| Popis: | All living organisms must respond to, and defend against, environmental stresses. Depending on the extent and severity of stress, cells try to alter their metabolism and adapt to a new state. Changes in alternative splicing of pre-mRNA are a crucial regulation mechanism through which cells are able to respond to a decrease in oxygen tension in the cellular environment. Currently, only limited data are available in the literature on how short-term hypoxia influences mRNA isoform formation. In this work, we discovered that expressions of the same genes that are activated during cellular stress are also activated in cells under short-term hypoxic conditions. Our results demonstrate that short-term hypoxia influences the splicing of genes associated with cell stress and apoptosis; however, the mRNA isoform formation patterns from the same pre-mRNAs in cells under short-term hypoxic conditions and prolonged hypoxia are different. Obtained data also show that short-term cellular hypoxia increases protein phosphatase but not protein kinase expression. Enhanced levels of protein phosphatase expression in cells are clearly important for changing mRNA isoform formation. |
