Hypoxia-inducible factors enhance glutamate signaling in cancer cells
Signaling through glutamate receptors has been reported in human cancers, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully delineated. We report that in hepatocellular carcinoma and clear cell renal carcinoma cells, increased activity of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) due to hypoxia or VHL loss-of-function, respectively, augmented release of glutamate, which was mediated by HIF-dependent expression...
متن کاملHypoxia-Inducible Factors, Stem Cells, and Cancer
Regions of severe oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) arise in tumors due to rapid cell division and aberrant blood vessel formation. The hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) mediate transcriptional responses to localized hypoxia in normal tissues and in cancers and can promote tumor progression by altering cellular metabolism and stimulating angiogenesis. Recently, HIFs have been shown to activate specif...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible factors in stem cells and cancer
Cellular properties are influenced by complex factors inherent to their microenvironments. While oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) occurs in tumours because of rapid cell proliferation and aberrant blood vessel formation, embryonic cells develop in a naturally occurring hypoxic environment. Cells respond to hypoxia by stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which are traditionally viewed to fu...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible factors mediate coordinated RhoA-ROCK1 expression and signaling in breast cancer cells.
Overexpression of Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) and the G protein RhoA is implicated in breast cancer progression, but oncogenic mutations are rare, and the molecular mechanisms that underlie increased ROCK1 and RhoA expression have not been determined. RhoA-bound ROCK1 phosphorylates myosin light chain (MLC), which is required for actin-myosin contractility. RhoA also activates focal adhesion kinase (F...
متن کاملHypoxia-Inducible Factor in Cancer Cells
During chemical hypoxia induced by cobalt chloride (CoCl2), hypoxia-inducible factor 1A (HIF1-A) mediates the induction of a variety of genes including erythropoietin and vascular endothelial growth factor. We used glioma cells with oxidative phosphorylation–dependent (D54-MG) and glycolytic-dependent (U251-MG) phenotypes to monitor HIF1-A regulation in association with redox responsiveness to ...
