abstract = {Epidermis is one of the most rapidly proliferating tissues
in the body with high demands for adenosine triphosphate and
cellular building blocks. In this study, we show that to
meet these requirements, keratinocytes constitutively
express HIF-1α, even in the presence of oxygen levels
sufficient for HIF-1α hydroxylation. We previously reported
that mice with severe epidermal mitochondrial dysfunction
actually showed a hyperproliferative epidermis but rapidly
died of systemic lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia,
indicating excessive glycolysis. In this work, we
interrogated HIF-1α function in glycolysis by its epidermal
ablation combined with mitochondrial dysfunction, which
resulted in decreased proliferation but even earlier
lethality due to a severe barrier defect. Our data
demonstrate that HIF-1α is indispensable for maintaining a
high aerobic glycolytic flux necessary for supplying energy
but also for synthetizing cellular building blocks such as
lipids, which are both essential for proliferation as well
as barrier formation. HIF-1α is stabilized in keratinocytes
in the presence of oxygen by high levels of HIF-1α
transcripts, low levels of prolyl-4-hydroxylases (PHD2 and
PHD3), and a low cellular a-ketoglutarate/lactate ratio,
likely inhibiting prolyl-4-hydroxylase activity. Our data
suggest a key role for constitutive HIF-1α expression
allowing a Warburg-like metabolism in healthy, highly
proliferative keratinocytes, similar to that in tumor
cells.},
