-1 or by Beclin1-short hairpin RNA (shRNA). In OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells, HPC also upregulated the expression levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, and Beclin1, as well as the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio. Furthermore, YC-1 or Beclin1-shRNA attenuated the HPC-mediated cell viability in OGD/R-treated cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that HPC protects SH-SY5Y cells against OGD/R via HIF-1α/Beclin1-regulated autophagy.

HIF-1α hampers dendritic cell function and Th1 generation during chronic visceral leishmaniasis.

Project description:Inflammation, although responsible for controlling infection, is often associated with the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Leishmania donovani, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis, induces a strong inflammatory response that leads to splenomegaly and ultimately immune suppression. Inflamed tissues are typically characterized by low levels of oxygen, a microenvironment that triggers the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1α (HIF-1α). Although HIF-1α plays an integral role in dendritic cell function, its involvement in the generation of protective Th1 responses against Leishmania has not yet been studied. Here we demonstrate that HIF-1α inhibits IL-12 production in dendritic cells, limiting therefore Th1 cell development. Indeed, depletion of HIF-1α in CD11c+ cells resulted in higher and sustained expression of IL-12 and complete abrogation of IL-10. Moreover, CD11c-specific HIF-1α-deficient mice showed higher frequencies of IFN-γ-producing CD4 T cells in the spleen and bone marrow and, consequently, a significantly reduced parasite burden in both organs. Taken together, our results suggest that HIF-1α expression in dendritic cells largely contributes to the establishment of persistent Leishmania infection and may therefore represent a possible therapeutic target.
