We have studied the effect of IRE1 signaling enzyme knockdown as well as hypoxia on the expression of genes encoding the important tumor growth related proteins (BRCA1, DEK, BCL2L1, COL6A1, TPD52, HOMER3, and GNPDA1) in U87 glioma cells. It was shown that the expression level of breast cancer 1 early onset (BRCA1) and tumor protein D52 (TPD52) mRNAs are strongly up-regulated in U87 glioma cells by down-regulation of IRE1 expression in comparison with the control cells. At the same time the expression level of collagen, type VI, alpha 1 (COL6A1), DEK oncogene (DEK), glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase 1 (GNPDA1) and homer homolog 3 (HOMER3) was significantly down-regulated in glioma cells under these experimental conditions. It was also shown that hypoxia up-regulated the expression level of COL6A1 and TPD52 mRNAs and down-regulated – BRCA1, DEK, and GNPDA1 mRNAs in control glioma cells and that down-regulation of IRE1, which control cell proliferation and tumor growth, modified the effect of hypoxia on the expression of COL6A1, DEK, BCL2L1, HOMER3, and GNPDA1 genes. The present study demonstrated that hypoxia affected the expression of most studied genes in IRE1-dependent manner.

The present paper gives a detailed analysis of scientific and practical activity of the Department of Molecular Biology of the Palladin Institute of Biochemistry of NAS of Ukraine in the context of the history of its development. The most important results of the research of molecular mechanisms of regulation of glycolysis and gene expression in malignant tumors upon hypoxia; identification of key transcription factors of the regulation of proliferation and the role of alternative splicing in the regulation of the activity of the different PFKFB isoforms are reported. In recent years, the efforts of the department’s staff have been focused on studying the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the regulation of metabolism and proliferation processes at the level of gene expression in genome reprogramming. The obtained results allow to establish the molecular bases of pathogenesis of various diseases and to develop new effective methods for their diagnosis, prevention and treatment.

We have studied the effect of hypoxia on the expression of genes encoding for LONP1/PRSS15 and cathepsins in U87 glioma cells in relation to inhibition of inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1). It was shown that hypoxia up-regulated the expression of CTSA, CTSB, CTSD, CTSF, CTSK, and LONP1 genes and down-regulated the expression of CTSC, CTSL, CTSO, and CTSS genes in control glioma cells (transfected by empty vector). Inhibition of ІRE1 signaling enzyme function in these glioma cells modified effect of hypoxia on the expression of most studied genes: eliminated the effect of hypoxia on CTSA, and LONP1 genes, introduced reverse changes on CTSD and CTSS genes, reduced – on CTSF and CTSK genes, and enhanced – on CTSB and CTSL genes. Therefore, hypoxia affected the expression level of most studied genes in relation to the functional activity of IRE1 enzyme, a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress, which control cell proliferation and tumor growth.

We have studied the effect of hypoxia on the expression level of mRNA of the basic enzymes of pentose-phosphate cycle (G6PD, TKT, TALDO1, PGLS and RPIA) and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) in U87 glioma cells in relation to inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme 1). It was shown that hypoxia leads to up-regulation of the expression of GPI and PGLS genes and to down-regulation of TALDO1 and RPIA genes in control glioma cells. Changes for GPI gene were more significant than for other genes. At the same time, inhibition of IRE1 modified the effect of hypoxia on the expression of all studied genes. In particular, it increased sensitivity to hypoxia of G6PD and TKT genes expression and suppressed the effect of hypoxia on the expression of GPI and RPIA genes. Additionally, inhibition of IRE1 eliminated hypoxic regulation of PGLS gene and did not change significantly effect of hypoxia on the expression of TALDO1 gene in glioma cells. Present study demonstrated that hypoxia, which often contributes to tumor growth, affects the expression of most studied genes and inhibition of IRE1 modified the hypoxic regulation of pentose-phosphate cycle gene expressions in a gene specific manner and thus possibly contributes to slower glioma growth, but several aspects of this regulation warrant further investigation.

We investigated the impact of IRE1/ERN1 (inositol requiring enzyme 1/endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1) knockdown on hypoxic regulation of the expression of a subset of proliferation and migration-related genes in U87 glioma cells. It was shown that hypoxia leads to up-regulation of the expression of MEST and SNAI2, to down-regulation – of MYBL1, TCF8 and GTF2F2 genes at the mRNA level in control glioma cells. At the same time hypoxia did not affect the expression of TCF3 and GTF2B transcription factor genes. In turn, inhibition of IRE1 modified the effect of hypoxia on the expression of all studied genes, except MYBL1 and GTF2B. For instance, IRE1 knockdown decreased sensitivity to hypoxia of the expression of MEST, TCF8 and SNAI2 genes and increased sensitivity to hypoxia of GTF2F2 expression. At the same time, IRE1 inhibition introduced sensitivity to hypoxia of the expression of TCF3 gene in glioma cells. The present study demonstrated that the inhibition of IRE1 in glioma cells affected the hypoxic regulation of the expression of studied genes in various directions, though hypoxic conditions did not abolish the effect of IRE1 inhibition on the expression of respective genes. To the contrary, in case of SNAI2, GTF2F2 and MEST hypoxic conditions magnified the effect of IRE1 inhibition on the expression of respective genes in glioma cells.

We studied the influence of hypoxic-hypercapnic environment under the effect of hypothermia (artificial hibernation) on fatty acids spectrum of inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) lipids of rat cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. Specific for cellular organelles redistribution of IMM fatty acids was determined. It led to the reduction of total amount of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and increase of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) in cardiomyocytes and to the increase of SFAs and decrease of UFAs in hepatocytes. The decrease in the content of oleic acid and increased content of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids in IMM were shown. This may be due to their role in the regulatory systems during hibernation, as well as following exit therefrom. It is assumed that artificial hibernation state is characterized by the stress reaction leading to optimal readjustment of fatty acids composition of membrane lipids, which supports functional activity of mitochondria in hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes.

We have studied the effect of hypoxia on the expression of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins in U87 glioma cells under the inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme-1), which controls cell proliferation and tumor growth as a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress. It was shown that hypoxia down-regulated gene expression of malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2), malic enzyme 2 (ME2), mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (GOT2), and subunit B of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHB) in control (transfected by empty vector) glioma cells in a gene specific manner. At the same time, the expression level of mitochondrial NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) and subunit D of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHD) genes in these cells does not significantly change in hypoxic conditions. It was also shown that the inhibition of ІRE1 signaling enzyme function in U87 glioma cells decreases the effect of hypoxia on the expression of ME2, GOT2, and SDHB genes and introduces the sensitivity of IDH2 gene to hypoxia. Furthermore, the expression of all studied genes depends on IRE1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling in gene specific manner, because ІRE1 knockdown significantly decreases their expression in normoxic conditions, except for IDH2 gene, which expression level is strongly up-regulated. Therefore, changes in the expression level of nuclear genes encoding ME2, MDH2, IDH2, SDHB, SDHD, and GOT2 proteins possibly reflect metabolic reprogramming of mitochondria by hypoxia and IRE1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling and correlate with suppression of glioma cell proliferation under inhibition of the IRE1 enzyme function.

We have studied hypoxic regulation of the expression of genes encoded GADD (growth arrest and DNA damage) family proteins in U87 glioma cells in relation to inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme-1), which controls cell proliferation and tumor growth as a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress. We have shown that hypoxia up-regulates the expression of GADD34, GADD45A, GADD45B, and GADD153 genes, which are related to cell proliferation and apoptosis, in control (transfected by empty vector) glioma cells in gene specific manner. At the same time, the expression level of EIF2AK1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 1) and AIFM1 (apoptosis inducing factor, mitochondria associated 1) genes in these cells is down-regulated upon hypoxic condition. It was also shown that inhibition of ІRE1 signaling enzyme function in U87 glioma cells enhances the effect of hypoxia on these genes expression, except EIF2AK1 and AIFM1 genes. Furthermore, the expression of all studied genes in ІRE1 knockdown cells is significantly decreased upon normoxic condition, except GADD45B gene, which expression level is strongly up-regulated. Therefore, the expression level of genes encoding GADD34, GADD45A, GADD45B, GADD153, EIF2AK1, and AIFM1 is affected by hypoxia and by inhibition of IRE1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling in gene specific manner and correlates with suppression of glioma cell proliferation upon inhibition of the IRE1 enzyme function.

We have studied the effect of inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme 1), which is a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress and a controller of cell proliferation and tumor growth, on hypoxic regulation of the expression of different proliferation related genes in U87 glioma cells. It was shown that hypoxia leads to up-regulation of the expression of IL13RA2, CD24, ING1, ING2, ENDOG, and POLG genes and to down-regulation – of KRT18, TRAPPC3, TSFM, and MTIF2 genes at the mRNA level in control glioma cells. Changes for ING1 and CD24 genes were more significant. At the same time, inhibition of IRE1 modifies the effect of hypoxia on the expression of all studied genes. In particular, it increases sensitivity to hypoxia of the expression of IL13RA2, TRAPPC3, ENDOG, and PLOG genes and suppresses the effect of hypoxia on the expression of ING1 gene. Additionally, it eliminates hypoxic regulation of KRT18, CD24, ING2, TSFM, and MTIF2 genes expressions and introduces sensitivity to hypoxia of the expression of BET1 gene in glioma cells. The present study demonstrates that hypoxia, which often contributes to tumor growth, affects the expression of almost all studied genes. Additionally, inhibition of IRE1 can both enhance and suppress the hypoxic regulation of these gene expressions in a gene specific manner and thus possibly contributes to slower glioma growth, but several aspects of this regulation must be further clarified.
