Project description:Cytolytic activity by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) is a powerful tactic in the elimination of intracellular pathogens and tumor cells. The destructive capacity of CTL is progressively dampened during chronic infection - yet the environmental cues and molecular pathways controlling immune “exhaustion” remain unclear. We find CTL immunity is regulated by the central transcriptional response to hypoxia, mediated by the von-Hippel-Lindau/Hypoxia-Inducible-Factor (VHL/HIF) pathway. Deletion of VHL, the primary negative regulator of HIF, leads to lethal CTL-mediated immunopathology during chronic infection, and VHL-deficient CTL display enhanced control of persistent viral infection and neoplastic growth. We find HIF and oxygen influence expression of pivotal CTL transcription, effector and costimulatory-inhibitory molecules, which is relevant to strategies to promote viral and tumor clearance. To understand the role of the VHL/HIF pathway in regulating T cell responses to acute and persistant antigen in vivo, a mixture of ~10^4 WT and Vhl KO virus-specific CD8+ T cells (P14s) was transferred iv into uninfected WT host mice. After infection with either LCMV-Armstrong (acute viral infection) or LCMV-clone13 (persistent viral infection) we double-FACS isolated the responding P14 donor cells from pooled spleens from two sets of host mice to obtain duplicates for microarray for the four conditions, resulting in eight samples (2 WT Arm, 2 VHL KO Arm; 2 WT cl13, 2 VHL KO cl13) at 6 to 7 days post-infection. All conditions were sorted on KRLG1lo P14 cells. Note this was a mixed P14 transfer, so WT and KO cells were responding to infection in the same WT host mice to aid in normalizing effects such as antigen load and cytokine environment.

Project description:VHL is a tumor suppressor gene involved in the oxygen-sensing pathway whose germline mutations predispose to distinct phenotypes. Heterozygous mutations predispose to von Hippel-Lindau disease characterized by the development of multiple tumors (including hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinomas and pheochromocytomas)1-3. More recently, a specific VHL-R200W mutation was shown to be responsible for Chuvash Polycythemia in homozygous carriers whereas heterozygous individuals have no clinical manifestation4. We report here a family carrying, on the same allele, VHL mutations characteristics of the two types of disease (a Chuvash polycythemia-R200W mutation and a von Hippel-Lindau disease-R161Q mutation). Genotyping, modeling analysis and functional studies, including transcriptomic profile of the distinct mutants validated for the first time on direct HIF target genes, show a gradual capacity of the VHL mutants to regulate the hypoxia responsive pathway that correlate with the severity of the developed phenotype. Our study provide original results that illuminate genotype/phenotype correlations in von Hippel-Lindau disease.

Project description:Renal hypoxia is widespread in acute kidney injury (AKI) of various aetiologies. Hypoxia adaptation, conferred through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), appears to be insufficient. Here we show that HIF activation in renal tubules through Pax8-rtTA-based inducible knockout of von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL-KO) protects from rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI. In this model, histological observations indicate that injury mainly affects proximal convoluted tubules, with 5% necrosis at d1 and 40% necrosis at d2. HIF-1alpha up-regulation in distal tubules reflects renal hypoxia. However, lack of HIF in proximal tubules suggests insufficient adaptation by HIF. AKI in VHL-KO mice leads to prominent HIF activation in all nephron segments, as well as to reduced serum creatinine, serum urea, tubular necrosis, and apoptosis marker caspase-3 protein. At d1 after rhabdomyolysis, when tubular injury is potentially reversible, HIF mediated protection in AKI is associated with activated glycolysis, cellular glucose uptake and utilization, autophagy, vasodilation, and proton removal as demonstrated by qPCR, pathway enrichment analysis and immunohistochemistry. Together, our data provide evidence for a HIF-orchestrated multi-level shift towards glycolysis as a major mechanism for protection against acute tubular injury. All experiments were carried out in transgenic mice in which selective renal tubular VHL knockout (VHL-KO) was inducible by doxycycline (Reference: Mathia S, Paliege A, Koesters R, Peters H, Neumayer HH, Bachmann S, Rosenberger C. Action of hypoxia-inducible factor in liver and kidney from mice with Pax8-rtTA-based deletion of von Hippel-Lindau protein. Acta Physiol (Oxf). 2013; 207(3):565-76.). Four groups of animals were used: 1) controls: untreated mice; 2) VHL-KO: injected with doxycycline (0.1 mg per 10 g body weight SC), 4 days prior to sacrifice; 3) AKI: rhabdomyolysis; 4) VHL-KO/AKI: doxycycline plus rhabdomyolysis. To induce AKI, 50% glycerol (0.05 ml per 10 g body weight) was injected IM into the left hind limb under isoflurane narcosis. Drinking water was withdrawn between 20 h prior and 24 h after glycerol injection.

Project description:The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor functions as a ubiquitin ligase that mediates proteolytic inactivation of hydroxylated a subunits of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Although studies of VHL defective renal carcinoma cells suggest the existence of other VHL tumor suppressor pathways, dysregulation of the HIF transcriptional cascade has extensive effects that make it difficult to distinguish whether, and to what extent, observed abnormalities in these cells represent effects on pathways that are distinct from HIF. Here, we report on a genetic analysis of HIF dependent and independent effects of VHL inactivation by studying gene expression patterns in C. elegans. We show tight conservation of the HIF-1/VHL-1/EGL-9 hydroxylase pathway. However, persisting differential gene expression in hif-1 versus hif-1; vhl-1 double mutant worms clearly distinguished HIF-1 independent effects of VHL-1 inactivation. Genomic clustering, predicted functional similarities, and a common pattern of dysregulation in both vhl-1 worms and a set of mutants (dpy-18, let-268, gon-1, mig-17 and unc-6), with different defects in extracellular matrix formation, suggest that dysregulation of these genes reflects a discrete HIF-1 independent function of VHL-1 that is connected with extracellular matrix function.

Project description:The cellular response to low oxygen supply is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). Under hypoxic conditions, HIF is stabilized and target genes are induced. Under normoxia, however, HIF is ubiquitinated through the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL), which results in proteasomal degradation. HIF activation leads to induction of genes involved in erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, and cell survival. Furthermore, HIF orchestrates a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis to facilitate ATP production under low oxygen conditions. We used microarrays to detail gene expression changes in kidneys with stable HIF activation in renal tubules, which was achieved by tubule-specific VHL ablation.

Six weeks old mice were sacrificed and kidneys harvested. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene, VHL, is an archetypical tumor-initiating event in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) that leads to the activation of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs). However, VHL mutation status in ccRCC is not correlated with clinical outcome. Here we show that during ccRCC progression, cancer cells exploit diverse epigenetic alterations to empower a branch of the VHL-HIF pathway for metastasis, and the strength of this activation is associated with poor clinical outcome. By analyzing metastatic subpopulations of VHL-deficient ccRCC cells, we discovered an epigenetically altered VHL-HIF response that is specific to metastatic ccRCC. Focusing on the two most prominent pro-metastatic VHL-HIF target genes, we show that loss of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-dependent histone H3 Lys27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) activates HIF-driven chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression in support of chemotactic cell invasion, whereas loss of DNA methylation enables HIF-driven cytohesin 1 interacting protein (CYTIP) expression to protect cancer cells from death cytokine signals. Thus, metastasis in ccRCC is based on an epigenetically expanded output of the tumor-initiating pathway. Gene expression data from metastatic 786-M1A cells with and without reintroduced HA-VHL. The empty vector, pBabe-puro, was used as control.
