- W2237145215 abstract "Oxygen is essential for aerobic organisms, as shortage of oxygen (hypoxia) can induce cellular dysfunctions and even cell death, leading to tissue damage and decreased viability of the organism. Oxygen homeostasis is regulated delicately by several mechanisms, the major one being the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway that is evolutionarily conserved. HIFα subunits are regulated in an oxygen-dependent manner via three HIF prolyl 4-hydroxylases (HIF-P4Hs). In the presence of oxygen HIF-P4Hs modify HIFα, which leads to its degradation, whereas in hypoxia the HIF-P4H enzymes cannot function and HIFα is stabilized. HIF regulates more than 300 genes that enhance oxygen delivery from the lungs to tissues and reduce oxygen consumption in tissues, such as those for erythropoietin and vascular endothelial growth factor. When a tissue suffers from hypoxia caused by a circulatory restriction, the situation is called ischemia. In this study we used a genetically modified HIF-P4H-2 hypomorph mouse line that expresses 8% of the wild-type Hif-p4h-2 mRNA in the heart and 19% in skeletal muscle, and has HIFα stabilization in both tissues. We showed that chronic HIF-P4H-2 deficiency leads to protection against acute ischemic injury both in the heart and in skeletal muscle. The protection was mainly due to enlarged capillaries and better perfusion in both tissues. Hypoxia is known to decrease body weight. The observation of the HIF-P4H-2 deficient mice being leaner than their wild-type littermates led us to study their body constitution, metabolism and adipose tissue in detail. We discovered that chronic HIF-P4H-2 deficiency protects against obesity and several metabolic dysfunctions including diabetes and metabolic syndrome. These beneficial outcomes were mimicked when a pharmacological pan-HIF-P4H inhibitor was administered to wild-type mice. In these studies we showed that pharmacological HIF-P4H-2 inhibition may provide a novel treatment for diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease and metabolic disorders." @default.
