Abstract

Transcriptional adaptations to hypoxia are mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1, a heterodimer of HIF-alpha and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator subunits. The HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha subunits both undergo rapid hypoxia-induced protein stabilization and bind identical target DNA sequences. When coexpressed in similar cell types, discriminating control mechanisms may exist for their regulation, explaining why HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha do not substitute during embryogenesis. We report that, in a human lung epithelial cell line (A549), HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha proteins were similarly induced by acute hypoxia (4 h, 0.5% O(2)) at the translational or posttranslational level. However, HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha were differentially regulated by prolonged hypoxia (12 h, 0.5% O(2)) since HIF-1alpha protein stimulation disappeared because of a reduction in its mRNA stability, whereas HIF-2alpha protein stimulation remained high and stable. Prolonged hypoxia also induced an increase in the quantity of natural antisense HIF-1alpha (aHIF), whose gene promoter contains several putative hypoxia response elements to which (as we confirm here) the HIF-1alpha or HIF-2alpha protein can bind. Finally, transient transfection of A549 cells by dominant-negative HIF-2alpha, also acting as a dominant-negative for HIF-1alpha, prevented both the decrease in the HIF-1alpha protein and the increase in the aHIF transcript. Taken together, these data indicate that, during prolonged hypoxia, HIF-alpha proteins negatively regulate HIF-1alpha expression through an increase in aHIF and destabilization of HIF-1alpha mRNA. This trans-regulation between HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha during hypoxia likely conveys target gene specificity.

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.
