Studies into the receptor-mediated induction of hypoxia inducible factor 1α.
The transcription factor Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) is pivotal to the cellular response upon exposure to low oxygen stress (hypoxia). Post-translational modification of the HIF a-subunit (HIFa) by hydroxylase enzymes has recently been identified as the key 'oxygen sensing' mechanism within the …

Inhibition of Breast Cancer Angiogenesis and Metastasis ay Targeting Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α
… contain regions of reduced oxygen availability. Hypoxia has been identified as a major negative prognostic factor for tumor progression and resistance to anti-cancer therapies. Hypoxia promotes cell proliferation, immortalization, genetic instability, and induces cells to switch their methods of …

Regulation of HIF-1α during Hypoxia by DAP5-Induced Translation of PHD2
… initiation scaffold eukaryotic initiation factors 4GI and II (eIF4GI/II), which recruit mRNAs to ribosomes in mammals. Unlike eIF4GI/II, DAP5 binds eIF2β, a subunit of the eIF2 complex that delivers methionyl-tRNA to ribosomes. Despite extensive work describing eIF4GI, an understanding of …

Dichloroacetate, a inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-1, attenuates hypoxia-induced resistance to 5-fluorouracil in gastric cancer cells
… I investigated whether gastric cancer with hypoxia-induced resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) could be re-sensitized following treatment with low-dose dichloroacetate (DCA), an inhibitor of the glycolytic pathway. The expression profile of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and pyruvate …

HIF-1alpha role in oxygen-dependent radio- and chemosensitivity
Poor oxygenation (hypoxia) is a common characteristic of human solid tumours, and is associated with cell survival, metastasis and resistance to radio- and chemotherapies. Hypoxia-induced stabilisation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) leads to changes in expression of various genes …

Μελέτη των μοριακών μηχανισμών ανάπτυξης του οφθαλμικού πτερυγίου στον άνθρωπο : ο ρόλος του μεταγραφικού παράγοντα HIF-1α, της πρωτεΐνης pVHL και των πρωτεΐνών θερμικού σοκ
… αύξηση της έκφρασης του μεταγραφικού παράγοντα Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), ο οποίος είναι γνωστό ότι παίζει κρίσιμο ρόλο στη ρύθμιση του μεταβολισμού των κυττάρων καθώς και στην επιβίωση των αρχέγονων κυττάρων (stem cells). Σε φυσιολογικές συνθήκες οξυγόνου η πρωτεΐνη von Hippel Lindau …

Effects of Hyperoxia on Thermal Tolerance and Indicators of Hypoxic Stress in Antarctic Fishes That Differ in Expression of Oxygen-Binding Proteins
… rises, correlates of oxygen limitation (hypoxia inducible factor-1α and lactate) would increase to a greater extent in icefishes compared to red-blooded fishes and that this increase would be minimized under hyperoxic conditions. I sampled <i>Chaenocephalus aceratus</i> (Hb-) and …

Investigating new roles of the ubiquitin proteasome system in cell death and innate immune signalling
… of TLR signalling pathways in the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), a critical target of the ubiquitin/proteasome system. Interestingly, these studies revealed that some of the TLRs promote a faster migration form of HIF-1α of approximately 40kDa. The upregulation of the latter …

Environmental signals that control T lymphocytes in the gastrointestinal tract
… the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) and also the Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α). Both the AHR and HIF-1α are key sensors of the microenvironment. Dietary tryptophan metabolites and microbiota catabolites are AHR ligands and HIF-1α is a sensor of low oxygen tension. Deletion of the AHR …

Resveratrol slows cell growth by targeting the Warburg effect and stimulating mitochondria metabolism
… by growing cells in galactose or stabilizing hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression, RES effects on growth and metabolism were attenuated or even abolished. Furthermore, consistent with RES ability to reduce HIF-1α levels, I observed that RES’s cell growth inhibitory effects were …

Insulin-like growth factor 1 effects on mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in cancer
The evolutionarily conserved Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) signalling pathway is essential for growth and development and may facilitate cancer progression. While IGF-1 mediates mitochondria protection in some pathologies, whether it is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis in tumour cells …
