Tóm tắt

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme catabolism and presumably is involved in cellular iron homeostasis. It is induced by a variety of cellular stresses, including oxygen deprivation and free radical-mediated stress. We examined induction of HO-1 mRNA in skin fibroblasts and investigated the mechanism by which it occurs. Hypoxia did not appear to act via induction of oxygen free radicals: induction of HO-1 was not sensitive to the free radical scavenger GSH or other antioxidants. Moreover, hypoxia did not increase steady-state levels of free radicals generated by fibroblasts. In contrast, HO-1 induction by the oxidants, H2O2and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) was significantly attenuated in the presence of free radical scavengers. This correlated with increased levels of free radical production in fibroblasts treated with these oxidants. Iron depletion by desferrioxamine mesylate, a specific iron complexon, completely inhibited hypoxic stimulation of HO-1 but did not attenuate the effect of H2O2and CCCP on HO-1 mRNA. Addition of Fe2+, Fe3+, or holo-transferrin to fibroblasts increased levels of HO-1 mRNA. Treatment of cells with hypoxia, but not H2O2or an exogenous source of iron, significantly increased the half-life of HO-1 mRNA. The data suggest hypoxia regulates HO-1 gene expression by a specific posttranscriptional mechanism: stabilization of mRNA. Hypoxia has previously been shown to increase fibroblast collagen synthesis and is thought to play a role in pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Skin fibroblasts isolated from patients with SSc demonstrated significantly stronger induction of HO-1 by hypoxia than did fibroblasts from normal controls. We hypothesize that exposure of SSc fibroblasts to hypoxic conditions leads to in vivo selective proliferation of cells that adapt to hypoxia.
