Expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and its relationship to tumour angiogenesis and cell proliferation in cartilage tumours

Abstract: We investigated the use of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) proteins as prognostic markers in chondrosarcoma and the relationship of HIF to the biological characteristics of cartilage tumours. The expression of HIF-1alpha, HIF-2alpha, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and microvessel density (MVD) were measured immunohistochemically in 29 specimens of cartilage tumour. There was no HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha staining in any of the nine benign cartilage tumours. In 20 specimens of chondrosarcoma, the rate … Show more

“…MRP functions as a transporter of GSH-X complexes and mediates the accumulation and excretion of drugs in cytoplasmic vesicles (4). HIF-1α plays essential roles in the regulation of MDR1 and MRP, and may be induced in the hypoxic microenvironment of cancers (9). In the present study, we found that hypoxia increased the resistance of A549/CDDP cells to cisplatin and increased the expression of HIF-1α, MDR1 and MRP.…”

“…Recently, Thienpont and colleagues reported that tumour hypoxia causes DNA hypermethylation and loss of 5hmC by reducing TET activity [57]. Interestingly, cartilage tissue and chondrosarcomas are known to have a hypoxic microenvironment [58, 59]; [60]; [61]. They also demonstrated a large overlap between genes hypermethylated in hypoxic versus IDH1 mutant glioblastomas [57].…”

“…As the cell type directly in contact with the blood, endothelial cells must adapt to changing conditions within the blood vessels and synthesize regulators of leukocyte and vascular smooth muscle cell behavior. Medical conditions, such as atherosclerosis, varicose veins, pulmonary hypertension, and tumor angiogenesis, may induce vascular hypoxia (Eyries et al, 2008;Han et al, 2008;Kubo et al, 2008;Osada-Oka et al, 2008a;Rankin et al, 2008), and the molecular aspects of hypoxia have been studied in order to explain the pathology underlying these diseases; however, many questions remain.…”
