Cellular hypoxia response



Hypoxia is the cause of cell death in many
pathologies, mechanism not known
All cells have intrinsic defenses
Hypoxia tolerant organisms have highly
orchestrated metabolic regulation
Drosophila as a model for hypoxia research




Flies are hypoxia tolerant
Simple system, genetic tools and libraries
Genetic screen found gene required for tolerance 1
Hypoxia tolerance gene was successfully transferred to
mammalian cells 2

General hypothesis for hypoxia
tolerance
Flexible metabolic regulation is the major source
of hypoxia tolerance
Immediate (minutes)
 Global (ATP production, biosynthesis, protein
translation)

Our systems approach to modeling ATPgenerating metabolism:
Metabolomics to find all anaerobic pathways
 Flux-balance analysis to simulate pathways under
varying oxygen
 Generate novel, specific, testable hypotheses for
hypoxia tolerance

Global metabolic profile
• Concentrations measured by targeted profiling (Chenomx): peak identification, alignment, subtraction
• Lower confidence group due to spectra overlap
