The enhanced tumor oxygenation after oxygen microbubble treatment inhibited hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway to improve the morphology and function of tumor vasculature.
The tumor hypoxia was assessed by staining for pimonidazole adduct formation and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9).
Here, we found that the expressions of HIF1α and PD-L1 were significantly increased in FTC tissues and were correlated with the FTC clinicopathologic features, such as the tumor size, T stage, TNM staging, and metastasis.
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) mediates tumor cell adaptation to hypoxic conditions and is a potentially important anticancer therapeutic target.
Moreover, ER(+) and HER2 protein-overexpressing DCIS showed significantly higher hypoxia-inducible factor-1α protein expression than the ER(+) and HER2 protein-nonoverexpressing tumors (P=0.016).
Interestingly, the binding motif of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) is enriched among both peripheral and tumor DhMRs, while the Myc-binding motif is specifically enriched among only tumor DhMRs.
Collectively, our data show that HIF-1 is a pivotal pro-tumorigenic factor for intestinal tumor formation, controlling key oncogenic programs in both the epithelial tumor compartment and the tumor microenvironment.
Western blot analysis demonstrated that knockdown of talin2 in MDA-MB-231 cells caused marked downregulation of the tumor microenvironment markers hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 kinase, phosphorylated protein kinase B and phosphorylated mechanistic target of rapamycin.
In E-HCC patients, serum exosomal miR-21 and miR-10b levels were associated with advanced tumor stage and HIF-1α and HIF-2α expression and were independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival of E-HCC patients.
High-Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) Promotes Angiogenesis and Tumor Migration by Regulating Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1α) Expression via the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase (PI3K)/AKT Signaling Pathway in Breast Cancer Cells.
Our findings suggest that the molecular cross-talks between hypoxic ER stress, LRP6/β-catenin signaling, and the HIF1α pathway may represent an unappreciated mechanism that enables some tumor subtypes to survive and grow in hypoxic conditions.
Using a murine orthotopic anaplastic astrocytoma model, ALTS1C1, this study showed that brain tumor edge had a very unique microenvironment, having higher microvascular density (MVD) and better vessel function than the tumor core, but on the other hand was also positive for hypoxia markers, such as pimonidazole (PIMO), hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and carbonic anhydrase IV (CAIX).
Due to the high oxygen capacity of such nanoparticles, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment was greatly modulated after these nanoparticles reached the tumor region, and the results revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF-1α) was down-regulated and the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was then reduced, which were in favor of chemotherapy.
TumorHIF-1α-positivity correlated to increased breast cancer mortality, and negative prognostic factors including low age at diagnosis and ER-negativity.
The cellular metabolic reprogramming in cancer is regulated by several oncogenic proteins and tumor suppressors such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1), Myc, p53, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
UV-inactivated reovirus did not induce downregulation of HIF-1α expression in the tumors, indicating that virus replication was indispensable for downregulation of HIF-1α expression in the subcutaneous tumors.
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) plays a pivotal role in tumor adaptation to microenvironmental hypoxia, and it also exerts important roles in angiogenesis and tumor development.
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha), one of the best-studied oncogenes, plays an important part in tumor adaptation to microenvironmental hypoxia and was found to be overexpressed in several malignancies, including ovarian cancer.
Furthermore, our data revealed that HIF-1α was a downstream target of miR-186-5p and that NEAT1 could exert its tumor oncogenic roles on OS cells via the miR-186-5p/HIF-1α axis.
Extensive damage to cellular-DNA; down-regulated transcription of hif-1α, vegf, akt and bcl2; and up-regulated expression of bax and caspases, were observed in tumor.
