In this study, we confirmed that hypoxia is an important feature of osteosarcoma, validated by the positive immunohistochemistry staining of hypoxia marker hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) in osteosarcoma tissue samples.
Here, we quantified protein level of HIF-1α in human osteosarcoma U2OS cells treated with ascochlorin-related compounds and typical HIF-1α stabilizers to characterize properties of HIF-1α stabilization by 4-<i>O</i>-methylascochlorin.
We found that hBMSC-MVs promoted U2OS cell proliferation and migration under hypoxia in vitro, and that was partially associated with the PI3K/AKT and HIF-1α pathways.
HIF-1 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, which promoted cell proliferation, clone formation, migration, invasion and inhibited cell apoptosis.
In this paper, the therapeutic mechanism of R rosea for AMS was investigated by analysis of the relationship between R rosea compositions and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) degradation pathway.System biology and network biology, computational approaches were used to explore the molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).Our results showed that chemical compositions of R rosea could inhibit the targets of HIF-1 degradation pathway in multi-composition/multi-target ways.We conclude that the 18 components with more than 2 targets and 5 targets (arrest-defective-1 [ARD1], forkhead transcription factor [FOXO4], osteosarcoma-9 [OS-9], prolyl hydroxylase 2 [PHD2], human double minute 2 [Hdm2]) deserve to be noticed, and PHD2, receptor for activated C-kinase1 (RACK1) and spermidine/spermine-N1-acetyltransferase-1 (SSAT1) may be the targets of active ingredients of rhodionin, rhodiosin, and rhodiolatuntoside, respectively.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) feedback loop in hypoxic microenvironment of OS.
According to these findings, miR-33b plays a suppressive role in the regulation of osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration via directly targeting HIF-1α.
Taken together, our findings suggest that THC suppresses metastasis and invasion and this may be associated with HIF-1α and autophagy, which would potentially provide therapeutic strategies for human osteosarcoma.
In this study, we found that the expression of HIF-1α was significantly increased, while miR-20b obviously decreased in OS patients and OS cell lines compared with healthy controls.
To investigate the effects of NDV infection on HIF-1α in cancer cells, the osteosarcoma (Saos-2), breast carcinoma (MCF-7), colon carcinoma (HCT116) and fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cell lines were used in the present study.
Moreover, the function of HIF1 in osteosarcoma cells was further investigated in in-vitro experiments by regulating HIF1 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) expression.
Although 8-week treatment led to eventual loss of HIF1α(PP) expression, treated osteosarcoma U-2 OS cells acquired tumorigenicity in the subcutaneous tissue.
DEC2 knockdown in osteosarcoma cell lines (U2OS, MNNG and 143B) attenuated HIF-1α accumulation and impaired the up-regulation of HIF-1 target genes in response to hypoxia.
We performed immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR, Western blots and fluorescent reporter assays to evaluate the correlation between CXCR4 and HIF-1α expression in human osteosarcoma specimens or SOSP-9607 cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.
Drug resistance was not induced by HIF-1α stabilisation in normoxia by cobalt chloride nor reversed by the suppression of HIF-1α in hypoxia by shRNAi, siRNA, dominant negative HIF or inhibition with the small molecule NSC-134754, strongly suggesting that hypoxia-induced drug resistance in osteosarcoma cells is independent of HIF-1α.
