Chromium(VI) (Cr(VI)) is widely used in industry and is a potent inducer of tumors in animals. The present study demonstrates that Cr(VI) induces hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activity through the specific expression of HIF-1alpha but not HIF-1beta subunit and increases the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in DU145 human prostate carcinoma cells. To dissect the signaling pathways involved in Cr(VI)-induced HIF-1 expression, we found that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling was required for HIF-1alpha expression induced by Cr(VI). Neither phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase nor extracellular signal-regulated kinase activity was required for Cr(VI)-induced HIF-1 expression. Cr(VI) induced expression of HIF-1 and VEGF through the production of reactive oxygen species in DU145 cells. The major species of reactive oxygen species responsible for the induction of HIF-1 and VEGF expression is H(2)O(2). These results suggest that the expression of HIF-1 and VEGF induced by Cr(VI) may be an important signaling pathway in the Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Recently we have demonstrated that sodium arsenite induces the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) protein and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in OVCAR-3 human ovarian cancer cells. We now show that arsenic trioxide, an experimental anticancer drug, exerts the same effects. The involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in the effects of sodium arsenite was investigated. By using kinase inhibitors in OVCAR-3 cells, both effects of sodium arsenite were found to be independent of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and p44/p42 MAPKS but were attenuated by inhibition of p38 MAPK. A role for p38 in the regulation of HIF-1alpha and VEGF expression was supported further by analysis of activation kinetics. Experiments in mouse fibroblast cell lines, lacking expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinases 1 and 2, suggested that these kinases are not required for induction of HIF-1alpha protein and VEGF mRNA. Unexpectedly, sodium arsenite did not activate a HIF-1-dependent reporter gene in OVCAR-3 cells, indicating that functional HIF-1 was not induced. In agreement with this hypothesis, up-regulation of VEGF mRNA was not reduced in HIF-1alpha(-/-) mouse fibroblast cell lines. Altogether, these data suggest that not HIF-1, but rather p38, mediates induction of VEGF mRNA expression by sodium arsenite. 相似文献

Stimulation of human colon cancer cells with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) induces expression of the VEGF gene, encoding vascular endothelial growth factor. In this article we demonstrate that exposure of HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells to IGF-1 induces the expression of HIF-1 alpha, the regulated subunit of hypoxia-inducible factor 1, a known transactivator of the VEGF gene. In contrast to hypoxia, which induces HIF-1 alpha expression by inhibiting its ubiquitination and degradation, IGF-1 did not inhibit these processes, indicating an effect on HIF-1 alpha protein synthesis. IGF-1 stimulation of HIF-1 alpha protein and VEGF mRNA expression was inhibited by treating cells with inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and MAP kinase signaling pathways. These inhibitors also blocked the IGF-1-induced phosphorylation of the translational regulatory proteins 4E-BP1, p70 S6 kinase, and eIF-4E, thus providing a mechanism for the modulation of HIF-1 alpha protein synthesis. Forced expression of a constitutively active form of the MAP kinase kinase, MEK2, was sufficient to induce HIF-1 alpha protein and VEGF mRNA expression. Involvement of the MAP kinase pathway represents a novel mechanism for the induction of HIF-1 alpha protein expression in human cancer cells. 相似文献

It has been suggested that blood vessel formation is an important event coupled to bone formation. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent angiogenic factor, has been shown to be greatly stimulated in osteoblasts by hypoxic stimuli such as deprivation of oxygen and treatment with cobalt. In other cell types, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) that binds hypoxia-response element (HRE) has been shown to mediate gene expression induced by hypoxic stimuli. In this study, we investigated the effects of hypoxic stimuli on HIF-1, HRE, and VEGF in osteoblastic cell lines. Exposure of these cells to hypoxia or cobalt resulted in a great increase in the protein level of HIF-1alpha and the gene expression of VEGF. Transforming growth factor-beta1, prostaglandin E2, dexamethasone, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 that have been shown to regulate VEGF gene expression in osteoblasts had no effect on HIF-1alpha induction. Blocking the enzymatic activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, p38, MEK-1 did not have any effect on the cobalt-stimulated increase of HIF-1alpha in these cells. In contrast, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a scavenger of reactive oxygen species, abolished the cobalt induction of HIF-1alpha and that of the VEGF and a HRE-driven reporter genes. However, the hypoxia responses were not affected by NAC. These findings suggest that hypoxia and cobalt can induce VEGF gene expression in osteoblasts by increasing the level of HIF-1alpha protein through different mechanisms. 相似文献

During early pregnancy, an environment of relative low oxygen tension is essential for normal embryonic and placental vasculature. In low-oxygen conditions, the hypoxic-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), composed of alpha and beta subunits, controls the expression of a number of genes such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key angiogenic factor. The recent studies in some tumor cells have found that the labile component, HIF-1 alpha, is not only activated by hypoxia but also by peptides such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) in normoxia. In this article, we demonstrated that exposure of normal human cytotrophoblast cells to IL-1 beta stimulated the expression of HIF-1 alpha protein. Meanwhile, IL-1 beta also induced the secretion of VEGF in normal human cytotrophoblast cells. Our data indicated that IL-1 beta induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 phosphorylation. Moreover, treatment of cells with PD98059, an inhibitor of ERK1/2 signaling, inhibited the stimulation of HIF-1 alpha protein expression and VEGF secretion by IL-1 beta. These data indicate that, in normal human cytotrophoblast cells, IL-1 beta induces HIF- 1 alpha-mediated VEGF secretion and that IL-1 beta-stimulated ERK1/2 activation may be involved in this process. 相似文献

Disruption of cellular adhesion is an essential pathobiologic step leading to tumor dissemination. Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a mucinous glycoprotein expressed at the surfaces of epithelial cells in many tissues and their carcinomas. MUC1 plays crucial roles in tumor invasion and metastasis, especially in opposing cell adhesion. We have shown that virus infection, specifically by the human tumor virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) induces a spectrum of cellular invasiveness and metastasis factors. Here we show that expression of MUC1 is increased in diverse latently EBV-infected cell lines that express latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), the main viral oncoprotein, and that the level of MUC1 was suppressed by expression of a dominant-negative mutant of LMP1. Expression of LMP1 in EBV-negative nasopharyngeal cell lines induces expression of MUC1 through activation of the MUC1 promoter via binding of STAT1 and STAT3. Finally, LMP1 reduces cell adhesion ability, which is restored by inhibition of MUC1 expression with MUC1 small interfering RNA (siRNA). In addition, LMP1 increases cell invasiveness, which is suppressed by MUC1 siRNA. Thus, LMP1 induces MUC1, a factor important in an early step of detachment and release of tumor cells, which along with induction of other invasiveness and angiogenic factors may combine to act in a complex sequential process that culminates in metastasis of EBV-infected tumor cells. 相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is up-regulated by oxidative stressors through activation of hypoxia-inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1). To investigate whether this is a general phenomenon, we studied the effects of the sulfhydryl reagent arsenite on VEGF expression in human ovarian cancer cells. Arsenite potently induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in several cell systems and directly interacts with sulfhydryl groups of cellular thiols. We report that arsenite induces VEGF mRNA and protein levels in normoxic H134 and OVCAR-3 cells. Arsenite also increases HIF-1alpha protein levels, suggesting a role for HIF-1 in the induction of VEGF expression. Pretreatment with the ROS inhibitors catalase and mannitol attenuated arsenite-induced ROS production, but did not affect induction of VEGF mRNA and HIF-1alpha protein. In contrast, pretreatment with the thiol antioxidants glutathione or N-acetylcysteine completely abrogated both effects, whereas a potentiation was observed by depletion of intracellular glutathione. These results demonstrate that arsenite-induced VEGF mRNA and HIF-1alpha protein expression is independent of increased ROS production but critically regulated by the cellular reduced glutathione content. In addition, these data suggest the involvement of a thiol-sensitive mechanism in the regulation of VEGF mRNA expression and HIF-1alpha protein in human ovarian cancer cells. 相似文献
