Project description:The expression of inflammatory genes were downregulated in Hif-p4h-1 KO mouse embryonic fibroblasts both in normoxic and hypoxic condition, whereas the apoptosis regulation genes were upregulated or anti-apoptotic genes were downregulated in Hif-p4h-1 KO mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We used microarray to study the differential expression of genes in Hif-p4h-1 knockout versus WT mouse embryonic fibroblasts
Project description:Analysis of the binding sites of Hif-1α in both wild-type and von Hippel Lindau mutant zebrafish lines at 4dpf by ChIP linked next generation sequencing. The von Hippel Lindau mutant displays a systemic hypoxic response under normoxic conditions. Results show the extent of Hif-1α binding to the genome, and provide a basis for analysis of the transcriptional response to genetically induced hypoxia in zebrafish. Analysis of the DNA binding sites of Hif-1α in both wild-type and von Hippel Lindau mutant zebrafish lines at 4dpf. The von Hippel Lindau mutant displays a systemic hypoxic response under normoxic conditions. Results show the extent of Hif-1α binding to the genome, and provide a basis for analysis of the dependency of the transcriptional response on Hif-1α in conditions of genetically induced hypoxia in zebrafish.
Project description:Investigation whether hypoxic stabilization of HIF-1alpha quantitatively or qualitatively modifies the gene expression pattern induced by poly I:C, a TLR ligand that does not induce normoxic HIF-1alpha stabilization on its own (non-HIF-1alpha-stabilizing TLR ligand). Keywords: Comparison of single and combined treatment Bone marrow derived Dendritic Cells from mice were stimulated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions for 16h with media or poly I:C. Total cellular RNA was harvested, labeled and hybridised to Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST 1.0 GeneChips. Cel files were normalized with RMA.
Project description:The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in hepatocyte gene expression under short-term hypoxic conditions in wild type and HIF-1a null cultures. To this end, hypoxia treated cultures were subjected to incubation with 1% O2/5% CO2/94% N2 at 37° C for eight hours prior to RNA isolation. Duplicate normoxic controls were established from separate animals wherein cultures were untreated and treated with Adbgal. Biological triplicates of wild type and HIF-1a null cultures were placed under hypoxic conditions and subsequently processed for microarray analysis. A total of 10 microarray hybridizations were performed.

Project description:HIF-metagene identifies hypoxic or constitutive HIF activation in scRNA-seq. Hypoxic normal cells have higher HIF-metagene scores than normoxic normal cells, and ccRCC tumour cells (harbouring VHL inactivation) have higher HIF-metagene score than normal cells.
Project description:Human HeLa cells were either kept in a hypoxic environment or under normoxic conditions. 137 proteins were found to be regulated, with maximum alteration of 18-fold. In particular, three clusters of differentially regulated proteins were identified, showing significant up-regulation of glycolysis and down-regulation of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins and translocases. This interaction is likely orchestrated by HIF-1. We also investigated the effect of hypoxia on the cell cycle, which is arrested at a restriction point in G1, and shows a prolonged S phase under these conditions.
Project description:In hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (PH), pulmonary vascular remodeling is characterized by the emergence of activated adventitial fibroblasts, leading to medial smooth muscle hyperplasia. Previous studies have suggested that CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) plays a crucial role in the pathobiological processes in lung diseases. However, its role in pulmonary fibroblasts in hy-poxic PH remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the mechanistic role of CD26/DPP4 in lung fibroblasts in hypoxic PH. Dpp4 knockout (Dpp4 KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were exposed to hypoxia for 4 weeks. The degree of PH severity and medial wall thickness was augmented in Dpp4 KO mice compared with that in WT mice, suggesting that CD26/DPP4 plays a suppressive role in the development of hypoxic PH. Transcriptome analysis of human lung fibroblasts cultured under hypoxic conditions revealed that TGFB2, TGFB3, and TGFA were all upregulated as differentially expressed genes after DPP4 knockdown with small interfering RNA treatment. These results suggest that CD26/DPP4 plays a suppressive role in TGFβ signal-regulated fibroblast ac-tivation under hypoxic conditions. Therefore, CD26/DPP4 may be a potential therapeutic target in patients with PH associated with chronic hypoxia.
