  1. Abstract:

    DEC1/STRA13 is a bHLH type transcriptional regulator involved with immune regulation, hypoxia response and carcinogenesis. We recently demonstrated that STRA13 interacts with STAT3 in the transcriptional activation of STAT-dependent promoters. Here, we pursue STRA13 involvement in the JAK/STAT pathway by studying its role in STAT1 expression. First, we showed that VHL deficiency or HIF-1 activation resulted in the repression of endogenous STAT1 mediated by STRA13. We then characterized the STAT1 proximal promoter to assess its response to STRA13 by transient coexpression in a luciferase reporter assay. Using sequential truncation and site-directed mutagenesis of the STAT1 promoter with STRA13 deletion constructs, we showed that the STRA13 C-terminal trans-activation domain, which is known to bind HDAC1, mostly determines the repressive activity. Involvement of HDAC activity in STAT1 regulation was validated by TSA inhibition and chromatin immuno-precipitation (ChIP) assay. Thus, we demonstrate that STRA13-mediated repression of STAT1 transcription utilizes an HDAC1-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, we show that targets of unphosphorylated STAT1, such as antigen presenting genes and CASP1, are also repressed by hypoxia possibly through the same STRA13-mediated mechanism. Thus, the newly discovered link between HIF-1 and STAT1 reveals a previously unknown role of STRA13 in hypoxia and carcinogenesis.
