High blood glucose can induce oxidative damage and result in diabetic cataract. Oxidative stress induces various signal pathways including HIF-1 alpha transcriptional signal to attenuate the damage of lenses. Whether HIF-1 alpha SUMOylation can increase the activation of HIF-1 alpha or if high glucose can affect the SUMOylation of HIF-1 alpha in cultured human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) is still unknown, as well as the function of HIF-1 alpha SUMOylation in oxidative damage induced by high glucose in HLECs. In the present study, we examined SUMO and SUMO E3 (Cbx4 and PIASy) expression induced by high glucose, and investigated SUMO or SUMO E3 overexpression that enhanced HIF-1 alpha SUMOylation in HLECs.SRA01/04 cells, one kind of human lens epithelial cell line, were addressed in media with 5.5 mmol/l (normal control group), 25 mmol/l (high glucose1 group) and 50 mmol/l (high glucose2 group) final glucose respectively. Expression of SUMO1 similar to 4, Cbx4, PIASy, HIF-1 alpha, GLUT1, and VEGFA were detected in the mRNA and protein levels by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Protein expression localization and co-localization were examined by immunofluorescence and co-immunofluorescence. The effects of SUMO overexpression, SUMO E3 overexpression, and Proteasome inhibitor MG132 respectively on the stability and transcriptional activity of HIF-1 alpha were analyzed by immunoblot.High glucose treatment induced SUMO1-4 expression and enhanced the expression of Cbx4 and PIASy. It also increased the expression of HIF-1 alpha, GLUT1, and VEGFA. The co-localization of HIF-1 alpha and SUMO was mainly in the nucleus induced by high glucose. Further studies showed that SUMO overexpression or SUMO E3 overexpression could enhance HIF-1 alpha stability and transcriptional activity in HLECs. Proteasome inhibitor MG132 protected the stability and transcriptional activity of HIF-1 alpha in the SRA01/04 cells.HIF-1 alpha SUMOylation affected the stability and transcriptional activity of HIF-1 alpha in cultured human lens epithelial cells; SUMO overexpression or SUMO E3 overexpression enhanced the expression of HIF-1 alpha, which is involved in inhibiting cell apoptosis and protecting lens opacification, and presumably plays a key role in protecting lenses from diabetic cataract.
