Anti-apoptotic role of HIF-1 and AP-1 in paclitaxel exposed breast cancer cells under hypoxia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypoxia is a hallmark of solid tumors and is associated with metastases, therapeutic resistance and poor patient survival.

Results

In this study, we showed that hypoxia protected MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells against paclitaxel- but not epirubicin-induced apoptosis. The possible implication of HIF-1 and AP-1 in the hypoxia-induced anti-apoptotic pathway was investigated by the use of specific siRNA. Specific inhibition of the expression of these two transcription factors was shown to increase apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic agents under hypoxia indicating an involvement of HIF-1 and AP-1 in the anti-apoptotic effect of hypoxia. After HIF-1 specific inhibition and using TaqMan Human Apoptosis Array, 8 potential HIF-1 target genes were identified which could take part in this protection. Furthermore, Mcl-1 was shown to be a potential AP-1 target gene which could also participate to the hypoxia-induced chemoresistance.

Conclusions

Altogether, these data highlight two mechanisms by which hypoxia could mediate its protective role via the activation of two transcription factors and, consecutively, changes in gene expression encoding different anti- and pro-apoptotic proteins.

Interleukin-1? Affects MDAMB231 Breast Cancer Cell Migration under Hypoxia: Role of HIF-1? and NF?B Transcription Factors.

Project description:Inflammation and tumor hypoxia are intimately linked and breast cancer provides a typical example of an inflammation-linked malignant disease. Indeed, breast cancer progression is actively supported by inflammatory components, including IL-1?, and by the hypoxia-inducible factor- (HIF-) 1?. In spite of many attempts where the role of either IL-1? or HIF-1? was evaluated, detailed mechanisms for their effects on breast cancer cell migration under hypoxia are still unclear. We here report that IL-1? increased MDAMB231 cell migration under hypoxic conditions along with HIF-1? accumulation and upregulation of CXCR1, which is transcriptionally regulated by HIF-1?, as well as an increased expression of CXCL8 and NF?B. In addition, IL-1?-induced cell migration in hypoxia was not affected when HIF-1? was inhibited by either siRNA or Topotecan, well known for its inhibitory effect on HIF-1?. Of interest, HIF-1? inhibition did not reduce NF?B and CXCL8 expression and the reduction of IL-1?-induced cell migration under hypoxia was achieved only by pharmacological inhibition of NF?B. Our findings indicate that inhibition of HIF-1? does not prevent the migratory program activated by IL-1? in hypoxic MDAMB231 cells. They also suggest a potential compensatory role of NF?B/CXCL8 pathway in IL-1?-induced MDAMB231 cell migration in a hypoxic microenvironment.

Novel lnc RNA regulated by HIF-1 inhibits apoptotic cell death in the renal tubular epithelial cells under hypoxia.

Project description:Chronic tubulointerstitial hypoxia plays an important role as the final common pathway to end-stage renal disease. HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1) is a master transcriptional factor under hypoxia, regulating downstream target genes. Genome-wide analysis of HIF-1 binding sites using high-throughput sequencers has clarified various kinds of downstream targets and made it possible to demonstrate the novel roles of HIF-1. Our aim of this study is to identify novel HIF-1 downstream epigenetic targets which may play important roles in the kidney. Immortalized tubular cell lines (HK2; human kidney-2) and primary cultured cells (RPTEC; renal proximal tubular cell lines) were exposed to 1% hypoxia for 24-72 h. We performed RNA-seq to clarify the expression of mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). We also examined ChIP-seq to identify HIF-1 binding sites under hypoxia. RNA-seq identified 44 lncRNAs which are up-regulated under hypoxic condition in both cells. ChIP-seq analysis demonstrated that HIF-1 also binds to the lncRNAs under hypoxia. The expression of novel lncRNA, DARS-AS1 (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase anti-sense 1), is up-regulated only under hypoxia and HIF-1 binds to its promoter region, which includes two hypoxia-responsive elements. Its expression is also up-regulated with cobalt chloride exposure, while it is not under hypoxia when HIF-1 is knocked down by siRNA To clarify the biological roles of DARS-AS1, we measured the activity of caspase 3/7 using anti-sense oligo of DARS-AS1. Knockdown of DARS-AS1 deteriorated apoptotic cell death. In conclusion, we identified the novel lncRNAs regulated by HIF-1 under hypoxia and clarified that DARS-AS1 plays an important role in inhibiting apoptotic cell death in renal tubular cells.

Anti-apoptotic genes are synergistically activated in OVSAYO cells cultured under conditions of serum starvation and hypoxia.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment is generally hypoxic because of the limited oxygen supply from inefficient or insufficient vasculature. Hypoxic tumor tissues are also poorly supplied with serum components. We have previously demonstrated that expression of the FVII gene is induced in response to hypoxia in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) cells. This gene activation is synergistically enhanced when cells are simultaneously subjected to serum starvation, and is dependent on the transcription factor Sp1 directly associating with the FVII promoter. We have identified additional genes activated via a similar Sp1-dependent mechanism by conducting cDNA microarray analysis (GSE55565). ICAM1, which encodes intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), is one such gene. ICAM-1 confers an anti-apoptotic effect upon CCC cells in vitro and promotes growth of CCC tumors. Here we describe the transcriptome analysis performed in our recently published study (Koizume et al., 2015). We further show that autonomous activation of the TNF?-NF?B axis is responsible for the synergistic activation of ICAM1 under hypoxic and serum starvation conditions. This study provides additional information as to how CCC cell survival can be facilitated under conditions of serum starvation and hypoxia.

Beluga whale pVHL enhances HIF-2? activity via inducing HIF-2? proteasomal degradation under hypoxia.

Project description:Aquatic mammals, such as cetaceans experience various depths, with accordingly diverse oxygenation, thus, cetaceans have developed adaptations for hypoxia, but mechanisms underlying this tolerance to low oxygen are unclear. Here we analyzed VHL and HIF-2?, in the hypoxia signaling pathway. Variations in VHL are greater than HIF-2? between cetaceans and terrestrial mammals, and beluga whale VHL (BW-VHL) promotes HIF-2? degradation under hypoxia. BW-VHL catalyzes BW-HIF-2? to form K48-linked poly-ubiquitin chains mainly at the lysine 429 of BW-HIF-2? (K429) and induces BW-HIF-2? for proteasomal degradation. W100 within BW-VHL is a key site for BW-VHL functionally and BW-VHL enhances transcriptional activity of BW-HIF-2? under hypoxia. Our data therefore reveal that BW-VHL has a unique function that may contribute to hypoxic adaptation.

Reciprocal Regulation of MAGED2 and HIF-1α Augments Their Expression under Hypoxia: Role of cAMP and PKA Type II.

Project description:Hypoxia stabilizes the transcription factor HIF-1α, which promotes the transcription of many genes essential to adapt to reduced oxygen levels. Besides proline hydroxylation, expression of HIF-1α is also regulated by a range of other posttranslational modifications including phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), which stabilizes HIF-1α. We recently demonstrated that MAGED2 is required for cAMP generation under hypoxia and proposed that this regulation may explain the transient nature of antenatal Bartter syndrome (aBS) due to MAGED2 mutations. Consequently, we sought to determine whether hypoxic induction of HIF-1α requires also MAGED2. In HEK293 and HeLa cells, MAGED2 knock-down impaired maximal induction of HIF-1α under physical hypoxia as evidenced by time-course experiments, which showed a signification reduction of HIF-1α upon MAGED2 depletion. Similarly, using cobalt chloride to induce HIF-1α, MAGED2 depletion impaired its appropriate induction. Given the known effect of the cAMP/PKA pathway on the hypoxic induction of HIF-1α, we sought to rescue impaired HIF-1α induction with isoproterenol and forskolin acting upstream and downstream of Gαs, respectively. Importantly, while forskolin induced HIF-1α above control levels in MAGED2-depleted cells, isoproterenol had no effect. To further delineate which PKA subtype is involved, we analyzed the effect of two PKA inhibitors and identified that PKA type II regulates HIF-1α. Interestingly, MAGED2 mRNA and protein were also increased under hypoxia by a cAMP mimetic. Moreover, MAGED2 protein expression also required HIF-1α. Thus, our data provide evidence for reciprocal regulation of MAGED2 and HIF-1α under hypoxia, revealing therefore a new regulatory mechanism that may further explain the transient nature of aBS caused by MAGED2 mutations.

L3MBTL3 is induced by HIF-1α and fine tunes the HIF-1α degradation under hypoxia in vitro.

Project description:HIF-1α plays a crucial part in hypoxia response by transcriptionally upregulating genes to adapt the hypoxic condition. HIF-1α is under severe cellular control as its exceptional activation is always associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Here, we report L3MBTL3 serves as a novel negative regulator of HIF-1α. It is upregulated during hypoxia and acts as a transcriptional target of HIF-1α. In the nuclei, L3MBTL3 makes an interaction with HIF-1α and promotes its ubiquitination and degradation. These findings indicate L3MBTL3 forms a negative feedback loop with HIF-1α in vitro to dampen the hypoxic response.

Glutamate dehydrogenase1 supports HIF-1α stability to promote colorectal tumorigenesis under hypoxia

Project description:Tumour cells surviving hypoxic stress acquire the ability to drive cancer progression. To explore the contribution of dehydrogenases to the low oxygen concentration response, we used siRNAs targeting 163 dehydrogenase-coding genes and discovered that glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GDH1) plays a critical role in regulating colorectal cancer (CRC) cell survival under hypoxia. We observed that GDH1 deficiency had an inhibitory effect on CRC occurrence and impaired hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) stability even under hypoxia. Mechanistically, hypoxia triggered p300 recruitment to GDH1, promoting its acetylation at K503 and K527. GDH1 acetylation at K527 induced the formation of a GDH1 complex with EGLN1/HIF-1α; in contrast, GDH1 acetylation at K503 reinforced its affinity for α-ketoglutarate (αKG), and glutamate production. In line with this view, αKG is a product of GDH1 under normoxia, but hypoxia stimulation reversed GDH1 enzyme activity and αKG consumption by the EGLN1/HIF-1α complex, increasing HIF-1α stability and promoting CRC progression. Clinically, hypoxia-modulated GDH1 AcK503/527 can be used as a biomarker of CRC progression and is a potential target for CRC treatment.

Neuroglobin in Breast Cancer Cells: Effect of Hypoxia and Oxidative Stress on Protein Level, Localization, and Anti-Apoptotic Function.

Project description:The over-expression of human neuroglobin (NGB), a heme-protein preferentially expressed in the brain, displays anti-apoptotic effects against hypoxic/ischemic and oxidative stresses enhancing neuron survival. As hypoxic and oxidative stress injury frequently occurs in fast proliferating neoplastic tissues, here, the effect of these stressors on the level, localization, and anti-apoptotic function of NGB in wild type and NGB-stable-silenced MCF-7 breast cancer cells has been assessed. The well-known endogenous NGB inducer 17?-estradiol (E2) has been used as positive control. The median pO2 present in tumor microenvironment of breast cancer patients (i.e., 2% O2) does not affect the NGB level in breast cancer cells, whereas hydrogen peroxide and lead(IV) acetate, which increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, enhance the NGB levels outside the mitochondria and still activate apoptosis. However, E2-induced NGB up-regulation in mitochondria completely reverse lead(IV) acetate-induced PARP cleavage. These results indicate that the NGB level could represent a marker of oxidative-stress in MCF-7 breast cancer cells; however, the NGB ability to respond to injuring stimuli by preventing apoptosis requires its re-allocation into the mitochondria. As a whole, present data might lead to a new direction in understanding NGB function in cancer opening new avenues for the therapeutic intervention.

Exosomes from Macrophages Exposed to Apoptotic Breast Cancer Cells Promote Breast Cancer Proliferation and Metastasis.

Project description:Exosomes have recently become the subject of increasing research interest. Interactions between tumor and host cells via exosomes play crucial roles in the initiation, progression and invasiveness of breast cancer. In our study, we used exosomes isolated from a co-culture model of THP-1-derived macrophages exposed to apoptotic MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line cells to investigate their effects on naïve MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro and in vivo. This post-chemotherapy tumor microenvironment model allowed us to explore possible mechanisms that explain increased proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer seen in some patients. Our results suggest that while exosomes derived from macrophages normally inhibit proliferation and metastasis of MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells, exposure of macrophages to breast cancer cells that have experienced chemotherapy are modified them to promote these processes. Exosomes from macrophages exposed to apoptotic cancer cells have increased amounts of IL-6 that increases the phosphorylation of STAT3, which likely explains the increased transcription of STAT3 target genes such as CyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9. These observations suggest that the inhibition of exosome secretion and STAT3 signaling pathway activation might suppress the growth and metastasis of malignant tumors, and provide new targets for therapeutic treatment of malignant tumors after chemotherapy.

Regulation of a rat VL30 element in human breast cancer cells in hypoxia and anoxia: role of HIF-1.

Project description:Novel approaches to cancer gene therapy currently exploit tumour hypoxia to achieve transcriptional targeting using oxygen-regulated enhancer elements called hypoxia response elements. The activity of such elements in hypoxic cells is directly dependent on upregulation of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 However tumours also contain areas of anoxia, which may be considered a more tumour-selective transcriptional stimulus than hypoxia for targeting gene therapy to tumours. Another element, from the rat virus-like retrotransposon, VL30 (termed the "secondary anoxia response element") has been reported to be more highly inducible in rat fibroblasts under anoxia than hypoxia. To investigate anoxia as a potential transcriptional target in human tumours, we have examined secondary anoxia response element inducibility in two human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and T47D, under anoxia, hypoxia and normoxia. In both cell types, the trimerised secondary anoxia response element showed greater inducibility in anoxia than hypoxia (1% and 0.5% O(2)). The anoxic response of the secondary anoxia response element was shown to be dependent on hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 and the presence of a hypoxia-inducible transcription binding site consensus (5'-ACGTG-3'). Mutational analysis demonstrated that the base immediately 5' to this modulates the anoxic/hypoxic induction of the secondary anoxia response element, such that TACGTG>GACGTG>>CACGTG. A similar correlation was found for erythropoietin, phosphoglycerate kinase 1, and aldolase hypoxia response elements, which contain these respective 5' flanking bases.
