HIF-1α is positively associated with endometrial receptivity by regulating PKM2.
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research 2023 August 3
PURPOSE: Numerous advancements have been introduced into the field of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in the past four decades. Nonetheless, implantation failure is still a key limiting step for a successful pregnancy. Building of endometrial receptivity (ER) is essential for successful implantation. However, the fundamental biological processes and mechanisms of ER remain elusive. Our study investigates the function of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) during ER establishment and shed lights on the novel molecular mechanism by which HIF-1α regulates ER-related gene expression network.
METHODS: Levels of HIF-1α, homeobox A10 (HOXA10), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1), pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) in endometrial tissues were measured via real-time PCR, immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. The correlation between HIF-1α and HOXA10, IGFBP1, PKM2, LDHA were analyzed separately. Ishikawa cells were treated with vector HIF-1α, HIF-1α-siRNA, and PKM2-siRNA. After transfection, the levels of HOXA10, IGFBP1, LDHA, and PKM2 were measured via real-time PCR and immunoblotting, and the lactate concentrations and cell migration of Ishikawa cells were measured.
RESULTS: Levels of HIF-1α, IGFBP1, HOXA10, LDHA, and PKM2 were significantly decreased in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients and levels of HOXA10, IGFBP1, PKM2, and LDHA were correlated with HIF-1α in endometrium. Then in a cellular model established by HIF-1α vector and HIF-1α-siRNA, the expression of HOXA10, IGFBP1, LDHA, PKM2, and lactate concentrations were dramatically upregulated and downregulated. And the expression of HOXA10, and IGFBP1 were dramatically decreased by PKM2-siRNA.
CONCLUSIONS: HIF-1α plays a crucial role in the building of ER through regulating glycolysis.
