The present study hypothesized that superoxide (O<UP><SUB>2</SUB><SUP>−</SUP></UP>·) importantly contributes to the regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha expression at posttranscriptional levels in renal medullary interstitial cells (RMICs) of rats. By Western blot analysis, it was found that incubation of RMICs with O<UP><SUB>2</SUB><SUP>−</SUP></UP>· generators xanthine/xanthine oxidase and menadione significantly inhibited the hypoxia- or CoCl2-induced increase in HIF-1alpha levels and completely blocked the increase in HIF-1alpha levels induced by ubiquitin-proteasome inhibition with CBZ-LLL in the nuclear extracts from these cells. Under normoxic conditions, a cell-permeable O<UP><SUB>2</SUB><SUP>−</SUP></UP>· dismutase (SOD) mimetic, 4-hydroxyl-tetramethylpiperidin-oxyl (TEMPOL) and PEG-SOD, significantly increased HIF-1alpha levels in RMICs. Two mechanistically different inhibitors of NAD(P)H oxidase, diphenyleneiodonium and apocynin, were also found to increase HIF-1alpha levels in these renal cells. Moreover, introduction of an anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotide specific to NAD(P)H oxidase subunit, p22phox, into RMICs markedly increased HIF-1alpha levels. In contrast, the OH· scavenger tetramethylthiourea had no effect on the accumulation of HIF-1alpha in these renal cells. By Northern blot analysis, scavenging or dismutation of O<UP><SUB>2</SUB><SUP>−</SUP></UP>· by TEMPOL and PEG-SOD was found to increase the mRNA levels of an HIF-1alpha -targeted gene, heme oxygenase-1. These results indicate that increased intracellular O<UP><SUB>2</SUB><SUP>−</SUP></UP>· levels induce HIF-1alpha degradation independently of H2O2 and OH· radicals in RMICs. NAD(P)H oxidase activity may importantly contribute to this posttranscriptional regulation of HIF-1alpha in these cells under physiological conditions.
