Histone methylase MLL1 coordinates with HIF and regulate lncRNA HOTAIR expression under hypoxia.
Gene 2017 September 21
Hypoxia signaling plays a critical role in tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis cancer, and aging. Under hypoxia, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are stabilized and they coordinate the process of hypoxia-induced gene expression and cell signaling leading to increased tumor growth. Recent studies indicate that non-coding RNAs which are closely associated with cancer are abnormally expressed under hypoxia. Here, we have investigated the transcriptional regulation of a cancer associated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), HOTAIR, under hypoxic conditions. Our studies demonstrate that HOTAIR expression is upregulated under hypoxia in colon cancer and several other types of cancer cells. HOTAIR transcription is regulated by HIF1α which binds to the hypoxia response elements (HRE) present in the HOTAIR promoter under hypoxia. HIF1α knockdown results in decreased HOTAIR expression under hypoxia. Along with HIF1α, histone methylases MLL1 and histone acetylase p300 are enriched at the HOTAIR promoter under hypoxia. The levels of H3K4-trimethylation and histone acetylation are also enriched at the HOTAIR promoter. Furthermore, knockdown of MLL1 downregulated the hypoxia-induced HOTAIR expression, indicating key roles of MLL1 in hypoxia-induced HOTAIR expression. Overall, our studies demonstrate that histone methyl-transferase MLL1 coordinates with HIF1α and histone acetyltransferase p300 and regulate hypoxia-induced HOTAIR expression. The hypoxia-induced upregulation of HOTAIR expression may contribute to its roles in tumorigenesis.
