Citrullination modulation maintains HIF-1A stabilization to drive tumor progression

ABSTRACT: HIF-1 (Hypoxia-inducible factor 1) is the master regulator responding to hypoxic conditions. Here, we found that HIF-1A is citrullinated by peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) at arginine 698, promoting HIF-1A stabilization and thus HIF-1-driven tumor growth. The knockdown of PADI4 could dramatically decrease HIF-1 protein expression without affecting the mRNA level, and this could be rescued by the proteasome inhibitor MG132 treatment under hypoxia. And PADI4-HIF-1A interaction is critical for HIF-1A stability and tumor progression, depending on the enzymatic activity of PADI4 and the pocket structure of PADI4. DHE, an FDA-approved agent for the treatment of migraine, was found serve as a potential antitumor agent throgh disrupting PADI4-HIF-1A interaction and suppressing HIF-1A stability. Taken together, we found the anti-tumor effect of DHE due to its effect on blocking PADI4-HIF-1A interaction and downregulating HIF-1A pathway in cancer cells. To figure out the influence of DHE on liver cancer cell under hypoxia, we treated Hep3B cell lines with two does DHE in 6 hours under Hypoxia and extracted mRNA for furthur RNA seq.

Project description:HIF-1a activates genes under hypoxia and was hypothesized to regulate bone regeneration. Surprisingly, HET HIF-1a fracture calluses are larger, stronger and stiffer than WT HIF-1a calluses due to decreased apoptosis. These data identify apoptosis inhibition as a means to enhance bone regeneration. Introduction: Bone regeneration subsequent to fracture involves the synergistic activation of multiple signaling pathways. Localized hypoxia following fracture activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1a) leading to increased expression of HIF-1 target genes. We therefore hypothesized that HIF-1a is a key regulator of bone regeneration Materials and Methods: Fixed femoral fractures were generated in mice with partial HIF-1a deficiency (HET HIF-1a) and wild type littermates (WT HIF-1a). Fracture calluses and intact contralateral femurs from post fracture day (PFD) 21 and 28 (N=5-10) were subjected to MicroCT evaluation and 4-point bending in order to assess morphometric and mechanical properties. Molecular analyses were carried out on PFD 7, 10 and 14 samples (N=3) to determine differential gene expression at both mRNA and protein levels. Finally, TUNEL staining was performed on PFD 14 samples (N=2) to elucidate differential apoptosis. Results: Surprisingly, fracture calluses from HET HIF-1a mice exhibit greater mineralization and are larger, stronger and stiffer. Microarray analyses focused on hypoxia-induced genes revealed differential expression (between genotypes) of several genes associated with the apoptotic pathway. Real-time PCR confirmed these results, demonstrating higher expression of pro-apoptotic PP2A and lower expression of anti-apoptotic BCL2 in WT HIF-1a calluses. Subsequent TUNEL staining demonstrates that WT HIF-1a calluses contain larger numbers of TUNEL positive chondrocytes and osteoblasts than HET HIF-1a calluses. Conclusions: We conclude that partial HIF-1a deficiency results in decreased chondrocytic and osteoblastic apoptosis; thereby allowing the development of larger, stiffer calluses and enhancing bone regeneration. Furthermore, apoptosis inhibition may be a promising target for developing new treatments to accelerate bone regeneration. Keywords: Bone, Fracture, Apoptosis, Hypoxia, Microarray
