Reversing Hypoxic Cell Chemoresistance in Vitro Using Genetic and Small Molecule Approaches Targeting Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1
Abstract
The resistance of hypoxic cells to conventional chemotherapy is well documented. Using both adenovirus-mediated gene delivery and small molecules targeting hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), we evaluated the impact of HIF-1 inhibition on the sensitivity of hypoxic tumor cells to etoposide. The genetic therapy exploited a truncated HIF-1alpha protein that acts as a dominant-negative HIF-1alpha (HIF-1alpha-no-TAD). Its functionality was validated in six human tumor cell lines using HIF-1 reporter assays. An EGFP-fused protein demonstrated that the dominant-negative HIF-1alpha was nucleus-localized and constitutively expressed irrespective of oxygen tension. The small molecules studied were quinocarmycin monocitrate (KW2152), its analog 7-cyanoquinocarcinol (DX-52-1), and topotecan. DX-52-1 and topotecan have been previously established as HIF-1 inhibitors. HT1080 and HCT116 cells were treated with either AdHIF-1alpha-no-TAD or nontoxic concentrations (0.1 microM; <IC(10)) of KW2152 and DX-52-1 and exposed to etoposide in air or anoxia (<0.01% oxygen). Topotecan inhibited HIF-1 activity only at cytotoxic concentrations and was not used in the combination study. Etoposide IC(50) values in anoxia were 3-fold higher than those in air for HT1080 (2.2 +/- 0.3 versus 0.7 +/- 0.2 microM) and HCT116 (9 +/- 4 versus 3 +/- 2 microM) cells. KW2152 and DX-52-1 significantly reduced the anoxic etoposide IC(50) in HT1080 cells, whereas only KW2152 yielded sensitization in HCT116 cells. In co…

“Taken together, these data on the role of HIFs in therapeutic resistance suggest that HIF1/2 inhibitors might be effective in combination with conventional chemotherapy (Unruh et al., 2003;Erler et al., 2004;Brown et al., 2006;Nardinocchi et al., 2009;Roberts et al., 2009;He et al., 2012;Zhao et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
