Project description:Although it has been shown that HIF1 and 2 fulfill essential roles within the hematopoietic system and in the regulation of HSC fate, little is currently known about the specific mechanisms that are involved. We identified transcriptome changes induced by hypoxia, constitutively active HIF1(P402/564) and HIF2(P405/531) in human cord blood CD34+ cells. Thus, we were able to identify common hypoxia-HIF1-HIF2 gene signatures, but we also identified specific target genes that were exclusively regulated by HIF1, HIF2 or hypoxia. CB CD34+ cells were isolated by Miltenyi miniMACS column. Cells were prestimulated in HPGM with 100 ng/ml KITL, FLT3L and TPO for 3 days after which cells were placed either at normoxia or hypoxia (1% O2 for an additional 24 hrs). 5 independent CB CD34+ batches were used and isolated RNA was combined and used for Illumina beadhchip arrays HT12 v4

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factors (HIF)1 and 2 are transcription factors which regulate the homeostatic response to low oxygen conditions. Since data related to the importance of HIF1 and 2 in haematopoietic stem and progenitors is conflicting, we investigated the chromatin binding profiles of HIF1 and HIF2 and linked that to transcriptional networks and the cellular metabolic state. Genome-wide ChIP-seq and transcriptome studies revealed that overlapping HIF1- and HIF2-controlled loci were highly enriched for various processes like including metabolism, particularly those involved in glucose metabolism, but also for chromatin organization, cellular response to stress and G protein-coupled receptor signaling. ChIP-qPCR validation studies confirmed that glycolysis-related genes - but not genes related to the TCA cycle or glutaminolysis - were controlled by both HIF1 and HIF2 in leukemic cell lines and primary AMLs, while in healthy human CD34+ cells these loci were predominantly controlled by HIF1 but not HIF2. However, and in contrast to our initial hypotheses, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of HIF signaling did not affect growth, internal metabolite concentrations, glucose consumption or lactate production under hypoxia. These data indicate that, while HIFs exert control over glycolysis but not OxPHOS gene expression in human leukemic cells, this is not critically important for their metabolic state.

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1) has been shown to cooperate with the androgen receptor (AR) in activation of oncogenic pathways in prostate cancer (PCa). Here we hypothesized that HIF1 also plays a role in PCa response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Comparison of gene expression profiles of androgen exposed (AE) and androgen deprived (AD) CWR22 PCa xenografts identified 596 upregulated and 748 downregulated genes after ADT. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed significant enrichment of the biological processes cell proliferation, cell cycle and metabolism and suggested suppression of these processes after ADT. A set of 80 hypoxia-inducible genes were identified in 22Rv1 and LNCaP cell lines treated with hypoxia and showed considerable overlap (53%) with the downregulated genes. Immunostaining of the hypoxia marker pimonidazole showed no difference between AE- and AD-tumors. Comparison of the differentially expressed genes with lists of 1115 direct AR- and 276 direct HIF1-target genes identified 138 AR- and 40 HIF1-targets that were regulated after ADT, including six shared AR- and HIF1-targets for which downregulation was confirmed with RT-PCR. Most HIF1-targets were downregulated and included in the significant biological processes and the set of hypoxia-inducible genes. The downregulation of HIF1-targets was consistent with decreased HIF1A immunostaining in AD- compared to AE-tumors (p=0.002). A decrease in HIF1A immunostaining after ADT was also demonstrated in a cohort of 35 PCa patients (p<0.001). These data suggest suppressed HIF1-signaling after ADT and a shared role of HIF1 and AR in the regressive phase of PCa after ADT. Prostate cancer xenografts were subjected to adrogen deprivation therapy and analysed with regard to changes in gene expressions. Cell culture experiments were performed to generate prostate cancer specific gene lists associated with hypoxia.

Project description:Tumour hypoxia is a recognised driver of breast cancer pathology. The main cellular response to hypoxia is mediated by the hypoxia-inducible factors HIF1 and HIF2, and is controlled through the regulation of oxygen-labile HIFα subunits. HIF1α has a well-established role in breast cancer where it has also been shown to be regulated by growth factor signalling. However, the role of HIF2α has been less thoroughly researched. Here, the role of HIF2α was investigated in breast cancer cell lines and publicly available gene expression datasets to determine its relationship with HER2 receptor expression in breast cancer. Using an isogenic cell line model for HER2 overexpression, we establish a direct role for HER2 in driving HIF2α expression in breast cancer. The effect of HER2-mediated HIF2α expression on the cellular response to acute and chronic hypoxia was investigated in 2D and 3D cell line models, and through protein and gene expression analysis, HER2 was shown to drive an exacerbated hypoxic response in these cells. In growth assays, HER2-overexpressing cell lines were shown to be highly sensitive to HIF2-specific inhibition through HIF2α-targeted siRNA and treatment with the HIF2α-specific translation inhibitor C76. Additionally, survival analysis in a large, publicly available dataset demonstrated a relationship between HIF2α and poor disease-specific survival in HER2-overexpressing tumours. We demonstrate a novel role for HIF2α in driving an increased hypoxic response in breast cancer cells and suggest HIF2 signalling may be an important, targetable pathway in HER2-positive breast cancers.

Project description:The high rates of mortality associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are a direct consequence of its metastatic nature. Metastasis is dependent on many factors, among which activation of angiogenesis is most significant. Angiogenesis is, in turn, contingent upon the cellular response to hypoxia within the tumor microenvironment. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) is a transcription factor composed of HIF1alpha and HIF1beta subunits and is the master regulator of the hypoxic response. It is therefore a critical mediator of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Regulation of HIF1 is primarily at the level of protein. In normoxia, the HIF1alpha subunit is hydroxylated via an oxygen- and iron-dependent mechanism and targeted for destruction. In hypoxia, low oxygen levels preclude hydroxylation and HIF1alpha is stabilized, allowing for its association with constitutively expressed HIF1beta to form bioactive HIF1. We have identified a novel mechanism of HIF1alpha regulation in EOC cells that involves microRNAs (miRs), ~22 nucleotide, non-coding RNA molecules that repress translation of target mRNAs by binding their 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs). Using microarray and qPCR analysis, we found that levels of miR-199a-1, a miR that is predicted in silico to target the HIF1alpha 3’ UTR, were reduced under hypoxia in EOC cells. We further demonstrated that miR-199a-1 directly targets the HIF1alpha 3’ UTR and overexpression of miR-199a-1 suppresses HIF1alpha protein levels and HIF1-driven gene expression. Moreover, cells stably overexpressing miR-199a-1 exhibit marked defects in migratory ability. These data were corroborated by our in vivo findings, which demonstrated that overexpression of miR-199a-1 causes significant reductions in tumor vessel density and tumor burden in nude mice. These findings provide insight into non-canonical, miR- and iron-based mechanisms of HIF1 regulation that may have important implications in the progression of EOC. miRNA expression analysis of A2780 epithelial ovarian cancer cells by microarrays

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by a loss of tumor suppressor Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) function, which leads to accumulation of hypoxia inducible factor (including HIF1 and HIF2). HIF2 was previously reported to be one of the major oncogenic drivers in ccRCC, however its therapeutic targeting remains challenging. Here we performed a deubiquitinase (DUB) cDNA library binding screen and discovered that USP37 is a DUB that binds HIF2 and promotes HIF2 deubiquitination. As a result, USP37 promotes HIF2 protein stability in an enzymatically dependent manner and depletion of USP37 leads to HIF2 downregulation in ccRCC. Functionally, USP37 depletion causes decreased cell proliferation measured by MTS, 2-D colony formation as well as 3-D anchorage independent growth. USP37 is also essential for maintaining kidney tumorigenesis in an orthotopic xenograft model and its depletion leads to decreased primary kidney tumorigenesis and spontaneous lung metastasis. Our results suggest that USP37 is a potential new therapeutic target in ccRCC.
