Abstract
We studied the regulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene expression by chronic hypoxia. G6PD mRNA level and activity were increased in PC12 cells by hypoxia in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Cobalt chloride and dimethyloxalylglycine, which can mimic hypoxia, also activated G6PD gene expression. Interestingly, hypoxia-induced G6PD expression followed a time course much slower than that of phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-dependent glycolytic enzyme. Hypoxic-G6PD induction was almost negligible in non-excitable Buffalo rat liver cells, although in these cells PGK1 was strongly upregulated by low PO(2). Furthermore, G6PD but not PGK1 induction was blocked by the antioxidants glutathione and N-acetylcysteine. These results suggest the dependence of G6PD gene expression on HIF and intracellular redox status and the differential hypoxic regulation of glucose-metabolizing enzymes.Keywords
