Hypoxia increases circulating ROS in patients with diabetes but not in control subjects without diabetes.

Healthy controls (A) and subjects with type 1 diabetes (B) were exposed to intermittent hypoxia for 1 hr. Peripheral blood was taken before (0h) and after (1h) hypoxia exposure. ROS levels were analyzed using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy with CPH spin probes (n = 10–13). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *, p < 0.05 analysed using unpaired two-sided Student’s t-test. This figure has one figure supplement. Source data are shown in Figure 1—source data 1.

Schematic demonstration of hypoxia exposure protocol in the clinical study.

The study participants were exposed to intermittent hypoxia for 1 hr, consisting of five hypoxic episodes (H, 13% O2, 6 min) that alternate with normoxic episodes (N, 20.9% O2, 6 min).

High glucose levels inhibit HIF-1 signaling and induce apoptosis, which can be rescued by PHD inhibitor DMOG.

(A) mIMCD-3 cells were cultured in normal (5.5 mM) or high (30 mM) glucose media in the presence of DMOG or vehicle for 24 hr, and were exposed to hypoxia (H) or normoxia (N) for 6 hr before harvest. The nuclear expression of HIF-1α and Histone H3 was measured using western blotting. (B–F) mIMCD-3 cells were exposed to 5.5 or 30 mM glucose levels in normoxia (N) or hypoxia (H) in the presence or absence of DMOG or vehicle for 24 hr. The relative HRE-driven luciferase activity (B and D, n = 6), apoptosis (C and E, n = 4), and the caspase 3/7 activity (F, n = 3–4) were assessed. (G) Caspase 3/7 activity was evaluated in mIMCD-3 cells that were pre-treated with 1 mM NAC or vehicle for 1 hr before exposure to 5.5 or 30 mM glucose levels in normoxia (N) or hypoxia (H) for 24 hr (n = 4). The data under control conditions were considered as 1.0. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ****, p < 0.0001 using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test (B–C, F–G), and unpaired two-sided Student t-test (D–E).

(B–D) mIMCD-3 cells were transfected with von Hippel–Lindau tumour suppressor (VHL) or control (Ctrl) siRNA, and exposed to hypoxia (H) and 30 mM glucose for 24 hr. VHL gene expression (B, n = 3), endogenous HIF-1α expression (red) and DAPI staining (blue) (C) and mitochondrial ROS levels (D, n = 5) were assessed using quantitative RT-PCR, fluorescent immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry, respectively.

Repression of HIF-1 contributes to increased mitochondrial ROS production in diabetes.

Under non-diabetic conditions (left panel), HIF-1 is induced by hypoxia and activates PDK1 expression which inhibits excess mitochondrial ROS production through inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. However, under diabetic conditions (right panel), HIF-1 is inhibited by high glucose levels through a PHD-dependent mechanism despite hypoxia. This results in decreased expression of PDK1, leading to increased mitochondrial respiration and excessive mitochondrial ROS production which causes tissue damage.
