Copper regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 activity.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have demonstrated that copper up-regulates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that copper is required for HIF-1 activation. Treatment of HepG2 cells with a copper chelator tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) or short interfering RNA targeting copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase 1 (CCS) suppressed hypoxia-induced activation of HIF-1. Addition of excess copper relieved the suppression by TEPA, but not that by CCS gene silencing, indicating the requirement of copper for activation of HIF-1, which is CCS-dependent. Copper deprivation did not affect production or stability of HIF-1alpha but reduced HIF-1alpha binding to the hypoxia-responsive element (HRE) of target genes and to p300, a component of HIF-1 transcriptional complex. Copper probably inhibits the factor inhibiting HIF-1 to ensure the formation of HIF-1 transcriptional complex. This study thus defines that copper is required for HIF-1 activation through the regulation of HIF-1alpha binding to the HRE and the formation of the HIF-1 transcriptional complex.

Epithelial Barrier Regulation by Hypoxia-Inducible Factor.

Project description:Mucosal tissues represent surfaces that are exposed to the outside world and provide a conduit for internal and external communication. Tissues such as the intestine and the lung are lined by layer(s) of epithelial cells that, when organized in three dimensions, provide a critical barrier to the flux of luminal contents. This selective barrier is provided through the regulated expression of junctional proteins and mucins. Tissue oxygen metabolism is central to the maintenance of homeostasis in the mucosa. In some organs (e.g., the colon), low baseline Po2 determines tissue metabolism and results in basal expression of the transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which is enhanced after ischemia/inflammation. Recent studies have indicated that HIF contributes fundamentally to the expression of barrier-related genes and in the regulation of barrier-adaptive responses within the mucosa. Here, we briefly review recent literature on the topic of hypoxia and HIF regulation of barrier in mucosal health and during disease.

Regulation of human metabolism by hypoxia-inducible factor.

Project description:The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) family of transcription factors directs a coordinated cellular response to hypoxia that includes the transcriptional regulation of a number of metabolic enzymes. Chuvash polycythemia (CP) is an autosomal recessive human disorder in which the regulatory degradation of HIF is impaired, resulting in elevated levels of HIF at normal oxygen tensions. Apart from the polycythemia, CP patients have marked abnormalities of cardiopulmonary function. No studies of integrated metabolic function have been reported. Here we describe the response of these patients to a series of metabolic stresses: exercise of a large muscle mass on a cycle ergometer, exercise of a small muscle mass (calf muscle) which allowed noninvasive in vivo assessments of muscle metabolism using (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and a standard meal tolerance test. During exercise, CP patients had early and marked phosphocreatine depletion and acidosis in skeletal muscle, greater accumulation of lactate in blood, and reduced maximum exercise capacities. Muscle biopsy specimens from CP patients showed elevated levels of transcript for pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, phosphofructokinase, and muscle pyruvate kinase. In cell culture, a range of experimental manipulations have been used to study the effects of HIF on cellular metabolism. However, these approaches provide no potential to investigate integrated responses at the level of the whole organism. Although CP is relatively subtle disorder, our study now reveals a striking regulatory role for HIF on metabolism during exercise in humans. These findings have significant implications for the development of therapeutic approaches targeting the HIF pathway.

Regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha by NF-kappaB.

Project description:HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) is the main transcription factor activated by low oxygen tensions. HIF-1alpha (and other alpha subunits) is tightly controlled mostly at the protein level, through the concerted action of a class of enzymes called PHDs (prolyl hydroxylases) 1, 2 and 3. Most of the knowledge of HIF derives from studies following hypoxic stress; however, HIF-1alpha stabilization is also found in non-hypoxic conditions through an unknown mechanism. In the present study, we demonstrate that NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) is a direct modulator of HIF-1alpha expression. The HIF-1alpha promoter is responsive to selective NF-kappaB subunits. siRNA (small interfering RNA) studies for individual NF-kappaB members revealed differential effects on HIF-1alpha mRNA levels, indicating that NF-kappaB can regulate basal HIF-1alpha expression. Finally, when endogenous NF-kappaB is induced by TNFalpha (tumour necrosis factor alpha) treatment, HIF-1alpha levels also change in an NF-kappaB-dependent manner. In conclusion, we find that NF-kappaB can regulate basal TNFalpha and, in certain circumstances, the hypoxia-induced HIF-1alpha.

Transcriptional regulation of the Menkes copper ATPase (Atp7a) gene by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF2{alpha}) in intestinal epithelial cells.

Project description:Iron homeostasis-related genes (e.g., Dmt1 and Dcytb) are upregulated by hypoxia-inducible factor 2? (HIF2?) during iron deficiency in the mammalian intestine. Menkes copper ATPase (Atp7a) gene expression is also strongly induced in the duodenum of iron-deficient rats. The current study was thus designed to test the hypothesis that Atp7a is regulated by HIF2?. Rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells were utilized to model the intestinal epithelium, and CoCl(2) and 1% O(2) were applied to mimic hypoxia in vitro. Both treatments significantly increased endogenous Atp7a mRNA levels; mRNA induction with CoCl(2) treatment was blunted by a transcriptional inhibitor. The rat Atp7a promoter was thus cloned and studied. Various sized promoter constructs were inserted into a luciferase reporter vector and transfected into cells. A -224/+88 bp construct had full activity and was induced by CoCl(2); this promoter fragment was thus utilized for subsequent analyses. Interestingly, this region contains three phylogenetically conserved, putative hypoxia response elements (HRE; 5'-NCGTGN-3'). It was further noted that HIF2? overexpression caused a significant upregulation of promoter activity while HIF1? overexpression had little effect. To determine whether Atp7a is a direct HIF target, three putative HREs were deleted individually or in combination; all were shown to be essential for transcriptional induction. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies also demonstrated that HIF2? binds to the Atp7a promoter region. Lastly, Atp7a and HIF2? protein levels were shown to be increased by both treatments. In conclusion, the Atp7a gene is upregulated by direct interaction with HIF2?, demonstrating coordinate regulation with genes related to intestinal iron homeostasis.

Copper levels affect targeting of hypoxia-inducible factor 1? to the promoters of hypoxia-regulated genes.

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor 1? (HIF-1?) is a transcription factor that regulates cellular responses to hypoxia. It controls the expression of both BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2). Previous studies have demonstrated that in hypoxia, copper is required for the expression of BNIP3 but not for that of IGF2 Here, using ChIP assays, computational analyses, luciferase reporter assays, and real-time quantitative RT-PCR, we sought to better understand how copper regulates the differential target gene selectivity of HIF-1?. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to CoCl2 or hypoxia conditions to increase HIF-1? accumulation. The binding of HIF-1? to hypoxia-responsive element (HRE) sites in the BNIP3 or IGF2 gene promoter in high- or low-copper conditions was examined. Our analyses revealed three and two potential HRE sites in the BNIP3 and IGF2 promoters, respectively. We identified that HRE (-412/-404) in the BNIP3 promoter and HRE (-354/-347) in the IGF2 promoter are the critical binding sites of HIF-1?. Tetraethelenepentamine (TEPA)-mediated reduction in copper concentration did not affect hypoxia- or CoCl2-induced HIF-1? accumulation. However, the copper reduction did suppress the binding of HIF-1? to the HRE (-412/-404) in BNIP3 but not the binding of HIF-1? to the HRE (-354/-347) in IGF2 In summary, our findings uncovered the mechanistic basis for differential HIF-1?-mediated regulation of BNIP3 and IGF2, indicating that copper regulates target gene selectivity of HIF-1? at least in part by affecting HIF-1? binding to its cognate HRE in the promoters of these two genes.

The neurohormone orexin stimulates hypoxia-inducible factor-1 activity.

Project description:Orexin A and Orexin B (also known as hypocretins) are neuropeptides that bind two related G-coupled protein receptors (OXR1 and OXR2) and thus induce wakefulness, food consumption, and locomotion. Conversely, deletion of the orexin gene in mice produces a condition similar to canine and human narcolepsy. Despite the central importance of the orexin system in regulating wakefulness and feeding behavior, little is known about the downstream signaling mechanisms that achieve these effects. In this study, genomics techniques are used to probe this question and reveal that orexin activates the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), a heterodimeric transcription factor whose pathogenic role in stimulating angiogenesis in hypoxic tumors has been the focus of intense investigation. Orexin-stimulated HIF-1 activity is due to both increased HIF-1alpha gene transcription and a down-regulation of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL), the E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the turnover of HIF-1 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Orexin-mediated activation of HIF-1 results in increased glucose uptake and higher glycolytic activity, as expected from studies of hypoxic cells. However, orexin receptor-expressing cells somehow override the HIF-1-mediated preference for funneling pyruvate into anaerobic glycolysis and instead favor ATP production through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. These findings implicate HIF-1 as an important transcription factor in the hormone-mediated regulation of hunger and wakefulness.
