Two human neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines, SH-SY5Y and Kelly, were
found to express the gene for erythropoietin (EPO) in an oxygen
(O2)-dependent manner. However, NB cells had maximal
production of EPO with lower partial pressure of O2 values
than the well-characterized hepatoma cell line HepG2. This maximal EPO
expression was preceded by accumulation of the O2-sensitive
subunit of the heterodimeric transcription-factor complex
hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). Western blot analysis revealed that
the amount of the subunit of HIF-1, identical to aryl hydrocarbon
receptor nuclear translocator 1 (ARNT1), and the homolog ARNT2
increased in nuclear extracts from SH-SY5Y cells exposed to anoxia. In
neuronal cells, ARNT1 and ARNT2 can form a heterodimer with HIF-1 ,
generating a functional HIF-1 complex. Using the hypoxia response
element of the human EPO enhancer, we conducted electrophoretic
mobility shift assays that showed accumulation and binding of HIF-1
complexes containing both ARNT1 and ARNT2 in NB cells. In addition to
the HIF-1 complex, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4 ) was found
to be indispensable for hypoxia-induced EPO gene expression in hepatoma
cells. Western blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction assessment
showed that NB cells express neither HNF4 nor the splicing variant
HNF4 7 and thus express EPO in an HNF4 -independent manner.
Together, SH-SY5Y and Kelly cells may provide a new in vitro model for
studying the mechanism of tissue-specific, hypoxia-inducible EPO gene expression.
