Project description:Chronic hypoxia induces pulmonary vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension (PH). While it is established that transcription factors, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α/HIF-2α) activate gene programs that drive hypoxia-induced PH, the mechanism of HIF-1/2 activation is less clear. Here, we report that carboxylterminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP or Stub1) modulates HIF-1α and HIF-2α transcription rather than reducing their stability. Knocking-down Stub1 reduced hypoxic activation of HIF-1α mRNA, protein, and activity while enhancing hypoxic induction of HIF-2α mRNA, protein, and target genes in pulmonary vascular cells. Mechanistically, CBP/p300-mediated acetylation of lysine (K287) inactivates the ubiquitin ligase activity of Stub1 and triggers its translocation from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. There, it recognizes the HIF promoter and hypoxia response elements (HREs) in target genes. Expression of Stub1-K287Q mutant (mimicking acetylation) enhanced hypoxia-induced HIF-1α expression, while acetyl-deficient Stub1-K287R mutant had the opposite effect on HIF-α but enhanced hypoxia-induced HIF-2α transcriptional activity. Endothelial-Stub1 transgenic mice tolerated chronic hypoxia better, had less pulmonary vascular remodeling, reduced pulmonary vascular resistance, and greater cardioprotection. Thus, Stub1 nuclear translocation enhances hypoxic induction of HIF-1α activity while suppressing deleterious effects of HIF-2α. These observations indicate that nuclear-Stub1 synergizes with HIF-1α to promote transcriptional responses and antagonizes HIF2α-driven PH in chronic hypoxia.

Project description:To investigate the detailed molecular mechanisms for the regulatory role of HIF-2α in experimental colitis, microarray gene expression analysis was performed on colon RNA isolated from 6- to 8-week-old Hif-2αF/F, Hif-2αlΔIE mice treated with 3%DSS for 3 days. Background & Aims: Hypoxic inflammation is characterized by decreased oxygen tension in inflammatory foci, and is a notable feature in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Hypoxic response is mediated by transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α, both of which are highly induced in IBD. HIF-1α is a protective factor that limits intestinal barrier dysfunction during inflammation. However, the role of HIF-2α has not been assessed in hypoxic inflammation and IBD. Methods: A hypoxia reporter mouse model was used to test the presence of hypoxia and HIF-2α in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and Citrobacter rodentium (C.rod)-induced colitis. The role of HIF-2α in these mouse models of colitis was further assessed in mice with an intestinal epithelium-specific gain- and loss-of-function of HIF-2α. Results: Induction of hypoxia and HIF-2α was confirmed in both murine experimental colitis models and human IBD samples. Disruption of HIF-2α attenuated colonic inflammation whereas stabilization of HIF-2α potentiated inflammation in mouse models of colitis. Interestingly, intestine specific overexpression of HIF-2α but not HIF-1α leads to spontaneous colitis and premature death in mice. Further mechanistic analysis showed that HIF-2α is a driver for pro-inflammatory response and is critical regulator of intestinal epithelial-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Blocking TNF-α completely ameliorated HIF-2α potentiated intestinal inflammation. Conclusions: These data demonstrate that HIF-2α is a critical transcription factor essential in intestinal epithelium elicited inflammatory response.

Project description:Hypoxia is a common feature of many solid tumors due to aberrant proliferation and angiogenesis that is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. Most of the well-known hypoxia effects are mediated through hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Identification of the long-lasting effects of hypoxia beyond the immediate HIF-induced alterations could provide a better understanding of hypoxia-driven metastasis and potential strategies to circumvent it. Here, we uncovered a hypoxia-induced mechanism that exerts a prolonged effect to promote metastasis. In breast cancer patient-derived circulating tumor cell (CTC) lines and common breast cancer cell lines, hypoxia downregulated tumor intrinsic type I interferon (IFN) signaling and its downstream antigen presentation (AP) machinery in luminal breast cancer cells, via both HIF-dependent and HIF-independent mechanisms. Hypoxia induced durable IFN/AP suppression in certain cell types that was sustained after returning to normoxic conditions, presenting a “hypoxic memory” phenotype. Hypoxic memory of IFN/AP downregulation was established by specific hypoxic priming, and cells with hypoxic memory had an enhanced ability for tumorigenesis and metastasis. Overexpression of IRF3 enhanced IFN signaling and reduced tumor growth in normoxic, but not hypoxic, conditions. The histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) entinostat upregulated IFN targets and erased the hypoxic memory. These results point to a mechanism by which hypoxia facilitates tumor progression through a long-lasting memory that provides advantages for CTCs during the metastatic cascade.

Project description:Intestinal epithelia exist in a uniquely dynamic oxygen tension microenvironment. Adaptive responses to hypoxia in mammalian cells are regulated largely by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) transcriptional complexes. Functional HIF exists as an obligate alpha/beta heterodimer, comprising both a constitutive subunit (HIF-1beta), and an oxygen-labile regulatory (alpha) component. To date, three regulatory subunits have been identified, namely HIF-1alpha, HIF-2alpha, and HIF-3alpha, with the highest level of sequence homology conserved between HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha. Despite their concurrent expression in intestinal epithelial cells, HIF-1 and HIF-2 play non-redundant roles in the regulation of an overlapping but distinct set of gene targets. In this study, we performed ChIP-on-chip analysis of chromatin isolated from hypoxic intestinal epithelia to delineate HIF-1 and HIF-2 specific loci. Comparison of HIF-1alpha ChIP-chip and HIF-2alpha ChIP-chip to map HIF-1- and HIF-2-specific gene targets across the genome.

Project description:This a model from the article:
Hypoxia-dependent sequestration of an oxygen sensor by a widespread structural motif can shape the hypoxic response - a predictive kinetic model

BMC Systems Biology2010, 4:139

Abstract:
Background
The activity of the heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is regulated by the post-translational, oxygen-dependent hydroxylation of its α-subunit by members of the prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD or EGLN)-family and by factor inhibiting HIF (FIH). PHD-dependent hydroxylation targets HIFα for rapid proteasomal degradation; FIH-catalysed asparaginyl-hydroxylation of the C-terminal transactivation domain (CAD) of HIFα suppresses the CAD-dependent subset of the extensive transcriptional responses induced by HIF. FIH can also hydroxylate ankyrin-repeat domain (ARD) proteins, a large group of proteins which are functionally unrelated but share common structural features. Competition by ARD proteins for FIH is hypothesised to affect FIH activity towards HIFα; however the extent of this competition and its effect on the HIF-dependent hypoxic response are unknown.
Results
To analyse if and in which way the FIH/ARD protein interaction affects HIF-activity, we created a rate equation model. Our model predicts that an oxygen-regulated sequestration of FIH by ARD proteins significantly shapes the input/output characteristics of the HIF system. The FIH/ARD protein interaction is predicted to create an oxygen threshold for HIFα CAD-hydroxylation and to significantly sharpen the signal/response curves, which not only focuses HIFα CAD-hydroxylation into a defined range of oxygen tensions, but also makes the response ultrasensitive to varying oxygen tensions. Our model further suggests that the hydroxylation status of the ARD protein pool can encode the strength and the duration of a hypoxic episode, which may allow cells to memorise these features for a certain time period after reoxygenation.
Conclusions
The FIH/ARD protein interaction has the potential to contribute to oxygen-range finding, can sensitise the response to changes in oxygen levels, and can provide a memory of the strength and the duration of a hypoxic episode. These emergent properties are predicted to significantly shape the characteristics of HIF activity in animal cells. We argue that the FIH/ARD interaction should be taken into account in studies of the effect of pharmacological inhibition of the HIF-hydroxylases and propose that the interaction of a signalling sensor with a large group of proteins might be a general mechanism for the regulation of signalling pathways.
There are there models described in the paper. 1) Skeleton Model 1 (SKM1) - HIFα CAD-hydroxylation in the absence of the FIH/AR-interaction. 2) Skeleton Model 2 (SKM2) - FIG sequestration by ARD proteins and oxygen-dependent FIH-release. 3) Full Model (Fusion of SKM1 and SKM2) - the effects of the FIH/ARD proteins interaction on HIFα CAD-hydroxylation.
This model corresponds to the "Full Model" described in the paper. The model reproduces figure 5 of the publication.

Project description:Background: Tibetan chicken, a unique plateau breed, has a suite of adaptive features that enable it to tolerate the high-altitude hypoxic environment. HIF‐1α (hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha) is a crucial mediator of the cellular response to hypoxia. HIF‐1α maintains oxygen homeostasis by inducing glycolysis, erythropoiesis, and angiogenesis; however, the target genes involved in adaptive responses to hypoxia in animals and birds of plateaus are still unclear. Results: We used ChIP-seq to map HIF‐1α binding regions in chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) tissue of chicken embryos, and identified 752 HIF-1α target genes (TG), of which 112 were differentially expressed target genes (DTGs) between the two breeds. We found that eight genes (PTK2, GPNMB, CALD1, SLC25A1, SPRY2, NUPL2, RANBPL, and CBWD1) play important roles in hypoxic adaption by regulating blood vessel development, energy metabolism through angiogenesis, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and various hypoxia-related signaling pathways (including VEGF and MAPK) in Tibetan chickens during embryonic development. Conclusions: This study enhances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan chickens and provides new insights into adaptation to hypoxia in humans and other species living at high altitude.
