Background & Aims: Hypoxic inflammation is characterized by decreased oxygen tension in inflammatory foci, and is a notable feature in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Hypoxic response is mediated by transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α, both of which are highly induced in IBD. HIF-1α is a protective factor that limits intestinal barrier dysfunction during inflammation. However, the role of HIF-2α has not been assessed in hypoxic inflammation and IBD. Methods: A hypoxia reporter mouse model was used to test the presence of hypoxia and HIF-2α in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and Citrobacter rodentium (C.rod)-induced colitis. The role of HIF-2α in these mouse models of colitis was further assessed in mice with an intestinal epithelium-specific gain- and loss-of-function of HIF-2α. Results: Induction of hypoxia and HIF-2α was confirmed in both murine experimental colitis models and human IBD samples. Disruption of HIF-2α attenuated colonic inflammation whereas stabilization of HIF-2α potentiated inflammation in mouse models of colitis. Interestingly, intestine specific overexpression of HIF-2α but not HIF-1α leads to spontaneous colitis and premature death in mice. Further mechanistic analysis showed that HIF-2α is a driver for pro-inflammatory response and is critical regulator of intestinal epithelial-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Blocking TNF-α completely ameliorated HIF-2α potentiated intestinal inflammation. Conclusions: These data demonstrate that HIF-2α is a critical transcription factor essential in intestinal epithelium elicited inflammatory response.

GeneChips were washed and stained in the Affymetrix Fluidics Station 450. All mice were C57BL/6 background and maintained in standard cages in a light and temperature-controlled room and were allowed standard chow and water ad libitum. Data was analyzed using the affy Bioconductor packages implemented in the R-statistical environment. RMA was used to normalize the data and fit log2 transformed expression values. GeneChips were scanned using the Affymetrix 3000 7G GeneChip Scanner with Autoloader. Colon mucosal scrapings were got from 6 to 8 weeks old mice treated with 3% DSS for 3 days Trizol extraction of total RNA was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Biotinylated aRNA were prepared according to the Ambion Premier kit protocol from 250 ng total RNA (MessageAmp Premier RNA Amplification Kit Instruction Manual, 2008, Ambion).
