NHR-49 controls a HIF-1 independent hypoxia adaptation pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans

ABSTRACT: The response to insufficient oxygen, termed hypoxia, is orchestrated by the conserved master regulator Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1), which is hyperactive in many cancers. Here, we describe a HIF-1 independent hypoxia response pathway controlled by Caenorhabditis elegans Nuclear Hormone Receptor NHR-49, an orthologue of mammalian lipid metabolism regulator Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPARα). nhr-49 is required for worm survival in hypoxia and is synthetically lethal with hif-1 in this context, demonstrating independent activity. RNA-seq data show that nhr-49 regulates a set of hif-1 independent hypoxia responsive genes, including autophagy genes that promote hypoxia survival. We further identified the Nuclear Hormone Receptor nhr-67 as a negative regulator and the Homeodomain-interacting Protein Kinase hpk-1 as a positive regulator in the NHR-49 pathway. Together, our experiments describe an essential hypoxia response pathway controlled by nhr-49 that includes new upstream and downstream components and is as important as hif-1 dependent hypoxia adaptation.

Hypoxia-inducible factor cell non-autonomously regulates C. elegans stress responses and behavior via a nuclear receptor

Project description:The HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) transcription factor is the master regulator of the metazoan response to chronic hypoxia. In addition to promoting adaptations to low oxygen, HIF drives cytoprotective mechanisms in response to stresses and modulates neural circuit function. How most HIF targets act in the control of the diverse aspects of HIF-regulated biology remains unknown. We discovered that a HIF target, the C. elegans gene cyp-36A1, is required for numerous HIF-dependent processes, including modulation of gene expression, stress resistance, and behavior. cyp-36A1 encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme that we show controls expression of more than a third of HIF-induced genes. CYP-36A1 acts cell non-autonomously by regulating the activity of the nuclear hormone receptor NHR-46, suggesting that CYP-36A1 functions as a biosynthetic enzyme for a hormone ligand of this receptor. We propose that regulation of HIF effectors through activation of cytochrome P450 enzyme/nuclear receptor signaling pathways could similarly occur in humans.

Loss of hsf-1 initiates intracellular lipid surveillance

Project description:To identify genes transcriptionally regulated by the nuclear hormone receptor, NHR-49, we performed RNA sequencing of wild-type and nhr-49(nr2041) loss-of-function mutant C. elegans. This transcriptomic dataset is utilized in the respective study to compare differentially regulated genes in nhr-49(nr2041) mutant worms to those treated with hsf-1 RNAi.

NHR-49/HNF4 integrates regulation of fatty acid metabolism with a protective transcriptional response to oxidative stress and fasting

Project description:Endogenous and exogenous stresses elicit transcriptional responses that limit damage and promote cell/organismal survival. Like its mammalian counterparts, Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 (HNF4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor a (PPARa), Caenorhabditis elegans NHR-49 is a well-established regulator of lipid metabolism. Here, we reveal that NHR-49 is essential to activate a transcriptional response common to organic peroxide and fasting, which includes the pro-longevity gene fmo-2/flavin-containing monoxygenase. These NHR-49-dependent, stress-responsive genes are also upregulated in long-lived glp-1/notch receptor mutants, and two of them contribute to increased oxidative stress resistance in wild-type worms and long-lived glp-1 mutants. Similar to its role in lipid metabolism, NHR-49 requires the Mediator subunit mdt-15 to promote stress-induced gene expression. However, NHR-49 acts independently from the transcription factor hlh-30/TFEB that also promotes fmo-2 expression. Similarly, activation of the p38 MAPK, PMK-1, which is important for adaptation to a variety of stresses, is only important for peroxide-induced expression of a subset of NHR-49-dependent genes, including fmo-2. Notably, we find that organic peroxide increases NHR-49 protein levels, apparently by a post-transcriptional mechanism that does not require PMK-1 activation. Together these findings establish a new role for the HNF4/PPARa-related NHR-49 as a stress-activated regulator of cytoprotective gene expression.

HIF- and non-HIF-Regulated Hypoxic Responses Require the Estrogen-Related Receptor in Drosophila

Project description:Low-oxygen tolerance is supported by an adaptive response that includes a coordinate shift in metabolism and the activation of a transcriptional program that is driven by the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway. The precise contribution of HIF-1 in the adaptive response, however, has not been determined. Here we investigate how HIF-1 influences hypoxic adaptation throughout Drosophila development. We find that hypoxic-induced transcriptional changes are comprised of HIF-dependent and HIF-independent pathways that are distinct and separable. We show that normoxic set-points of carbohydrate metabolites are significantly altered in dHIF mutants and that these animals are unable to mobilize glycogen in hypoxia. Furthermore, we find that the estrogen-related receptor (dERR), which is a global regulator of aerobic glycolysis in larvae, is required for a competent hypoxic response. dERR binds to dHIF and participates in the HIF-dependent transcriptional program in hypoxia. In addition, dERR acts in the absence of dHIF in hypoxia and a significant portion of HIF-independent transcriptional responses can be attributed to dERR actions, including upregulation of glycolytic transcripts. These results indicate that competent hypoxic responses arise from complex interactions between HIF-dependent and -independent mechanisms, and that dERR plays a central role in both of these programs.

RNA-Sequencing used to identify the targets of NHR-49, a transcription factor that acts in distinct tissues to promote longevity versus immunity

Project description:Previously, we identified NHR-49, functional homolog of the key vertebrate lipid metabolism regulator HNF4/PPARa, as essential for the longevity of Germiline Strem Cell (GSC)-less animals. Since longevity and stress resistance have been reported to be strongly linked, we examined the role of NHR-49 in resistance against the human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strain PA14. As a part of this effort we employed RNA-Sequencing to determine the downstream targets of NHR-49 in GSC-less animals.

Gene expression under short-term moderate hypoxia and in the HIF-1 negative regulator mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Hypoxia inducible transcription factor HIF is the master regulator of hypoxia response in metazoans. The stability and activity of HIF are tightly regulated. In the model organism C. elegans, the homolog of HIF is HIF-1. The stability and activity of HIF-1 are negatively regulated by vhl-1, egl-9, rhy-1 and swan-1 when HIF-1 is stabilized by vhl-1 mutation. Here, we are using Affymetrix microarray to measure the immediate gene expression changes under short-term hypoxia treatment (2 hours of 0.5% oxygen treatment). We also want to understand whether the HIF-1 acvitity negative regulators function in common pathway(s) to regulate HIF-1 activity or not. We find that gene expression patterns in these HIF-1 activity negative regulator mutants are extraordinarily similar, which supports the model that they function in common pathway(s) to regulate HIF-1 activity.

FIH regulates cellular metabolism through hydroxylation of the deubiquitinase OTUB1.

Project description:The asparagine hydroxylase, factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) confers oxygen-dependence upon the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a master regulator of the cellular adaptive response to hypoxia. Studies investigating whether asparagine hydroxylation is a general regulatory oxygen-dependent modification have identified multiple non-HIF targets for FIH. However the functional consequences of this outside of the HIF pathway remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the deubiquitinase ovarian tumor domain containing, ubiquitin aldehyde binding protein 1 (OTUB1) is a substrate for hydroxylation by endogenous FIH on N22. Mutation of N22 leads to a profound change in the interaction of OTUB1 with proteins important in cellular metabolism. Furthermore, mutant OTUB1 (lacking the hydroxylation site) impairs cellular metabolic processes when compared to wild type. Based on these data, we hypothesize that OTUB1 is a target for functional hydroxylation by FIH, and propose that this provides new insight into the regulation of cellular energy metabolism during hypoxia.

Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase maintains neuronal homeostasis during normal Caenorhabditis elegans aging and systemically regulates longevity from serotonergic and GABAergic neurons

Project description:Aging and the age-associated decline of the proteome is determined in part through neuronal control of evolutionarily conserved transcriptional effectors, which safeguard homeostasis under fluctuating metabolic and stress conditions by regulating an expansive proteostatic network. We have discovered the Caenorhabditis elegans homeodomain-interacting protein kinase (HPK-1) acts as a key transcriptional effector to preserve neuronal integrity, function, and proteostasis during aging. Loss of hpk-1 results in drastic dysregulation in expression of neuronal genes, including premature upregulation of genes associated with neuronal aging. During normal aging hpk-1 expression increases throughout the nervous system and in more cell-clusters than any other kinase. Within the aging nervous system, hpk-1 is co-expressed with key longevity transcription factors, including daf-16 (FOXO), hlh-30 (TFEB), skn-1 (Nrf2), and hif-1, which suggests hpk-1 expression mitigates natural age-associated physiological decline. Consistently, pan-neuronal overexpression of hpk-1 extends longevity, preserves proteostasis both within and outside of the nervous system, and improves stress resistance. Neuronal HPK-1 improves proteostasis through kinase activity. HPK-1 functions cell non-autonomously within serotonergic and GABAergic neurons to improve proteostasis in distal tissues by specifically regulating divergent components of the proteostatic network. Increased serotonergic HPK-1 enhances the heat shock response and survival to acute stress. In contrast, GABAergic HPK-1 induces basal autophagy and extends longevity. Our work establishes hpk-1 as a key neuronal transcriptional regulator that is critical for the preservation of neuronal function during aging and insight as to how the nervous system partitions acute and chronic adaptive response pathways to delay aging by maintaining organismal homeostasis.
