Hyperglycemia increases the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), triggers oxidative impairments and influences inducible factor (HIF)-1 alpha protein levels and transactivation function. Compromised HIF-1 alpha in testis leads to male infertility. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of HIF-1 alpha in oxidative stress induced by AGES in murine Leydig TM3 cells. TM3 cells were treated with 50 mu g/ml of AGEs, or HIF-1 alpha siRNA or 500 mu M of DMOG (dimethyloxalylglycine) respectively. The cells were also pretreated with HIF-1 alpha siRNA or 500 mu M of DMOG and then were treated with 50 mu g/ml of AGEs. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell apoptosis was evaluated. The expression of caspase-3, Heme oxygenase (HO)-1, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and cytochrome P450 17 alpha polypeptide 1 (CYP17A1) was examined by Western blotting. AGEs increased ROS production, induced apoptosis and activated HIF-1 alpha and HO-1 in TM3 cells. HIF-1 alpha attenuated the AGE-induced ROS formation and promoted apoptosis via the upregulation of caspase-3. Knockdown of HIF-1 alpha inhibited the expression of CYP17A1 and StAR, and enhanced the inhibition of StAR and CYP17A1 by AGEs. These findings indicate that attenuated HIF-1 alpha exacerbates the oxidative stress injury by AGEs in murine Leydig cells, and contributes to diabetic male infertility. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
