Endothelial cells (EC) exposed to hypoxia upregulate a unique set of five stress proteins. These proteins are upregulated in human and bovine aortic and pulmonary artery EC and are distinct from heat shock or glucose-regulated proteins. We previously identified two of these proteins as the glycolytic enzymes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and enolase and postulated that the remaining proteins were also glycolytic enzymes. Using SDS-PAGE, tryptic digestion, and NH2-terminal amino acid sequencing, we report here the identification of the 56-kDa protein as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). PDI is upregulated by hypoxia at the mRNA level and follows a time course similar to that of the protein, with maximal upregulation detected after exposure to 18 h of 0% O2. Neither smooth muscle cells nor fibroblasts upregulate PDI to the same extent as EC, which correlates with their decreased hypoxia tolerance. Upregulation of PDI specifically in EC may contribute to their ability to tolerate hypoxia and may occur through PDI's functions as a prolyl hydroxylase subunit, protein folding catalyst, or molecular chaperone.
