LID - 10.3390/cells11233878 [doi] LID - 3878 AB - Knowledge about normoxic hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha stabilization is limited. We investigated normoxic HIF-1alpha stabilization and its consequences using live cell imaging, immunoblotting, Bio-Plex multiplex immunoassay, immunofluorescence staining, and barrier integrity assays. We demonstrate for the first time that IL-8 and M-CSF caused HIF-1alpha stabilization and translocation into the nucleus under normoxic conditions in both human coronary endothelial cells (HCAECs) and HIF-1alpha-mKate2-expressing HEK-293 cells. In line with the current literature, our data show significant normoxic HIF-1alpha stabilization caused by TNF-alpha, INF-gamma, IL-1beta, and IGF-I in both cell lines, as well. Treatment with a cocktail consisting of TNF-alpha, INF-gamma, and IL-1beta caused significantly stronger HIF-1alpha stabilization in comparison to single treatments. Interestingly, this cumulative effect was not observed during simultaneous treatment with IL-8, M-CSF, and IGF-I. Furthermore, we identified two different kinetics of HIF-1alpha stabilization under normoxic conditions. Our data demonstrate elevated protein levels of HIF-1alpha-related genes known to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Moreover, we demonstrate an endothelial barrier dysfunction in HCAECs upon our treatments and during normoxic HIF-1alpha stabilization comparable to that under hypoxia. This study expands the knowledge of normoxic HIF-1alpha stabilization and activation and its consequences on the endothelial secretome and barrier function. Our data imply an active role of HIF-1alpha in vivo in the vasculature in the absence of hypoxia.
