HIF inhibitors could be tentatively divided in agents that modulate:
(1) HIF-1 mRNA expression,
(2) HIF-1 protein translation,
(3) HIF-1 protein degradation,
(4) HIF-1 nuclear translocation
(5) HIF-1 dimerization and DNA binding
(6) HIF-1 transcriptional activity.
Possible targets on Hypoxia signaling..
A. What is HIF-1?
The studies of hypoxia response element of the erythropoietin gene leads to the discovery of HIF-1 by Semenza and Wang in 1992. Semenza GL & Wang GL. (1992). Mol. Cell. Biol. 12: 5447-5454.
HIF-1: Hypoxia Inducible Factor - 1
HIF-1 is a protein with DNA binding activity. It is composed of two subunits: HIF-1 and HIF-1.
Proline residue 402 & 564 in HIF-1 can be hydroxylated by prolyl hydroxylase.
The hydroxylation of proline causes the binding of von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL).
The binding of VHL leads to the ubiquitinylation of HIF-1.
Ubiquitinylation of HIF-1 results in degradation by proteasome. Bruick RK. (2002) Science. 295:807-808.
HIF-1 is constitutively made and degraded via VHL.
Prolyl hydroxylase is O2-dependent The activation of prolyl hydroxylase depends on
several co-factors such as O2, Fe2+, 2-OG, -ketoglutarate and ascorbate.
Under hypoxia, prolyl hydroxylase cannot be activated. Thus,
HIF-1 accumulates and translocates into nucleus. In the nucleus, it binds to HIF-1 forming HIF-1. HIF-1 binds to co-activators CBP/p300 and is then activated.
