Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that transactivates genes encoding proteins that participate in homeostatic responses to hypoxia. Several of these downstream gene products, such as erythropoietin, vascular endothelial growth factor, heme oxygenase-1, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, may contribute to the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. Previous studies demonstrated increased HIF-1 mRNA levels in rats and mice subjected to hypoxia. In this study, we have demonstrated spatial, temporal, and O2-dependent expression of HIF-1 protein. Immunoblot analysis revealed hypoxic induction of HIF-1 in all cultured pulmonary cell types assayed, including those derived from pulmonary arterial endothelium and smooth muscle, bronchial epithelium, alveolar macrophages, alveolar epithelium, and microvascular endothelium. In contrast to all other cell types, pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells expressed HIF-1 under nonhypoxic conditions. Immunohistochemistry and immunoblot analysis of ferret lungs demonstrated pulmonary expression of HIF-1 in vivo. HIF-1 protein expression was induced maximally when lungs were ventilated with 0 or 1% O2 for 4 h. On reoxygenation, HIF-1 was rapidly degraded, with a half-life of <1 min. These findings demonstrate that HIF-1 expression is tightly coupled to O2 concentration in vivo and are consistent with the involvement of HIF-1 in the physiological and pathophysiological responses to hypoxia in the lung.
