Lysine demethylase KDM6B regulates HIF-1α-mediated systemic and cellular responses to intermittent hypoxia.


ABSTRACT: Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a hallmark manifestation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Rodents treated with IH exhibit hypertension. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1-dependent transcriptional activation of NADPH oxidases (Nox) and the resulting increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels is a major molecular mechanism underlying IH/OSA-induced hypertension. Jumanji C (JmjC)-containing histone lysine demethylases (JmjC-KDMs) are coactivators of HIF-1-dependent transcriptional activation. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that JmjC-KDMs are required for IH-evoked HIF-1 transcriptional activation of Nox4 and the ensuing hypertension. Studies were performed on pheochromocytoma (PC)12 cells and rats. IH increased KDM6B protein and enzyme activity in PC12 cells in an HIF-1-independent manner as evidenced by unaltered KDM6B activation by IH in HIF-1α shRNA-treated cells. Cells treated with IH showed increased HIF-1-dependent Nox4 transcription as indicated by increased HIF-1α binding to hypoxia-responsive element (HRE) sequence of the Nox4 gene promoter demonstrated by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChiP) assay. Pharmacological blockade of KDM6B with GSKJ4, a specific KDM6 inhibitor, or genetic silencing of KDM6B with shRNA abolished IH-induced Nox4 transcriptional activation by blocking HIF-1α binding to the promoter of the Nox4 gene. Treating IH-exposed rats with GSKJ4 showed: 1) absence of KDM6B activation and HIF-1-dependent Nox4 transcription in the adrenal medullae, and 2) absence of elevated plasma catecholamines and hypertension. Collectively, these findings indicate that KDM6B functions as a coactivator of HIF-1-mediated Nox4 transactivation and demonstrates a hitherto uncharacterized role for KDMs in IH-induced hypertension by HIF-1.
