Gene Expression profiles of colon from Hif-2αF/F, Hif-2αlΔIE treated with DSS

ABSTRACT: To investigate the detailed molecular mechanisms for the regulatory role of HIF-2α in experimental colitis, microarray gene expression analysis was performed on colon RNA isolated from 6- to 8-week-old Hif-2αF/F, Hif-2αlΔIE mice treated with 3%DSS for 3 days. Background & Aims: Hypoxic inflammation is characterized by decreased oxygen tension in inflammatory foci, and is a notable feature in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Hypoxic response is mediated by transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α, both of which are highly induced in IBD. HIF-1α is a protective factor that limits intestinal barrier dysfunction during inflammation. However, the role of HIF-2α has not been assessed in hypoxic inflammation and IBD. Methods: A hypoxia reporter mouse model was used to test the presence of hypoxia and HIF-2α in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and Citrobacter rodentium (C.rod)-induced colitis. The role of HIF-2α in these mouse models of colitis was further assessed in mice with an intestinal epithelium-specific gain- and loss-of-function of HIF-2α. Results: Induction of hypoxia and HIF-2α was confirmed in both murine experimental colitis models and human IBD samples. Disruption of HIF-2α attenuated colonic inflammation whereas stabilization of HIF-2α potentiated inflammation in mouse models of colitis. Interestingly, intestine specific overexpression of HIF-2α but not HIF-1α leads to spontaneous colitis and premature death in mice. Further mechanistic analysis showed that HIF-2α is a driver for pro-inflammatory response and is critical regulator of intestinal epithelial-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Blocking TNF-α completely ameliorated HIF-2α potentiated intestinal inflammation. Conclusions: These data demonstrate that HIF-2α is a critical transcription factor essential in intestinal epithelium elicited inflammatory response.

Project description:Mitochondria are subcellular organelles that are more than just the powerhouse of cells, they also dictate if a cell dies or survives. The mitochondrial outer-membrane voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) has been shown to play a crucial role in metabolism and apoptosis, however its involvement in ischemic pathologies and cancer is not clear. Transcriptome analysis of Vdac1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) highlighted cancer and inflammation as top diesases but also activation of the HIF-1 signaling pathway in normoxia. HIF-1α protein was stable due to ROS accumulation that decreased respiration and glycolysis and maintained basal apoptosis. However, in hypoxia increased activation of ERK in combination with maintenance of respiration and increased glycolysis counterbalanced the deleterious effects of ROS, thereby allowing Vdac1-/- MEF to proliferate better than wild-type MEF. Xenografts of RAS-transformed Vdac1-/- MEF in mice showed stabilization of both HIF-1α and HIF-2α which led to blood vessel destabilization and a strong inflammatory response. Moreover, expression of Cdkn2a, a HIF-1-target and tumor suppressor gene, was strongly decreased. Consequently RAS-transformed Vdac1-/- MEF tumors grew faster than wild-type MEF tumors. These findings provide new perspectives into the understanding of VDAC1 in the function of mitochondria not only in cancer but also in inflammatory diseases. Profiling of VDAC1-/- and wild-type (Wt) Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) was performed using whole genome mouse microarrays. in normoxic or hypoxic conditions. MEF (Wt and Vdac1-/-) were incubated in normoxia (Nx, ie: 20% O2) or hypoxia (Hx, ie: 1% O2) for 72h and then lysed prior to RNA isolation, labelling and hybridization on microarrays. One color experiment with 2 biological replicates (marked 1 or 2) of the 4 experimental conditions. One condition (MEF WT Nx2) has been removed from the statistical analysis after microarray quality check due to high background. Total of 7 samples.
