lüll Prolyl 4-hydroxylase activity-responsive transcription factors: from hydroxylation to gene expression and neuroprotection Siddiq A; Aminova LR; Ratan RRFront Biosci 2008[Jan]; 13 (ä): 2875-87Most homeostatic processes including gene transcription occur as a result of deviations in physiological tone that threatens the survival of the organism. A prototypical homeostatic stress response includes changes in gene expression following alterations in oxygen, iron or 2-oxoglutarate levels. Each of these cofactors plays an important role in cellular metabolism. Accordingly, a family of enzymes known as the Prolyl 4-hydroxylase (PHD) enzymes are a group of dioxygenases that have evolved to sense changes in 2-oxoglutarate, oxygen and iron via changes in enzyme activity. Indeed, PHDs are a part of an established oxygen sensor system that regulates transcriptional regulation of hypoxia/stress-regulated genes and thus are an important component of events leading to cellular rescue from oxygen, iron or 2-oxoglutarate deprivations. The ability of PHD activity to regulate homeostatic responses to oxygen, iron or 2-oxoglutarate metabolism has led to the development of small molecule inhibitors of the PHDs as a strategy for activating or augmenting cellular stress responses. These small molecules are proving effective in preclinical models of stroke and Parkinson's disease. However the precise protective pathways engaged by PHD inhibition are only beginning to be defined. In the current review, we summarize the role of iron, 2-oxoglutarate and oxygen in the PHD catalyzed hydroxylation reaction and provide a brief discussion of some of the transcription factors that play an effective role in neuroprotection against oxidative stress as a result of changes in PHD activity.|*Gene Expression Profiling[MESH]|*Gene Expression Regulation[MESH]|*Transcription Factors[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Cyclic AMP Response Element-Binding Protein/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hydroxylation[MESH]|Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1/metabolism[MESH]|Iron/*chemistry[MESH]|Ketoglutaric Acids/*metabolism[MESH]|Neuroprotective Agents/*pharmacology[MESH]|Oxygen/*metabolism[MESH]|Procollagen-Proline Dioxygenase/*metabolism[MESH]|Protein Binding[MESH]|Transcription Factor AP-1/metabolism[MESH] |
