While progress has been made in treating cancer, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are still the most widely used drugs and are associated with severe side-effects. Drugs that target unique molecular signalling pathways are needed for treating cancer with low or no intrinsic toxicity to normal cells. Our goal is to target hypoxic tumours and specifically the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway for the development of new cancer therapies. To this end, we have previously developed benzopyran-based HIF-1 inhibitors such as arylsulfonamide KCN1. However, KCN1 and its earlier analogs have poor water solubility, which hamper their applications. Herein, we describe a series of KCN1 analogs that incorporate a morpholine moiety at various positions. We found that replacing the benzopyran group of KCN1 with a phenyl group with a morpholinomethyl moiety at the para positions had minimal effect on potency and improved the water solubility of two new compounds by more than 10-fold compared to KCN1, the lead compound. 相似文献

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) functions as a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis by mediating a wide range of cellular and systemic adaptive physiological responses to reduced oxygen availability. In this review, we will summarize recent progress in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of HIF-1 activation, focusing on the role of oxygen-dependent prolyl and asparaginyl hydroxylases in hypoxia signal transduction. 相似文献

Up-regulation of 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in human endothelial cells in response to hypoxia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Hypoxic environment in solid tumor is known to favor cell survival and to initiate the formation of new capillaries. In this work, we identified by 2D gel analysis 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP94) as being upregulated in human endothelial cells in response to hypoxia. Three putative hypoxia responsive elements (HRE) were found in the GRP94 promoter. Competition experiments of HIF-1 DNA binding using specific probes containing each HRE sequence of the GRP94 promoter clearly evidenced that HIF-1 binds these sequences with high affinity. The human GRP94 promoter was then cloned upstream of the luciferase gene and showed enhanced activity in hypoxic conditions. Mutation of two of the three HREs present in this promoter completely inhibited the hypoxia-induced increase in luciferase activity. 相似文献

Hypoxia is a common characteristic of many types of solid tumors and is associated with tumor propagation, malignant progression, and resistance to anti-cancer therapy. HIF-1 pathway is one of the survival pathways activated in tumor in response to hypoxia. In hypoxic condition, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is stabilized and translocated into nucleus where it forms heterodimer with HIF-1β and regulates the expression of a plethora of genes involved in different processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, vascularization/angiogenesis, tumor invasion and metastasis. Recruitment of co-activator p300 or CBP to HIF-1α is critical to the transactivation activity of HIF-1 dimer, therefore, small molecules which can block the dimerization of HIF-1α and HIF-1β or inhibit the interaction between HIF-1α and p300 can function as inhibitors of HIF-1 and have the potential to be developed as novel therapies for the treatment of human cancers. In this review, recent progress of small molecular inhibitors of protein-protein interactions targeting HIF-1 is summarized, the mechanism of functions of these compounds and their potential usage as anti-cancer agents have also been discussed. 相似文献

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) represents an important tumor-selective therapeutic target for solid tumors. In search of novel small molecule HIF-1 inhibitors, 5400 natural product-rich extracts from plants, marine organisms, and microbes were examined for HIF-1 inhibitory activities using a cell-based reporter assay. Bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation, followed by structure elucidation, yielded three potent natural product-derived HIF-1 inhibitors and two structurally related inactive compounds. In a T47D cell-based reporter assay, manassantin B1, manassantin A, and 4-O-methylsaucerneol inhibited hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activation with IC50 values of 3, 3, and 20 nM, respectively. All three compounds are relatively hypoxia-specific inhibitors of HIF-1 activation, in comparison to other stimuli. The hypoxic induction of HIF-1 target genes CDKN1A, VEGF, and GLUT-1 were also inhibited. These compounds inhibit HIF-1 by blocking hypoxia-induced nuclear HIF-1alpha protein accumulation without affecting HIF-1alpha mRNA levels. In addition, preliminary structure-activity studies suggest specific structural requirements for this class of HIF-1 inhibitors. 相似文献

Hypoxia enhances CXCR4 expression favoring microglia migration via HIF-1alpha activation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Migration toward pathological area is the first critical step in microglia engagement during the central nervous system (CNS) injury, although the molecular mechanisms underlying microglia mobilization have not been fully understood. Here, we report that hypoxia promotes stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) induced microglia migration by inducing the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression. Exposure to hypoxia significantly enhanced CXCR4 expression levels in N9 microglia cell. Then, cell migration induced by SDF-1, a CXCR4-specific ligand, was observed accelerated. Blockade of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activation by inhibitors of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway abrogated both of hypoxia-induced CXCR4 up-regulation and cell-migration acceleration. These results point to a crucial role of Hypoxia-HIF-1α-CXCR4 pathway during microglia migration. 相似文献

Post-translational modification by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) plays an important role in the regulation of different signaling pathways and is involved in the formation of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein nuclear bodies following sumoylation of PML. In the present study, we found that IL-6 induces desumoylation of PML and dissociation between PML and SUMO1 in hepatoma cells. We also found that IL-6 induces mRNA expression of SENP1, a member of the SUMO-specific protease family. Furthermore, wild-type SENP1 but not an inactive SENP1 mutant restored the PML-mediated suppression of STAT3 activation. These results indicate that the IL-6 family of cytokines modulates STAT3 activation by desumoylation and inactivation PML through SENP1 induction. 相似文献
