Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is a pivotal viral oncoprotein that contributes to the carcinogenesis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated malignancies, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We investigated the regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1 alpha) by LMP1. In NPC cells, we found that LMP1 significantly enhanced the HIF-1 alpha mRNA level, and not only the protein amount as described previously. Mechanistically, the stability of the HIF-1 alpha transcript was remarkably prolonged by LMP1 via reduced expressions of RNA-destabilizing proteins tristetraprolin (TTP) and pumilio RNA-binding family member 2 (PUM2) through C-terminal activation region 1 (CTAR1) and CTAR3 interaction with the ERK1/2 and STAT3 signaling pathways, respectively, in parallel with hindrance of PUM2 binding to the HIF-1 alpha mRNA 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). On the other hand, HIF-1A promoter activity was also obviously facilitated by the LMP1 CTAR1-recruited ERK1/2/NF-kappa B pathway. Intriguingly, in this scenario, augmented HIF-1a further exhibited positive auto-regulation of its own gene transcription. Our results showed the first time that LMP1 directly up-regulates HIF-1A transcription and post-transcription in NPC cells, in addition to providing evidence of an increase in the HIF-1 alpha mRNA level caused by a tumor-associated virus under normoxic conditions.
