Project description:In this study, we provide new insight into the role of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) complex in the inhibition of syncytiotrophoblast formation under low oxygen. Through a genome-wide analysis of binding sites for the aryl hydrocarbon nuclear receptor translocator (ARNT; a key component of HIF), we identified the downstream targets of ARNT/HIF that potentially mediate its repressive effect on syncytialization.

Project description:Alternative RNA splicing analysis in Hep3B cell cultured under 21% (N1,3,5) or 1.2% (H2,4,6) oxygen Hypoxia is a common characteristic of many solid tumors. The hypoxic microenvironment stabilizes hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1? (HIF1?) and 2? (HIF2?) to activate gene transcription, which promotes tumor cell survival. 95% of human genes are alternatively spliced, producing RNA isoforms that code functionally distinct proteins. Thus, effective hypoxia response requires increased HIF target gene transcription as well as proper RNA splicing of these HIF target genes. However, it is unclear if and how hypoxia regulates RNA splicing of HIF target genes. This study determined the effects of hypoxia on alternative splicing (AS) of HIF and non-HIF target genes in Hep3B cells and characterized the role of HIF in regulating AS of HIF induced genes. The results indicated that hypoxia generally promotes exon inclusion for hypoxia-induced, but reduces exon inclusion for hypoxia reduced genes. Mechanistically, HIF activity, but not hypoxia per se is found to be necessary and sufficient to increase exon inclusion of several HIF target genes including pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1). PDK1 splicing reporters confirmed that transcriptional activation by HIF is sufficient to increase exon inclusion of PDK1 splicing reporter. In contrast, transcriptional activation of the PDK1 minigene by other transcription factor in the absence of endogenous HIF target gene activation fails to alter PDK1 RNA splicing, demonstrating a novel role of HIF target gene(s) in regulating RNA splicing of HIF target genes. Implications:This study demonstrates a novel function of HIF in regulating RNA splicing of HIF target genes. We analyzed total RNA from Hep3B cells cultured under 21% (N1,3,5) or 1.2% (H2,4,6) oxygen using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Altanalyze software version 2.0.7. Techinical replicates were performed for Nx and Hx treated Hep3B cells

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), an αβ dimer, is the master regulator of oxygen homeostasis. HIF induces the expression of several hundred genes under hypoxic conditions. Three HIF isoforms differing in the oxygen-sensitive α subunit exist in vertebrates. While HIF-1 and HIF-2 are known transcription activators, HIF-3 has been considered as a negative regulator of the hypoxia response pathway by formation of inactive dimers between the HIF-3α and HIF-1α or HIF-2α subunit. However, the human HIF3A mRNA is subject to complex alternative splicing, which leads to production of both long and short HIF-3α variants. It has been shown recently that the long HIF-3α variants can form αβ dimers that possess transcriptional activation capacity, while the short splice variant inhibits hypoxia-inducible gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses of HIF-3α2 overexpression in Hep3B cells show that HIF-3α2 binding associates with canonical hypoxia response elements (5'-RCGTG-3') in the promoter regions of the erythropoietin (EPO) gene among others. Luciferase reporter assays show that the identified HIF-3α2 chromatin-binding regions are sufficient to promote transcription by HIF-3α2 and HIF-1. Furthermore, HIF-3α2 overexpression and knock-down studies by siRNA targeting the HIF3A gene show that EPO mRNA and protein levels are upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Taken together, the results show that HIF-3α2 is a transcription activator that is directly involved in erythropoietin signaling.

Project description:The adaptation of regimented exercise in skeletal muscle including muscular hypertrophy and enhanced strength decline significantly with aging. Transcriptome analysis following RNA sequencing reveals extensive activation of hypoxia-related genes in young exercised mice versus the sedentary, but absent in aged exercised mice. Particularly, less expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor translocator (ARNT) was observed in response to exercise in aged mice. Young mice underwent skeletal muscle-specific knockout of ARNT (ARNT mKO) obtain deficient benefit from exercise resembling the aged mice. The deletion of ARNT associated with decreased expression of Notch1 intracellular domain(N1ICD) impair muscle hypertrophy and regeneration. Administration of ML228, a systematic agonist of ARNT, rescued skeletal muscle adaptabilities in old mice, which was suppressed by administrating N1ICD inhibitor(DAPT). These results suggest that the loss of skeletal muscle ARNT is partially responsible for diminished response to exercise in aging and activation of hypoxia signaling holds promise for rescuing the adaptability in aged muscle.

Project description:DNA binding profiling of endogenous HIF1A on proximal promoters in human HeLa cells exposed to 1% oxygen (hypoxia), using normoxic cells (21% oxygen) as reference.<br><br>Biological background: The Hypoxia Inducible Factor Family of transcription factors is proposed as the main orchestrator of the cellular response to hypoxia. HIFs are heterodimers of a HIF alpha and a HIF beta subunit. HIF alpha protein stability is regulated by oxygen-dependent proteasomal degradation, and hence HIFs are strongly stabilized in hypoxia.<br><br>Purpose of the study: a number of HIF1 ChIP-chip studies have been reported, employing various cell types, array platforms and HIF antibodies, and the overlap of HIF binding locations in these studies is relatively small. The aim of this study was to characterize HIF1 binding in an additional cell line (HeLa), and employing a different HIFalpha antibody.<br><br>Experimental design: We conducted a total of six hybridizations employing four biological replicates. For two biological replicates, we performed dye-swap technical replicate experiments.<br><br>Results summary: We identified 55 HIF binding locations in HeLa cells (FDR<2%). While this number is relatively low compared to previous studies, presumably due to limiting antibody sensitivity, the overlap with data from other cell lines is comparable to our HeLa data.

Project description:The human HIF3A gene undergoes extensive alternative splicing resulting in seven known isoforms. The short splice variant, HIF-3alpha4, is an inhibitor of the hypoxia response driven by HIF-1 and HIF-2. The role of the long isoforms remains unclear. We used cDNA microarray to study the overall impact of HIF-3a2 overexpression in Hep3B cells under 1 % hypoxia.

Project description:Loss of tumor suppressor proteins, such as the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), results in tumor progression and metastasis. Metastasis is facilitated by low oxygen availability within the tumor that is detected by hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs). The HIF1 complex, HIF1α and dimerization partner the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), is the master regulator of the hypoxic response. Previously, we demonstrated that Rb represses the transcriptional response to hypoxia by virtue of its association with HIF1. In this report, we further characterized the role of Rb in HIF1-regulated genetic programs by stably ablating Rb expression with retrovirally-introduced short hairpin RNA in LNCaP and 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells. DNA microarray analysis revealed that Rb regulates specific chromosomal gene clusters and loss of Rb in conjunction with hypoxia leads to dysregulation of HIF1-regulated genetic programs that increase cell invasion and promote neuroendocrine differentiation. For the first time, we have established a direct link between hypoxic tumor environments, Rb inactivation and progression to late stage metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Understanding the molecular pathways responsible for progression of benign prostate tumors to metastasized and lethal forms will aid in the development of more effective prostate cancer therapies. RNAs derived from human LNCaP cells stably infected with either scrambled control shRNA or a shRNA directed to RB1. Cells were exposed to either 24 h hypoxia (1% O2) or maintained under normoxic conditions. Biological triplicates were tested and compared.
