Bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) is expressed in human erythrocytes and responsible for the production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). However, the expression and role of BPGM in other cells have not been reported. In this work, we found that BPGM was significantly upregulated in astrocytes upon acute hypoxia, and the role of this phenomenon will be clarified in the following report.The mRNA and protein expression levels of BPGM and the content of 2,3-DPG with hypoxia treatment were determined in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, glycolysis was evaluated upon in hypoxic astrocytes with BPGM knockdown and in normoxic astrocytes with BPGM overexpression or 2,3-DPG treatment. To investigate the mechanism by which BPGM/2,3-DPG regulated glycolysis in hypoxic astrocytes, we detected the expression of HIF-1α, FIH-1 and TET2 with silencing or overexpression of BPGM and 2,3-DPG treatment.The expression of glycolytic genes and the capacity of lactate markedly increased with 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h 1 % OOur study revealed that the BPGM/2,3-DPG pathway presented a suppressive effect on glycolysis in hypoxic astrocytes by negatively regulating HIF-1α and TET2. |
