However, specific proteins needed to respond to hypoxia evade this translational repression. The mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unclear. We screened for and identified small molecules that selectively decrease HIF-2a translation in an mTOR independent manner, by enhancing the binding of Iron Regulatory Protein 1 (IRP1) to a recently reported Iron-Responsive Element (IRE) within the 5’-untranslated region (UTR) of the HIF-2a message. Knocking down the expression of IRP1 by shRNA abolished the effect of the compounds. Hypoxia de-represses HIF-2a translation by disrupting the IRP1- HIF-2a IRE interaction. Thus, this chemical genetic analysis describes a molecular mechanism by which translation of the HIF-2a message is maintained during conditions of cellular hypoxia through inhibition of IRP-1 dependent repression. It also provides the chemical tools for studying this phenomenon. Experiment Overall Design: 3 replicate samples of 786-O human Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma cells untreated, mock treated with DMSO or treated with either of 4 HIF-2a inhibitor compounds identified by chemical genetic screening.http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-13818http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-13818/samples/
