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

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis that controls the expression of genes encoding proteins that play key roles in angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, and glucose/energy metabolism. The stability of the HIF-1alpha subunit is regulated by ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. In aerobic cells, O(2)-dependent prolyl hydroxylation of HIF-1alpha is required for binding of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein VHL, which then recruits the Elongin C ubiquitin-ligase complex. SSAT2 (spermidine/spermine N-acetyltransferase-2) binds to HIF-1alpha and promotes its ubiquitination/degradation by stabilizing the interaction of VHL and Elongin C. Treatment of cells with heat shock protein HSP90 inhibitors induces the degradation of HIF-1alpha even under hypoxic conditions. HSP90 competes with RACK1 for binding to HIF-1alpha, and HSP90 inhibition leads to increased binding of RACK1, which recruits the Elongin C ubiquitin-ligase complex to HIF-1alpha in an O(2)-independent manner. In this work, we demonstrate that SSAT1, which shares 46% amino acid identity with SSAT2, also binds to HIF-1alpha and promotes its ubiquitination/degradation. However, in contrast to SSAT2, SSAT1 acts by stabilizing the interaction of HIF-1alpha with RACK1. Thus, the paralogs SSAT1 and SSAT2 play complementary roles in promoting O(2)-independent and O(2)-dependent degradation of HIF-1alpha.  相似文献

缺氧诱导因子(HIF-1alpha)是肿瘤细胞生长过程中重要的调控因子,研究其作用机制有利于实现对肿瘤细胞增殖的抑制作用。 HIF-1alpha可引起多种基因转录,使肿瘤细胞耐受低氧环境,进而使癌症患者在治疗过程中产生耐受反应,最终影响治疗效果,甚至 放弃治疗。因此,以HIF-1alpha为靶点是治疗肿瘤的重要手段和方法。本文对HIF-1alpha的基本概况及其主要信号通路(PI3K 通路、 HSP90 通路及MAPK通路)以及不同通路抑制剂(如LY294002、17AAG、PD98059、U0126、SB203580、SP600125 等)进行综述,并 对HIF-1alpha的应用前景进行展望。  相似文献

Hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) mRNA expression is significantly decreased under hypoxia in different cell lines exposed directly to hypoxia or treated with dimethyloxalylglycine which mimics hypoxic effects under normoxic conditions. However, the decreased expression of HIF-1alpha mRNA is accompanied by an increase of HIF-1alpha protein (pHIF-1alpha) level as well as by overexpression of known HIF-dependent genes (VEGF, Glut1, PFKFB-3 and PFKFB-4) under hypoxic conditions or with the use of dimethyloxalylglycine. Expression of HIF-1alpha mRNA also depends on iron because desferrioxamine and cobalt chloride produce similar to hypoxia effects on the levels of this mRNA. It was shown that HIF-1alpha mRNA expression did not change significantly in some cell lines (SKBR3, MDA-MB468 and BT549) under hypoxia. However, in these cell lines hypoxia decreases expression of HIF-2alpha mRNA, another member of HIF-alpha gene family, as a result of cell specific regulation of HIF-alpha genes under hypoxia. Moreover, hypoxia slightly induces expression of PFKFB-4 mRNA in SKBR3, MDA-MB468 and BT549 as compared to other cell lines where this effect of hypoxia was much stronger and adaptation to hypoxia is controlled by HIF-1alpha. Hypoxia slightly reduces expression of tumor suppressor VHL which targets HIF-1alpha for ubiquitination. Thus, our results clearly demonstrated down regulation of HIF-1alpha or HIF-2alpha in different cell lines by hypoxia.  相似文献

Tissue hypoxia/ischemia are major pathophysiological determinants. Conditions of decreased oxygen availability provoke accumulation and activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). Recent reports demonstrate a crucial role of HIF-1 for inflammatory events. Regulation of hypoxic responses by the inflammatory mediators nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) is believed to be of pathophysiolgical relevance. It is reported that hypoxic stabilization of HIF-1alpha can be antagonized by NO due to its ability to attenuate mitochondrial electron transport. Likely, the formation of ROS could contribute to this effect. As conflicting results emerged from several studies showing either decreased or increased ROS production during hypoxia, we used experiments mimicking hypoxic intracellular ROS changes by using the redox cycling agent 2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ), which generates superoxide inside cells. Treatment of A549, HEK293, HepG2, and COS cells with DMNQ resulted in a concentration-dependent raise in ROS which correlated with HIF-1alpha accumulation. By using a HIF-1alpha-von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein binding assay, we show that ROS produced by DMNQ impaired prolyl hydroxylase activity. When HIF-1alpha is stabilized by NO, low concentrations of DMNQ (<1 microM) revealed no effect, intermediate concentrations of 1 to 40 microM DMNQ attenuated HIF-1alpha accumulation and higher concentrations of DMNQ promoted HIF-1alpha stability. Attenuation of NO-induced HIF-1alpha stability regulation by ROS was mediated by an active proteasomal degradation pathway. In conclusion, we propose that scavenging of NO by ROS and vice versa attenuate HIF-1alpha accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner. This is important to fully elucidate HIF-1alpha regulation under inflammatory conditions.  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

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha subunits are induced under hypoxic conditions, when limited oxygen supply prevents prolyl hydroxylation-dependent binding of the ubiquitin ligase pVHL and subsequent proteasomal degradation. A short normoxic half-life of HIF-alpha and a very rapid hypoxic protein stabilization are crucial to the cellular adaptation to changing oxygen supply. However, the molecular requirements for the unusually rapid mechanisms of protein synthesis, folding and nuclear translocation are not well understood. We and others previously found that the chaperone heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) can interact with HIF-1alpha in vitro. Here we show that HSP90 also interacts with HIF-2alpha and HIF-3alpha, suggesting a general involvement of HSP90 in HIF-alpha stabilization. The PAS B domain, common to all three alpha subunits, was required for HSP90 interaction. ARNT competed with HSP90 for binding to the PAS B domain since an excess of either component inhibited the activity of the other. HSP90 as well as the heterocomplex members HSP70 and p23, but not HSP40, were detected in immunoprecipitations of endogenous cellular HIF-1alpha. While HSP90 and HSP70 bound to HIF-1alpha predominantly under normoxic conditions, ARNT bound to HIF-1alpha primarily under hypoxic conditions, suggesting that ARNT displaced HSP90 from HIF-1alpha following nuclear translocation. Hypoxic accumulation of HIF-1alpha was delayed in a novel cell model deficient for HSP90beta as well as after treatment of wild-type cells with the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin, suggesting that HSP90 activity is involved in the rapid HIF-1alpha protein induction.  相似文献
