We have studied the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression of genes encoding for ubiquitin specific peptidases (USP) and ubiquitin activating enzyme E1-like protein/autophagy related 7 (GSA7/ATG7) in U87 glioma cells in relation to inhibition of inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1). It was shown that exposure of control glioma cells (transfected by empty vector) upon glutamine deprivation led to suppression of USP1 and ATG7 mRNA expression and up-regulated USP25 mRNA. At the same time, glutamine deprivation did not significantly change USP4, USP10, USP14, and USP22 gene expressions in these cells. Inhibition of ІRE1 signaling enzyme function in U87 glioma cells increased effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression of USP1 gene and introduced sensitivity of USP4 and USP14 genes to this condition. Therefore, glutamine deprivation affected the expression level of most studied genes in gene specific manner in relation to the functional activity of IRE1 enzyme, a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress, which controls cell proliferation and tumor growth.

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.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors and TNF apoptosis inducing ligands play an important role in the realization of TNF function and control tumor growth. The TNF-related pathways are controlled by endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling, which has a crucial role in the control of cell proliferation and tumor growth. Furthermore, the inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme-1), which is a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress sand mainly responsible for cell proliferation and apoptosis, leads to suppression of tumor growth through specific changes in the expression of genes encoding transcription factors, tumor suppressors, angiogenesis and apoptosis related proteins, including TNF superfamily receptors and TNF apoptosis inducing ligands. Therefore, changes in the expression level of TNF-related genes encoding TNF superfamily receptors and apoptosis inducing ligands possibly reflect metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells upon inhibition of IRE1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling and correlate with suppression of glioma cell proliferation.

We have studied gene expression of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in U87 glioma cells upon glutamine deprivation depending on the inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme-1), a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress. We have shown that exposure of control glioma cells upon glutamine deprivation leads to down-regulation of NOV/IGFBP9, WISP1 and WISP2 gene expressions and up-regulation of CYR61/IGFBP10 gene expression at the mRNA level. At the same time, the expression of IGFBP6 and IGFBP7 genes in control glioma cells was resistant to glutamine deprivation. It was also shown that the inhibition of IRE1 modifies the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression of all studied genes. Thus, the inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme enhances the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression of CYR61 and WISP1 genes and suppresses effect of the deprivation on WISP2 gene expression in glioma cells. Moreover, the inhibition of IRE1 introduces sensitivity of the expression of IGFBP6 and IGFBP7 genes to glutamine deprivation and removes this sensitivity to NOV gene. We have also demonstrated that the expression of all studied genes in glioma cells growing with glutamine is regulated by IRE1 signaling enzyme, because the inhibition of IRE1 significantly down-regulates IGFBP6 and NOV genes and up-regulates IGFBP7, CYR61, WISP1, and WISP2 genes as compared to control glioma cells. The present study demonstrates that glutamine deprivation condition affects most studied IGFBP and WISP gene expressions in relation to IRE1 signaling enzyme function and possibly contributes to slower glioma cell proliferation upon inhibition of IRE1.

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.

We have studied hypoxic regulation of the expression of different insulin-like growth factor binding protein genes in U87 glioma cells in relation to inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme-1), a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress, which controls cell proliferation and tumor growth. We have demonstrated that hypoxia leads to up-regulation of the expression of IGFBP6, IGFBP7, IGFBP10/CYR61, WISP1, and WISP2 genes and down-regulation – of IGFBP9/NOV gene at the mRNA level in control glioma cells, being more significant changes for IGFBP10/CYR61 and WISP2 genes. At the same time, inhibition of IRE1 modifies the effect of hypoxia on the expression of all studied genes: eliminates sensitivity to hypoxia the expression of IGFBP7 and IGFBP9/NOV genes, suppresses effect of hypoxia on IGFBP6, IGFBP10/CYR61, and WISP2 genes, and slightly enhances hypoxic regulation of WISP1 gene expression in glioma cells. We have also demonstrated that the expression of all studied genes in glioma cells is regulated by IRE1 signaling enzyme upon normoxic condition, because inhibition of IRE1 significantly up-regulates IGFBP7, IGFBP10/CYR61, WISP1, and WISP2 genes and down-regulates IGFBP6 and IGFBP9/NOV genes as compared to control glioma cells. The present study demonstrates that hypoxia, which contributes to tumor growth, affects all studied IGFBP and WISP gene expressions and that inhibition of IRE1 preferentially abolishes or suppresses the hypoxic regulation of these gene expressions and thus possibly contributes to slower glioma growth. Moreover, inhibition of IRE1, which correlates with suppression of cell proliferation and glioma growth, is down-regulated expression of pro-proliferative IGFBP genes, attesting to the fact that endoplasmic reticulum stress is a necessary component of malignant tumor growth.
