Oxygen is critical for all metazoan organisms on the earth and impacts various biological processes in physiological and pathological conditions. While oxygen sensing systems inducing acute hypoxic response, including HIF pathway, have been identified, those operating in prolonged hypoxia remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that pyridoxine 5-phosphate oxidase (PNPO) that catalyzes bioactivation of vitamin B6 serves as an oxygen sensor and regulates lysosomal activity in macrophages. Decline of PNPO activity under prolonged hypoxia reduced an active form of vitamin B6, pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP), and inhibited lysosomal activity, leading to the augmentation of inflammatory response of macrophages. The PNPO-PLP axis creates a distinct layer of oxygen sensing, which gradually turns down and up the PLP-dependent metabolism according to prolonged changes in oxygen availability.
