Knockdown of m6A Reader IGF2BP3 Inhibited Hypoxia-Induced Cell Migration and Angiogenesis by Regulating Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in Stomach Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors including stomach cancer (SC) and is closely associated with cancer malignant progression. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a common modification on RNA, is involved in the regulation of RNA fate and hypoxic responses in cancers. However, the interaction between m6A reader insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) and SC hypoxic microenvironment is poorly defined. In the present study, expression levels of IGF2BP3 and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF1A) were examined by bioinformatics analysis and RT-qPCR and western blot assays. Cell migratory ability was assessed through Transwell and wound healing assays. The angiogenic potential was evaluated by VEGF secretion, tube formation, and chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays. The interaction between IGF2BP3 and HIF1A was explored using bioinformatics analysis and RIP and luciferase reporter assays. The results showed that IGF2BP3 and HIF1A were highly expressed in SC tissues and hypoxia-treated SC cells. IGF2BP3 knockdown inhibited hypoxia-induced cell migration and angiogenesis in SC. IGF2BP3 positively regulated HIF1A expression by directly binding to a specific m6A site in the coding region of HIF1A mRNA in SC cells. HIF1A overexpression abrogated the effects of IGF2BP3 knockdown on hypoxia-induced cell migration and angiogenesis in SC. In conclusion, IGF2BP3 knockdown inhibited hypoxia-induced cell migration and angiogenesis by down-regulating HIF1A in SC.

MicroRNA-126 regulates Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α which inhibited migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis in replicative endothelial senescence.

Project description:Whereas a healthy endothelium maintains physiological vascular functions, endothelial damage contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial senescence is the main determinant of endothelial dysfunction and thus of age-related cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to test the involvement of microRNA-126 and HIF-1α in a model of replicative endothelial senescence and the interrelationship between both molecules in this in vitro model. We demonstrated that senescent endothelial cells experience impaired tube formation and delayed wound healing. Senescent endothelial cells failed to express HIF-1α, and the microvesicles released by these cells failed to carry HIF-1α. Of note, HIF-1α protein levels were restored in HIF-1α stabilizer-treated senescent endothelial cells. Finally, we show that microRNA-126 was downregulated in senescent endothelial cells and microvesicles. With regard to the interplay between microRNA-126 and HIF-1α, transfection with a microRNA-126 inhibitor downregulated HIF-1α expression in early passage endothelial cells. Moreover, while HIF-1α inhibition reduced tube formation and wound healing closure, microRNA-126 levels remained unchanged. These data indicate that HIF-1α is a target of miRNA-126 in protective and reparative functions, and suggest that their therapeutic modulation could benefit age-related vascular disease.

The m6A reader IGF2BP3 promotes acute myeloid leukemia progression by enhancing RCC2 stability.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant posttranscriptional modification of mRNA in eukaryotes. Recent evidence suggests that dysregulated m6A-associated proteins and m6A modifications play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of diseases such as cancer. Here, we identified that IGF2BP3 is specifically overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a subtype of leukemia associated with poor prognosis and high genetic risk. IGF2BP3 is required for maintaining AML cell survival in an m6A-dependent manner, and knockdown of IGF2BP3 dramatically suppresses the apoptosis, reduces the proliferation, and impairs the leukemic capacity of AML cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, IGF2BP3 interacts with RCC2 mRNA and stabilizes the expression of m6A-modified RNA. Thus, we provided compelling evidence demonstrating that the m6A reader IGF2BP3 contributes to tumorigenesis and poor prognosis in AML and can serve as a target for the development of cancer therapeutics.

Intrabody against prolyl hydroxylase 2 promotes angiogenesis by stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α.

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a crucial transcription factor that regulates the expression of target genes involved in angiogenesis. Prolyl hydroxylase 2 (PHD2) dominantly hydroxylates two highly conserved proline residues of HIF-1α to promote its degradation. This study was designed to construct an intrabody against PHD2 that can inhibit PHD2 activity and promote angiogenesis. Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) against PHD2, INP, was isolated by phage display technique and was modified with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sequence to obtain ER-retained intrabody against PHD2 (ER-INP). ER-INP was efficiently expressed and bound to PHD2 in cells, significantly increased the levels of HIF-1α, and decreased hydroxylated HIF-1α in human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK293) cells and mouse mononuclear macrophage leukaemia cell line (RAW264.7) cells. ER-INP has shown distinct angiogenic activity both in vitro and in vivo, as ER-INP expression significantly promoted the migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and enhanced angiogenesis of chick chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs). Furthermore, ER-INP promoted distinct expression and secretion of a range of angiogenic factors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report an ER-INP intrabody enhancing angiogenesis by blocking PHD2 activity to increase HIF-1α abundance and activity. These results indicate that ER-INP may play a role in the clinical treatment of tissue injury and ischemic diseases in the future.

RNA N6-methyladenosine reader IGF2BP3 regulates cell cycle and angiogenesis in colon cancer.

Project description:BackgroundN6-Methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been implicated in multiple processes for colon cancer development. IGF2BP3 was a newly reported m6A reader, whereas its role in colon cancer remains unclear.MethodsThe expression of m6A associated enzymes and total m6A level were measured by Western Blotting analysis and m6A RNA Methylation Quantification Kit respectively. Cell cycle was analyzed by flowcytometry. The interaction of IGF2BP3 and related targets was analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and m6A RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) assays.ResultsWe investigated all m6A regulated enzymes in colon cancer and found only the overexpression of IGF2BP3 was associated with cancer progression and survival based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. Additionally, we also demonstrated IGF2BP3 was associated with DNA replication in the cell cycle. Knockdown of IGF2BP3 significantly repressed percentage of S phase of cell cycle as well as cell proliferation. Further research demonstrated IGF2BP3 bound to the mRNA of Cyclin D1 (CCND1, checkpoint of G1/S phase of cell cycle) and reduced its mRNA stability via reading m6A modification in the CDS region. Overexpression of Cyclin D1 in IGF2BP3 down-regulated cells completely rescued the inhibited percentage of S phase in cell cycle as well as cell proliferation. Additionally, we also demonstrated a similar role of IGF2BP3 at VEGF. IGF2BP3 bound to the mRNA of VEGF and reads m6A modification, thus regulated both expression and stability of VEGF mRNA. Knockdown of IGF2BP3 repressed angiogenesis in colon cancer via regulating VEGF.ConclusionKnockdown of IGF2BP3 repressed DNA replication in the S phase of cell cycle and angiogenesis via reading m6A modification of CCND1 and VEGF respectively. IGF2BP3 was a possible prognosis marker and potential therapeutic target of colon cancer.

Knockdown of myeloid cell hypoxia-inducible factor-1α ameliorates the acute pathology in DSS-induced colitis.

Project description:Inflammation and hypoxia are hallmarks of inflammatory bowel disease. Low oxygen levels activate hypoxia-inducible factors as central transcriptional regulators of cellular responses to hypoxia, particularly in myeloid cells where hypoxia-inducible factors control immune cell function and survival. Still, the role of myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1 during inflammatory bowel disease remains poorly defined. We therefore investigated the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 for myeloid cell function and immune response during colitis. Experimental colitis was induced by administration of 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium to mice with a conditional knockout of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in myeloid cells and their wild type siblings. Murine colon tissue was examined by histologic analysis, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Induction of experimental colitis increased levels of hypoxia and accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α positive cells in colon tissue of both treated groups. Myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1α knockout reduced weight loss and disease activity index when compared to wild type mice. Knockout mice displayed less infiltration of macrophages into intestinal mucosa and reduced mRNA expression of markers for dendritic cells and interleukin-17 secreting T helper cells. Expression of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines also showed a reduced and delayed induction in myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1α knockout mice. Our results show a disease promoting role of myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1 during intestinal inflammation. This might result from a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 dependent increase in pro-inflammatory interleukin-17 secreting T helper cells in the absence of obvious changes in regulatory T cells. In contrast, knockout mice appear to shift the balance to anti-inflammatory signals and cells resulting in milder intestinal inflammation.

Cannabidiol Suppresses Angiogenesis and Stemness of Breast Cancer Cells by Downregulation of Hypoxia-Inducible Factors-1α.

Project description:To assess the effect of Cannabidiol (CBD) on the angiogenesis and stemness of breast cancer cells as well as proliferation. Methods: mRNA level and the amount of protein of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were determined by qRT-PCR and ELISA. The angiogenic potential of breast cancer cells under hypoxic conditions was identified by the HUVEC tube formation assay. The degradation of HIF-1α by CBD and the Src/von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (VHL) interaction were assessed by a co-immunoprecipitation assay and Western blotting. To identify the stemness of mamospheres, they were evaluated by the sphere-forming assay and flow cytometry. Results: CBD can suppress angiogenesis and stem cell-like properties of breast cancer through Src/VHL/HIF-1α signaling. CBD may potentially be utilized in the treatment of refractory or recurrent breast cancer.

HIF-1α-induced expression of m6A reader YTHDF1 drives hypoxia-induced autophagy and malignancy of hepatocellular carcinoma by promoting ATG2A and ATG14 translation.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), and its reader protein YTHDF1, play a pivotal role in human tumorigenesis by affecting nearly every stage of RNA metabolism. Autophagy activation is one of the ways by which cancer cells survive hypoxia. However, the possible involvement of m6A modification of mRNA in hypoxia-induced autophagy was unexplored in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, specific variations in YTHDF1 expression were detected in YTHDF1-overexpressing, -knockout, and -knockdown HCC cells, HCC organoids, and HCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) murine models. YTHDF1 expression and hypoxia-induced autophagy were significantly correlated in vitro; significant overexpression of YTHDF1 in HCC tissues was associated with poor prognosis. Multivariate cox regression analysis identified YTHDF1 expression as an independent prognostic factor in patients with HCC. Multiple HCC models confirmed that YTHDF1 deficiency inhibited HCC autophagy, growth, and metastasis. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that HIF-1α regulated YTHDF1 transcription by directly binding to its promoter region under hypoxia. The results of methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, proteomics, and polysome profiling indicated that YTHDF1 contributed to the translation of autophagy-related genes ATG2A and ATG14 by binding to m6A-modified ATG2A and ATG14 mRNA, thus facilitating autophagy and autophagy-related malignancy of HCC. Taken together, HIF-1α-induced YTHDF1 expression was associated with hypoxia-induced autophagy and autophagy-related HCC progression via promoting translation of autophagy-related genes ATG2A and ATG14 in a m6A-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that YTHDF1 is a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with HCC.

Secretogranin II impairs tumor growth and angiogenesis by promoting degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Distant metastasis is a major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) but the management of advanced and metastatic CRC still remains problematic due to the distinct molecular alterations during tumor progression. Tumor angiogenesis is a key step in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. However, the signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis are poorly understood. The results of the present study showed that secretogranin II (SCG2) was significantly downregulated in malignant CRC tissues, and higher expression of SCG2 was correlated with longer disease-free survival and overall survival of CRC patients. The results of an animal study showed that ectopic expression of SCG2 significantly inhibited CRC tumor growth by disrupting angiogenesis. Furthermore, the inhibition of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by SCG2 and rescue of VEGF effectively blocked SCG2-induced inhibition of angiogenesis. Investigations into the underlying mechanism suggested that SCG2 promoted degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α by interacting with the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor in CRC cells. Blocking of degradation of HIF-1α effectively attenuated the SCG2-mediated decrease in expression of VEGF in CRC cells. Collectively, these results demonstrated that treatment with SCG2 effectively inhibited CRC tumor growth by disrupting the activities of HIF-1α/VEGF, thereby clarifying the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis roles of SCG2 in CRC, while providing a novel therapeutic target and a potential prognostic marker of disease progression.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor-1α: a novel approach for inhibiting angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:We recently introduced CDK5 as target in HCC, regulating DNA damage response. Based on this and on our previous knowledge about vascular effects of CDK5, we investigated the role of CDK5 in angiogenesis in HCC, one of the most vascularized tumors. We put a special focus on the transcription factor HIF-1α, a master regulator of tumor angiogenesis.The interaction of CDK5 with HIF-1α was tested by Western blot, PCR, reporter gene assay, immunohistochemistry, kinase assay, co-immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, and mutation studies. In vivo, different murine HCC models, were either induced by diethylnitrosamine or subcutaneous injection of HUH7 or HepG2 cells. The correlation of vascular density and CDK5 was assessed by immunostaining of a microarray of liver tissues from HCC patients.Inhibition of CDK5 in endothelial or HCC cells reduced HIF-1α levels in vitro and in vivo, and transcription of HIF-1α target genes (VEGFA, VEGFR1, EphrinA1). Mass spectrometry and site directed mutagenesis revealed a stabilizing phosphorylation of HIF-1α at Ser687 by CDK5. Vascular density was decreased in murine HCC models by CDK5 inhibition.In conclusion, inhibiting CDK5 is a multi-modal systemic approach to treat HCC, hitting angiogenesis, as well as the tumor cells themselves.

Adrenomedullin promotes angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian cancer through upregulating hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor.

Project description:Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a multi-functional peptide related to many kinds of tumors. This study was aimed to investigate the role of ADM on angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and its possible mechanism. The expressions of ADM, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and CD34 were examined by immunohistochemistry staining. The relationship among ADM, HIF-1α, VEGF and micro-vessel density (MVD) was assessed in 56 EOC tissues. CAOV3 cells were stably transfected with pcDNA-ADM (plasmid overexpressing ADM gene) or pRNA-shADM (small interfering RNA for ADM gene). Real-time PCR and western blot analysis were performed to detect the expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF. The MTT, transwell migration assay and in vitro tube formation analysis were used to evaluate the proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) which were pretreated with ADM or ADM receptor antagonist ADM22-52. Our findings showed that ADM expression was positively correlated with the expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF or MVD in EOC. ADM upregulated expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in CAOV3 cells. ADM promoted HUVECs proliferation, migration and tube formation. In conclusion, ADM was an upstream molecule of HIF-1α/VEGF and it promoted angiogenesis through upregulating HIF-1α/VEGF in EOC.
