Reprogramming of glucocorticoid receptor function by hypoxia

ABSTRACT: Here, we investigate the impact of hypoxia on the hepatic response of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to dexamethasone (DEX) in mice via RNA-sequencing. Hypoxia causes three types of reprogramming of GR: (i) much weaker induction of classical GR response genes by DEX in hypoxia (ii) a number of genes is induced by DEX specifically in hypoxia and (iii) hypoxia induces a group of genes via activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Transcriptional profiles are reflected by changed GR-DNA binding as measured by ChIP sequencing. The HPA axis is induced by hypothalamic HIF1α and HIF2α activation and leads to GR-dependent lipolysis and ketogenesis. Acute inflammation, induced by lipopolysaccharide, is prevented by DEX in normoxia but not during hypoxia, and this is attributed to HPA axis activation by hypoxia. We unfold new physiological pathways that have consequences for patients suffering from GC resistance.

Reprogramming of glucocorticoid receptor function by hypoxia: RNA-seq after 24h.

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most important stress hormones. They act via the GC receptor GR (encoded by the Nr3c1 gene). Their role is to control metabolic pathways, and to limit inflammation. The latter is often compromised, by unknown mechanisms, in severe inflammatory conditions. We here investigated the in vivo impact of hypoxia on GR function in mice, by genome wide analysis in liver and by means of deep hypoxia. Our data reveal that hypoxia leads to profound reductions in transcriptional output of GR, when stimulated with dexamethasone, leading to absent induction of genes with anti-inflammatory functions such as Tsc22d3 and Dusp1 in liver and other organs. Hypoxia also activates the entire HPA axis, by HIF1α and HIF2α activation in hypothalamus, causing long-term corticosterone production by adrenals. The latter leads to lipolysis in adipose tissue, followed by β-oxidation and ketogenesis in liver, but also to the reprogramming of GR, whereby GR limits its anti-inflammatory functions. These genome-wide RNAseq and ChIPSeq data, accompanied with studies using GR inhibitor, GR mutant mice and adrenalectomized animals suggest that hypoxia leads to increased sensitivity for acute inflammation and lack of protection by dexamethasone, due to the chronic HPA axis stimulation. Our data unfold new physiological pathways, that may have consequences for patients suffering from GC resistance or living at high altitudes.

Structural insights into glucocorticoid receptor function.

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a steroid hormone-activated transcription factor that binds to various glucocorticoid response elements to up- or down- regulate the transcription of thousands of genes involved in metabolism, development, stress and inflammatory responses. GR consists of two domains enabling interaction with glucocorticoids, DNA response elements and coregulators, as well as a large intrinsically disordered region that mediates condensate formation. A growing body of structural studies during the past decade have shed new light on GR interactions, providing a new understanding of the mechanisms driving context-specific GR activity. Here, we summarize the established and emerging mechanisms of action of GR, primarily from a structural perspective. This minireview also discusses how the current state of knowledge of GR function may guide future glucocorticoid design with an improved therapeutic index for different inflammatory disorders.
