Abstract

Inflammatory responses are associated with significant changes in tissue metabolism. In particular, metabolic shifts during inflammation can result in significant tissue hypoxia, with resultant induction of hypoxia-responsive genes. Given this association, we hypothesized that leukocyte functional responses are influenced by hypoxia. Initial experiments revealed that exposure of the promonocytic cell line U937 to hypoxia resulted in increased adhesion to activated endothelia. Such increases were transcription-dependent and were blocked by antibodies directed against β 2 , but not β 1 , integrins. Analysis of β 2 integrin mRNA and protein in U937 cells revealed a 5- to 6-fold increase with hypoxia. Extension of this analysis to hypoxic human whole blood revealed prominent induction of β 2 integrin mRNA and protein ex vivo . Furthermore, murine β 2 integrin mRNA was found to be significantly induced during hypoxia in vivo . Subsequent studies identified a binding site for hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) in the CD18 gene. This gene encodes the subunit common to all four known types of β 2 integrin heterodimer. HIF-1 binding was demonstrated in vivo , and mutational analysis of the HIF-1 site within the CD18 promoter resulted in a loss of hypoxia inducibility. Taken together, these results demonstrate that hypoxia induces leukocyte β 2 integrin expression and function by transcriptional mechanisms dependent upon HIF-1.

  • HIF-1α transcriptionally controls the β2 integrin (CD18), important in all myeloid cell adhesion and transmigration.

    “Finally, compelling evidence have revealed that HIF-1α transcriptionally controls the critical integrin important in all myeloid cell adhesion and transmigration, namely the β2 integrin (CD18)34,35.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
