HIF-1 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, which promoted cell proliferation, clone formation, migration, invasion and inhibited cell apoptosis.
According to these findings, miR-33b plays a suppressive role in the regulation of osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration via directly targeting HIF-1α.
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.
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.
Heparanase participates in the growth and invasion of human U-2OS osteosarcoma cells and its close relationship with hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in osteosarcoma.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On the other hand, depletion of PRKAR2B, ADCK2, TRPM7, and TRIB2 significantly decreases the effect of TNFα on HIF-1α stability in osteosarcoma and prostate cancer cell lines.
