Project description:Ammonia is a toxic by-product of metabolism that causes cellular stress. Although a number of proteins are involved in adaptive stress response, specific factors that counteract ammonia-induced cellular stress and regulate cell metabolism that facilitate survival against toxicity have yet to be identified. We demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is stabilised and activated by ammonia stress. HIF-1α activated by ammonium chloride compromises ammonia-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we identified glutamine synthetase (GS) as a key driver of cancer cell proliferation and glutamine-dependent metabolism under ammonia stress in ovarian cancer stem-like cells expressing CD90. Interestingly, activated HIF-1α counteracts glutamine synthetase function in glutamine metabolism by facilitating glycolysis and elevating glucose dependency. Our studies reveal the hitherto unknown functions of HIF-1α in biphasic ammonia stress management in cancer stem-like cells. GS facilitates proliferation and HIF-1α contributes to metabolic remodelling in cellular energy usage resulting in attenuated proliferation but conversely promoting cell survival.

Project description:Hypoxia can result in tissue dysfunction, metabolic alterations, and structural damage within the pulmonary tissue, thereby impacting lung ventilation and air exchange. The identification of Hypoxia-inducible factor (Hif) 1α as a pivotal mediator in the inflammatory cascade subsequent to hypoxia induction has been established. However, the mechanism remains elusive. To delve deeper into this phenomenon, we have developed a murine model of sustained hypoxia and utilized nanocarriers for the delivery of lentivirus Hif-1α for knockdown purposes. Our findings suggest that under conditions of sustained hypoxia, knockdown of Hif-1α effectively ameliorated SpO2 levels and attenuated lung injury in our murine model. We observed that Hif-1α-mediated Histone Lactylation was evident in the lungs exposed to sustained hypoxia. Through RNA-seq and ChIP-seq profiling, we determined that upregulation of Hif-1α expression in sustained hypoxic lung tissue is essential for inducing lactylation enrichment of inflammatory response genes. Furthermore, knockdown of Hif-1α returned to normal inflammatory cytokines (e.g. TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β). Analysis of plasma metabolites from individuals experiencing restrictive/ obstructive lung disease revealed a significant enrichment of the Warburg effect within the sustained hypoxic group. Thus, our study provides compelling evidence supporting the notion that targeting Hif-1α-mediated histone lactylation may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for managing sustained hypoxia-induced lung injury.

Project description:Acute liver injury (ALI) is a potentially life-threatening condition lacking effective clinical drugs. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key regulator of both inflammation and metabolism. In ALI, HIF-1α expressions are upregulated, but the role of HIF-1α in hepatocytes and whether it can be targeted remain unclear. Herein, clinical samples and ALI murine models including lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN), acetaminophen (APAP), and thioacetamide (TAA) revealed an increase in HIF-1α expression and ferroptosis. Using HIF-1α gain and loss of function mouse and hepatocyte culture models, we demonstrated that HIF-1α upregulation exacerbated liver ferroptosis and injury. Mechanistically, HIF-1α/transferrin receptor protein 1 (TFR1) axis drives hepatic iron overload, promoting ferroptotic cell death and liver injury. In addition, TFR1 inhibition reversed HIF-1α-induced ALI. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of HIF-1α and TFR1 significantly reduced ferroptosis and mitigated liver injury both in vivo and in vitro. Together, our findings demonstrate the pathological role of hepatic HIF-1α, which may serve as a promising target of therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Injured peripheral neurons successfully activate a pro-regenerative transcriptional program to enable axon regeneration and functional recovery. How transcriptional regulators coordinate the expression of such programs remains unclear. Here we show that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) controls multiple injury-induced genes in sensory neurons and contribute to the pre-conditioning lesion effect. Knockdown of HIF-1α in vitro or conditional knockout in vivo impairs sensory axon regeneration. The HIF-1α target gene Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) is expressed in injured neurons and contributes to stimulate axon regeneration. Induction of HIF-1α using hypoxia enhances axon regeneration in vitro and in vivo in sensory neurons. Hypoxia also stimulates motor neuron regeneration and accelerates neuromuscular junction reinnervation. This study demonstrates that HIF-1α represents a critical transcriptional regulator in regenerating neurons and suggests hypoxia as a tool to stimulate axon regeneration.

Project description:Background: Intestine epithelial hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) plays a critical role in maintaining gut barrier function. The aim of this study was to determine genetic activation of intestinal HIF-1α ameliorates western diet-induced metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Methods: Male and/or female intestinal epithelial-specific Hif1α overexpression mice (Hif1α LSL/LSL;VilERcre) and wild-type littermates (Hif1α LSL/LSL) were fed with regular chow diet, high fructose (HFr) or high-fat (60% Kcal) high-fructose diet (HFHFr) for 8 weeks. Metabolic phenotypes were profiled. Results: Male Hif1α LSL/LSL;VilERcre mice exhibited markedly improved glucose tolerance compared to Hif1α LSL/LSL mice in response to HFr diet. Eight weeks HFHFr feeding led to obesity in both Hif1α LSL/LSL;VilERcre and Hif1α LSL/LSL mice. However, male Hif1α LSL/LSL;VilERcre mice exhibited markedly attenuated hepatic steatosis along with reduced liver size and liver weight compared to male Hif1α LSL/LSL mice. Moreover, HFHFr-induced systemic inflammatory responses were mitigated in male Hif1α LSL/LSL;VilERcre mice compared to male Hif1α LSL/LSL mice and those responses were not evident in female mice. Ileum RNA-seq analysis revealed that glycolysis/gluconeogenesis was up in male Hif1α LSL/LSL;VilERcre mice accompanied by increased epithelial cell proliferation. Conclusion: Our data provide evidence that genetic activation of intestinal HIF-1α markedly ameliorates western diet-induced MASLD in a sex-dependent manner. The underlying mechanism is likely attributed to HIF-1α activation induced upregulation of glycolysis, which, in turn, leading to enhanced epithelial cell proliferation and augmented gut barrier function.

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a central transcriptional regulator of genes associated with adaptive responses to hypoxia. NPM1 is a histone chaperone found to associate with HIF-1α in a phosphorylation dependent manner and increase its activty. The aim of this study was to find if HIF-1α and NPM1 regualate gene expression under hypoxia. Transcriptome analysis using Quant-RNA-seq after HIF-1α or NPM1 silencing under hypoxia reveals a significant number of genes, the hypoxic expression of which depends on both proteins.
