Restoration of the prolyl-hydroxylase domain protein-3 oxygen-sensing mechanism is responsible for regulation of HIF2α expression and induction of sensitivity of myeloma cells to hypoxia-mediated apoptosis
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease of malignant plasma B-cells that infiltrate the bone marrow (BM), resulting in bone destruction, anemia, renal impairment and infections. Physiologically, the BM microenvironment is hypoxic and this promotes MM progression and contributes to resistance to chemotherapy. Since aberrant hypoxic responses may result in the selection of more aggressive t...
متن کاملExosomal miR-135b shed from hypoxic multiple myeloma cells enhances angiogenesis by targeting factor-inhibiting HIF-1.
Exosomes are small endosome-derived vesicles containing a wide range of functional proteins, mRNA, and miRNA. Exosomal miRNA from cancer cells helps modulate the microenvironment. In multiple myeloma (MM), the massive proliferation of malignant plasma cells causes hypoxia. To date, the majority of in vitro hypoxia studies of cancer cells have used acute hypoxic exposure (3-24 hours). Thus, we a...
متن کاملA DNA-binding Molecule Targeting the Adaptive Hypoxic Response in Multiple Myeloma Has Potent Antitumor Activity.
UNLABELLED Multiple myeloma is incurable and invariably becomes resistant to chemotherapy. Although the mechanisms remain unclear, hypoxic conditions in the bone marrow have been implicated in contributing to multiple myeloma progression, angiogenesis, and resistance to chemotherapy. These effects occur via adaptive cellular responses mediated by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF), a...
متن کاملInhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 function enhances the sensitivity of multiple myeloma cells to melphalan.
Abnormal activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), one of the most important transcription factors for the adaptation of cells to hypoxia, is frequently observed in numerous types of solid tumors. Dysregulation of HIF-1 induces tumor angiogenesis and enhances the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins and glycolysis-associated enzymes in cancer cells, which in turn leads to the promotion...
متن کاملHypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha as a therapeutic target in multiple myeloma
The increasing importance of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in tumorigenesis raises the possibility that agents which specifically inhibit this transcription factor, would provide significant therapeutic benefit. The constitutive expression of HIF-1α in about 35% of Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients suggests HIF-1α suppression might be part of a therapeutic strategy. Accordingly, we explored...
