Cytotoxic anti-cancer agents induce apoptosis in tumor and normal tissues. Therefore, it is important to investigate which
factors determine these apoptotic processes and hence their likely impact on therapeutic gain. Radiation-induced apoptosis
in tumors may be inhibited due to mutations of apoptotic elements or to tumor microenvironmental conditions arising from vascular
insufficiency. Tumors typically contain regions of hypoxia, low glucose and acidosis. Hypoxic cells compromise treatment partly
because of reduced fixation of damage during radiotherapy and partly because they promote a more malignant phenotype. There
is also evidence that hypoxia may inhibit apoptosis. For some cell types, concurrent hypoxia may modulate radiation-induced
apoptosis while, for others, post-irradiation hypoxia may be required. This may reflect the activity of different apoptotic
pathways. Pathways involving mitochondrial components as well as regulation of SAPK and Fas have been implicated. In addition,
several key stages in apoptosis are sensitive to depletion of cellular energy reserves, which results from hypoxia and low
glucose conditions. There is also evidence that low pH in tumors can interfere with radiation-induced apoptosis, partly through
cell cycle arrest and other undefined mechanisms. Conclusions: Hypoxia, low glucose and acidosis influence radiation-induced apoptosis and thus may be detrimental to radiotherapy. 相似文献

Hypoxic tumors are resistant to conventional therapies through indirect mechanisms such as the selection of resistant phenotype under chronic hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been shown to increase oxygen level and induce apoptosis in hypoxic tumor. However, it could produce significant adverse effects including oxygen toxic seizures and severe radiation tissue injury due to high pressure. We have shown that repeated oxygenation at 30% O2 (1 atmospheres absolute) results in significant regression of MCF-7 tumor xenografts without any adverse effect. In MCF-7 cells, re-oxygenation showed an eightfold increase in cellular apoptosis. Both in hypoxic tumor and in hypoxic cells, that exclusively favor p53 to exist in mutant conformation, re-oxygenation restores p53 wild-type conformation. The oxygen-mediated rescue of mutant p53 followed by its trans-activation is responsible for the induction of p53-downstream apoptotic, cell-cycle arrest and DNA-repair genes. Further, p53 trans-activation may thus be due to its post-translational modifications as a result of re-oxygenation. We have thus concluded that oxygen therapy without pressure, as opposed to HBO therapy, may be ideal for hypoxic tumor regression, which functions through oxygen-mediated rescue of mutant p53 followed by induction of apoptosis. 相似文献

Hypoxia inhibition of apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Hypoxia is a common environmental stress. Particularly, the center of rapidly growing solid tumors is easily exposed to hypoxic conditions. Thus, tumor cell response to hypoxia plays an important role in tumor progression as well as tumor therapy. However, little is known about hypoxic effect on apoptotic cell death. To examine the effects of hypoxia on TRAIL-induced apoptosis, human lung carcinoma A549 cells were exposed to hypoxia and treated with TRAIL protein. Hypoxia significantly protected A549 cells from apoptosis induced by TRAIL. Western blotting analysis demonstrated that hypoxia increased expression of antiapoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and IAP family members. The increase of these antiapoptotic molecules is believed to play an hypoxia-mediated protective role in TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Our findings suggest that an increase of antiapoptotic proteins induced by hypoxia may regulate the therapeutic activity of TRAIL protein in cancer therapy. 相似文献

Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors and an important contributor to tumor radioresistance. miR-210 is the most consistently and robustly induced microRNA under hypoxia in different types of tumor cells and normal cells. In the present study, to explore the feasibility of miR-210 as an effective therapeutic target, lentiviral-mediated anti-sense miR-210 gene transfer technique was employed to downregulate miR-210 expression in hypoxic human hepatoma SMMC-7721, HepG2 and HuH7 cells, and phenotypic changes of which were analyzed. Hypoxia led to an increased hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and miR-210 expression and cell arrest in the G(0)/G(1) phase in all cell lines. miR-210 downregulation significantly suppressed cell viability, induced cell arrest in the G(0)/G(1) phase, increased apoptotic rate and enhanced radiosensitivity in hypoxic human hepatoma cells. Moreover, apoptosis-inducing factor, mitochondrion-associated, 3 (AIFM3) was identified as a direct target gene of miR-210. AIFM3 downregulation by siRNA attenuated radiation induced apoptosis in miR-210 downregulated hypoxic human hepatoma cells. Taken together, these data suggest that miR-210 might be a potential therapeutic target and specific inhibition of miR-210 expression in combination with radiotherapy might be expected to exert strong anti-tumor effect on hypoxic human hepatoma cells. 相似文献

Disturbances of blood flow upon vascular occlusions and spasms result in hypoxia and acidosis, while its subsequent restoration leads to reoxygenation and pH normalization (re-alkalization) in ischemic sites of the vascular bed. The effect of hypoxia/reoxygenation on activation and stimulation of apoptosis in cultured human endothelial cells was studied. The cells were subjected to hypoxia (2% O2, 5% CO2, 93% N2) for 24 h followed by reoxygenation (21% O2, 5% CO2, 74% N2) for 5 h. Reoxygenation was carried out at different pH-6.4 (preservation of acidosis after hypoxia), 7.0, and 7.4 (partial and complete re-alkalization, respectively). Hypoxia only slightly (by ~30%) increased the cell adhesion molecule ICAM-1 content on the cell surface, whereas reoxygenation more than doubled its expression. The reoxygenation effect depended on the medium acidity, and ICAM-1 increase was more pronounced at pH 7.0 compared to that at pH 6.4 and 7.4. Neither hypoxia nor reoxygenation induced expression of two other cell adhesion molecules, VCAM and E-selectin. Incubation of cells under hypoxic conditions but not reoxygenation stimulated secretion of von Willebrand factor and increased its concentration in the culture medium by more than 4 times. The percentage of cells containing apoptosis marker, activated caspase-3, was increased by approximately 1.5 times upon hypoxia as well as hypoxia/reoxygenation. Maximal values were achieved when reoxygenation was performed at pH 7.0. These data show that hypoxia/reoxygenation stimulate pro-inflammatory activation (ICAM-1 expression) and apoptosis (caspase-3 activation) of endothelial cells, and the extracellular pH influences both processes. 相似文献

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) tumors often contain a wild-type p53. However, the function of this tumor suppressor in KS tumor cells is inhibited by both MDM2 and latent nuclear antigen (LANA) of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV). Here, we report that MDM2 antagonist Nutlin-3 efficiently reactivates p53 in telomerase-immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells (TIVE) that had been malignantly transformed by KSHV as well as in KS tumor cells. Reactivation of p53 results in a G1 cell cycle arrest, leading to inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis. Nutlin-3 inhibits the growth of “KS-like” tumors resulting from xenografted TIVE-KSHV cells in nude mice. In addition, Nutlin-3 strongly inhibits expression of the pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokine angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). It also disrupts viral latency by inducing expression of KSHV lytic genes. these results suggest that Nutlin-3 might serve as a novel therapy for KS.Key words: Kaposi sarcoma (KS), nutlin-3, p53, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, angiopoietin-2 相似文献

In glial C6 cells constitutively expressing wild-type p53, synthesis of the calcium-binding protein S100B is associated with cell density-dependent inhibition of growth and apoptosis in response to UV irradiation. A functional interaction between S100B and p53 was first demonstrated in p53-negative mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF cells) by sequential transfection with the S100B and the temperature-sensitive p53Val135 genes. We show that in MEF cells expressing a low level of p53Val135, S100B cooperates with p53Val135 in triggering calcium-dependent cell growth arrest and cell death in response to UV irradiation at the nonpermissive temperature (37.5°C). Calcium-dependent growth arrest of MEF cells expressing S100B correlates with specific nuclear accumulation of the wild-type p53Val135 conformational species. S100B modulation of wild-type p53Val135 nuclear translocation and functions was confirmed with the rat embryo fibroblast (REF) cell line clone 6, which is transformed by oncogenic Ha-ras and overexpression of p53Val135. Ectopic expression of S100B in clone 6 cells restores contact inhibition of growth at 37.5°C, which also correlates with nuclear accumulation of the wild-type p53Val135 conformational species. Moreover, a calcium ionophore mediates a reversible G1 arrest in S100B-expressing REF (S100B-REF) cells at 37.5°C that is phenotypically indistinguishable from p53-mediated G1 arrest at the permissive temperature (32°C). S100B-REF cells proceeding from G1 underwent apoptosis in response to UV irradiation. Our data support a model in which calcium signaling and S100B cooperate with the p53 pathways of cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. 相似文献

We have studied hypoxia-induced inactivation of cells from three established human cell lines with different p53 status. Hypoxia was found to induce apoptosis in cells expressing wild-type p53 (MCF-7 cells), but not in cells where p53 is either mutated (T-47D cells), or abrogated by expression of the HPV18 E6 oncoprotein (NHIK 3025 cells). Apoptosis was demonstrated by DNA fragmentation, using agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA and DNA nick end labeling (TUNEL). We demonstrate that extremely hypoxic conditions (<4 ppm O2) do not cause any change of expression in the p53 protein level in these three cell lines. In addition, the localization of p53 in MCF-7 cells was found exclusively in the nucleus in only some of the cells both under aerobic and hypoxic conditions. Furthermore, no correlation was found between the p53-expression level and whether or not a cell underwent apoptosis. Flow cytometric TUNEL analysis of MCF-7 cells revealed that initiation of apoptosis occurred in all phases of the cell cycle, although predominantly for cells in S phase. Apoptosis was observed only during a limited time window (i.e., ≈10 to ≈24 h) after the onset of extreme hypoxia. While 66% of the MCF-7 cells lost their ability to form visible colonies following 15 h exposure to extreme hypoxia, only ∼28% were induced to apoptosis, suggesting that ∼38% were inactivated by other death processes. Commitment to apoptotic cell death was observed in MCF-7 cells even for oxygen concentrations as high as 5000 ppm. Our present results indicate that the p53 status in these three tumor cell lines does not have any major influence on cell's survival following exposure to extremely hypoxic conditions, whereas following moderate hypoxia, cells expressing functional p53 enhanced their susceptibility to cell death. Taken together, although these results suggest that functional p53 might play a role in the induction of apoptosis during hypoxia, other factors seem to be equally important. 相似文献

To investigate the mechanism by which nitric oxide (NO) induces cell death in colon cancer cells, we compared two types of colon cancer cells with different p53 status: HCT116 (p53 wild-type) cells and SW620 (p53-deficient) cells. We found that S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), the NO donor, induced apoptosis in both types of colon cancer cells. However, SW620 cells were much more susceptible than HCT116 cells to apoptotic death by NO. We investigated the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 kinase on NO-induced apoptosis in both types of colon cancer cells. GSNO treatment effectively stimulated activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 kinase in both types of cells. In HCT116 cells, pretreatment with PD98059, an inhibitor of ERK1/2, or SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 kinase, had no marked effect on GSNO-induced apoptosis. However, in SW620 cells, SB203580 significantly reduced the NO-induced apoptosis, whereas PD098059 increases NO-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we found evidence of cell cycle arrest of the G0/G1 phase in SW620 cells but not in HCT116 cells. Inhibition of ERK1/2 with PD098059, or of p38 kinase with SB203580, reduced the GSNO-induced cell cycle arrest of the G0/G1 phase in SW620 cells. We therefore conclude that NO-induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells is mediated by a p53-independent mechanism and that the pathways of ERK1/2 and p38 kinase are important in NO-induced apoptosis and in the cell cycle arrest of the G0/G1 phase. 相似文献

Background: To evaluate the influence of hypoxia and molecular events in endothelial and embryonic stem cells.Materials and Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and mouse embryoid body (EB) cells were subjected to hypoxic conditions for different time courses. DNA fragmentation assay, quantification of apoptotic cells by TUNEL assay measured by flowcytometry, and Western blot analysis for the molecular events of apoptosis were performed.Results: DNA fragmentation could be identified under hypoxic conditions in HUVECs and mouse EBs. The DNA fragmentation increased when the hypoxic interval was extended.In situ internucleosomal DNA fragmentation-TUNEL assay also found that the percentages of apoptotic cells increased gradually in HUVECs and mouse EBs when the hypoxic interval was extended. Furthermore, the levels of expression of p53 and Bax both increased in hypoxic conditions.Conclusions: Hypoxia increases both HUVEC and mouse EB apoptosis, which is associated with increase in p53/Bax expression. 相似文献

The topoisomerase IIα inhibitor etoposide is a ‘broad spectrum’ anticancer agent and a potent inducer of DNA double strand
breaks. DNA damage response of mammalian cells usually involves cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or, if unsuccessful, cell
death. We investigated these processes in the human colon cancer cell line HT-29 treated with three different etoposide regimens
mimicking clinically relevant plasma concentrations of cancer patients. Each involved a period of drug-free incubation following
etoposide exposure to imitate the decline of plasma levels between the cycles of chemotherapy. We found a massive induction
of double strand breaks that were rapidly and nearly completely fixed long before the majority of cells underwent apoptosis
or necrosis. An even greater percentage of cells lost clonogenicity. The occurrence of double strand breaks was accompanied
by a decrease in the levels of Ku70, Ku86 and DNA-PKcs as well as an increase in the level of Rad51 protein. Twenty-four hours after the first contact with etoposide we found a
pronounced G2/M arrest, regardless of the duration of drug exposure, the level of double strand breaks and the extent of their repair.
During the subsequent drug-free incubation period, the loss of clonogenicity correlated well with the preceding G2/M arrest as well as with the amount of cell death found several days after exposure. However, it correlated neither with
early apoptosis or necrosis nor with any of the other investigated parameters. These results suggest that the G2/M arrest is an important determinant in the cytostatic action of etoposide and that the removal of DNA double strand breaks
is not sufficient to ensure cell survival. 相似文献

Hypoxia is a characteristic feature of solid tumors and occurs very early in
neoplastic development. Hypoxia transforms cell physiology in multiple ways,
with profound changes in cell metabolism, cell growth, susceptibility to
apoptosis, induction of angiogenesis, and increased motility. Over the past 20
years, our lab has determined that hypoxia also induces genetic instability. We
have conducted a large series of experiments revealing that this instability
occurs through the alteration of DNA repair pathways, including nucleotide
excision repair, DNA mismatch repair, and homology dependent repair. Our work
suggests that hypoxia, as a key component of solid tumors, can drive cancer
progression through its impact on genomic integrity. However, the acquired
changes in DNA repair that are induced by hypoxia may also render hypoxic cancer
cells vulnerable to tailored strategies designed to exploit these changes. 相似文献

Hypoxia is a characteristic feature of advanced solid tumors and may worsen prognosis. The development of tumor-targeted and
hypoxia-inducible gene therapy vectors holds promise to selectively deliver and express suicidal or cytotoxic genes in hypoxic
regions of tumors. In this regard, the promoter of the survivin gene, which encodes an anti-apoptotic protein that is strongly
expressed in tumor tissue, has received attention because of its supposed inducibility by hypoxia. However, in our present
study we demonstrate that treatment of various tumor cell lines with chronic hypoxia or with the hypoxia-mimetic CoCl2 does not result in increased expression of survivin, but rather strongly suppresses this gene’s activity. In contrast, expression
of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78/Bip) is substantially elevated under chronic hypoxia in vitro and in hypoxic areas of tumor tissue in vivo. Although tumor cells in general exhibit increased chemoresistance under hypoxic conditions, we found that hypoxic glioblastoma
cells are more sensitive to killing by the selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib, and this effect is reflected
by further decreased expression of survivin. Intriguingly, 2,5-dimethyl-celecoxib (DMC), a close structural analog of celecoxib
that lacks the ability to inhibit COX-2, is able to potently mimic the anti-tumor effects of its parent compound, indicating
that inhibition of COX-2 is not involved in these processes. Taken together, our results caution against the use of survivin-based
promoters to target hypoxic areas of tumors, but favor constructs that include the strongly hypoxia-inducible GRP78 promoter.
In addition, our data introduce celecoxib as a drug with increased cytotoxicity against hypoxic tumor cells. 相似文献

Low O2 levels in solid tumors are associated with increase in hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). The present study examines functional changes involved in adaptation to hypoxia of the LMM3 mammary tumor cell line, using CoCl2 as hypoxic mimetic. Our results showed that LMM3 cells were not only tolerant to 150 μM CoCl2 but they can overgrowth in vitro respect to untreated cells. Hypoxia inhibited cell invasion, migration, MMP-9 activity and NO levels. Macrophage cytotoxicity augmented under hypoxia but was blunted by conditioned media from tumor cells. In vivo tumorigenicity of CoCl2-treated cells was greater than controls. Our results show stabilization of HIF-1α in LMM3 cells under CoCl2 and functional changes associated with enhanced cell survival and growth but not with tumor dissemination. 相似文献

Hypoxia often occurs under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions, including solid tumors; it is linked to malignant transformation, metastatic progression, and treatment failure or resistance. Tip110 protein plays important roles in several known physiological and pathophysiological processes, including cancers. Thus, in the present study we investigated the regulation of Tip110 expression under hypoxia. Hypoxia led to Tip110 protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Under hypoxia, Tip110 stabilized p53, which in return destabilized Tip110. In addition, Tip110 regulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), likely through enhancement of its protein stability. Furthermore, Tip110 upregulated p300, a known coactivator for both p53 and HIF-1α. Expression of a p53(22/23) mutant deficient in p300 binding accelerated Tip110 degradation under hypoxia. Tip110 knockdown resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation and cell death in the presence of p53. Finally, significantly less Tip110, p53, and HIF-1α was detected in the hypoxic region of bone metastasis tumors in a mouse model of human melanoma cells. Taken together, these results suggest Tip110 is an important mediator in the cross talk between p53 and HIF-1α in response to hypoxic stress. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor gene p53, in response to DNA damage/hypoxia, induces growth arrest and/or apoptosis. Inactivation of p53, by mutations and/or overexpression of the mdm2 gene, confers a selective advantage to tumor cells under hypoxic microenvironment during tumor progression. The mole rat, Spalax, spends its life underground at low-oxygen tensions and hence has developed a wide range of respiratory/molecular adaptations to hypoxic stress. We previously reported that the highly conserved p53 Arg(R)-174 is substituted by lysine (K) in Spalax, identical to a tumor- associated mutation. Functionality assays revealed that Spalax p53 and human R174K-mutated p53 were unable to induce human/Spalax apaf1, an apoptotic target gene, while over-activating the mdm2 gene. Moreover, cells transfected with human p53 underwent more extensive apoptosis (44.8%) as compared to Spalax p53 (23.2%) transfected cells. To support our hypothesis that the pattern of activity in Spalax is related to hypoxia-tolerance, we quantified apaf1 and mdm2 mRNA levels under normoxia (21% O2), short-acute hypoxic stress (5 h at 6% O2),and long-mild hypoxic insult (44 h at 10% O2). Results were compared to those of rats under similar conditions. Following hypoxia, Spalax apaf1 mRNA levels decreased significantly, but increased in rats. apip mRNA levels, a negative regulator of apaf1, increased in Spalax and decreased in rats. mdm2 mRNA levels under hypoxia were significantly higher in Spalax. We conclude that, similar to our previous in-vitro work, two parallel hypoxia-adaptive mechanisms evolved in Spalax: mutated p53 and p53 response element leading to a bias against apoptosis and increased mdm2, which are analogous to observations in tumor development. 相似文献
