    <p>(A–B) Specificity of shRNA used to KD PHD1/3. <i>Siah1a<sup>−/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs were infected with scrambled control or PHD1 shRNA and PHD3 shRNA alone or in combination, and treated with TM (1 µg/ml) for 6 h. The relative mRNA levels of PHD1 (A) and PHD3 (B) were determined by qPCR. The results are shown as the mean values ± S.E. of three independent experiments. Three independent shRNA were used to confirm the changes shown. (C) PHD1 and PHD3 cooperation is required and mediate the effect of Siah1a/2 on TM-induced CHOP transcription. <i>Siah1a<sup>−/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs were infected with different PHD1 shRNA or PHD3 shRNA, or their combination, or scrambled shRNA. Cells were treated with TM (1 µg/ml) and collected 6 h later. The relative transcription levels of CHOP were determined by qPCR. (D) PHD1 and PHD3 mediate the effect of Siah1a/2 on hypoxia-induced CHOP transcription. <i>Siah1a<sup>−/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs were infected with PHD1 shRNA and PHD3 shRNA alone or in combination, or control vector and exposed to 1% O<sub>2</sub> for 6 h. The relative mRNA level of CHOP was determined by qPCR. (E) PHD3 protein is induced in <i>Siah1a<sup>−/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> cells. WT and <i>Siah1a<sup>−/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs were exposed to 1% O<sub>2</sub> for 24 h prior to the analysis for the expression of HIF-1α, PHD3 and β-actin by Western blotting. The arrow points to the position of the endogenous PHD3 protein. (F) Annotated MS/MS spectra resulting in the identification of proline hydroxylation sites at P60 and P235. Identified fragment ions are shown, as are the detected sites of peptide backbone cleavage; <i>m</i>/<i>z</i>, mass to charge ratio. Note that site determining fragment ions resulted in localization of both sites of proline hydroxylation. (G) Mutations of the two identified proline hydroxylation sites at P235 and P60 to alanine stabilize ATF4 protein. 293T cells were transfected either with Flag-ATF4 or Flag-ATF4 presenting either a mutation at P60, P235, or both. After 24 h from transfection cells were treated overnight with vehicle, DMOG (0.5 mM; upper panel), or MG132 (5 µM; lower panel) followed by cell harvest and immunoblot analysis of ATF4 and β-actin. *** p<0.0005, ** p<0.005, * p<0.05 compared to ad shRNA scr. (A–D) in the same condition (student's t-test). The Western blot experiments were repeated three times and the qPCR results are shown as the mean values ± S.E. of three independent experiments.</p

    <p>(A) The mortality rate was calculated as the number of dead mice at 24 h after induction of MCAO in <i>Siah1a<sup>+/+</sup>::Siah2<sup>+/+</sup></i> and <i>Siah1a<sup>+/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> mice. HT = heterozygous genotype of the Siah1a animals. (B) Brain sections from <i>Siah1a<sup>+/+</sup>::Siah2<sup>+/+</sup></i> and <i>Siah1a<sup>+/−</sup>::Siah2<sup>−/−</sup></i> mice were stained with Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) at 24 h after direct MCAO. The infarct volumes of brain sections were calculated as described in the Methods section. Five representative sections from two different mice of each group are shown. (C) At 24 h after MCAO, the brain sections were subjected to fixation, sectioned and further stained with H&E and ApopTag (TUNEL). Magnified TUNEL signal (red) is shown in the insets. The adjacent sections (#1, #2, #5 and #6) were stained with TTC solution. The scale bars indicate 50 µm. (D) Tissue sections adjacent to the ischemic core areas were analyzed by immunohistochemistry using the indicated antibodies. The square inset in the cartoon marks the area from which images were taken. The ischemic core was localized below the yellow line.</p

    <p>(A,B) ER-stress induction of both Siah1 and Siah2 mRNA is attenuated in <i>Atf4<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs (A) and <i>Ire1α<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs (B).

(C) IRE1α is required for ER-induced Siah2 mRNA levels. Ectopic expression of sXBP1 restores TM-induction of Siah2 mRNA in <i>Ire1α<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs. <i>Ire1α<sup>−/−</sup></i> MEFs were infected either with adenovirus encoding either β-gal or sXBP1. After 24 h, RNA was prepared and quantified using qPCR for the relative levels of Siah2 mRNA.

WT and HIF1α KO MEFs were subjected to TM (2 µg/ml) or TG (1 µM) treatment and RNA prepared 6 h later was subjected to analysis of Siah1 or Siah2 transcripts. *** p<0.0005, ** p<0.005, * p<0.07 compared to Ire1 KO (C) or to WT under the same condition (student's t test).

    <p>(A) Various forms of stress increase Siah2 mRNA levels. MEFs were treated with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (50 µM), TM (1 µg/ml), TG (1 µM) or histidinol (2 µM) for 8 h and Siah2 mRNA was analyzed by qPCR. Relative expression shown represents Siah2 transcript level. (B–E) CHO cells were treated with doxycycline (100 ng/ml) (83) and cells were collected after 0, 6, 24, and 96 h. The relative mRNA level of Factor VII (B), CHOP (C), Siah1 (D) and Siah2 (E) were determined by qPCR. The results are shown as the means ± S.E. of three independent experiments.
