INTRODUCTION: HIF-1α, the master regulator of hypoxia cellular response, is stabilized under low oxygen levels and degraded in the presence of oxygen but its transcription, translation, and degradation are tightly regulated by numerous pathways. KLF6 is a transcription factor involved in proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in several cell systems. Under hypoxia it is upregulated in a HIF-1α-dependent manner in extravillous trophoblasts. Considering the importance of hypoxia modulation of EVT behavior through HIF1-α we aimed to study whether KLF6 modulates HIF-1α expression in HTR8/SVneo cells.
METHODS: HTR8/SVneo cells were cultured in a 1 % oxygen chamber or in 3D format where a spontaneous oxygen gradient is generated. qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to analyze mRNA and protein expression, respectively. SiRNA, shRNA, or plasmids were used to down- or up-regulate gene expression. Wound healing assay was performed under hypoxia to evaluate migration. The NFκB pathway was modulated with dominant negative mutants and a chemical inhibitor. Cobalt chloride was used to block HIF-1α degradation.
RESULTS: KLF6 up- and down-regulation in HTR8/SVneo cells exposed to acute hypoxia revealed a negative regulation on HIF-1α. KLF6 silencing led to a partially HIF-1α-dependent increase in MMP9 and VEGF. The NF-κB pathway and HIF-1α degradation were involved in KLF6-dependent HIF-1α regulation. HTR8/SVneo-3D culture showed that KLF6 negatively regulates HIF-1α in a microenvironment with naturally generated hypoxia.
DISCUSSION: Present results reveal that KLF6 contributes to a fine tune modulation of HIF-1α level under hypoxia. Thus, sustaining a HIF-1α homeostatic level, KLF6 might contribute to control EVT adaptation to hypoxia.
