PG - 459-69 AB - Hypoxia is a common environmental stress that influences signaling pathways and cells function, which through initiating intracellular signaling pathways and hence leading to the activation of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). In this study, we initially confirm that hypoxia activates HIF-1alpha protein expression in a time-dependent manner with a maximum reached at 60 min in vitro and 4h in vivo in gastric mucosa epithelial cells. The expression of HIF-1alpha is correlated with the activation of HIF-1 DNA binding and transcriptional activity. Hypoxia dose not affect HIF-1alpha mRNA transcription but regulates HIF-1alpha protein expression through a translation-dependent pathway to regulate protein synthesis. Hypoxia could induce phosphorylation of Akt, MAPK (ERK), and target of p70S6K1. PI3K and MAPK inhibitor, LY294002 and U0126 could inhibit hypoxia-induced HIF-1 and VEGF expression. We also investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in HIF-1 and VEGF expression Exogenous addition of H2O2 was sufficient to activate Akt and ERK, scavengers of H2O2 significantly inhibited hypoxia-induced Akt and ERK, and subsequent HIF-lax expression and transcriptional activity. In conclusion, our data suggested that hypoxia- PI3K signaling through Akt and ERK kinases regulated ROS-dependent, hypoxia- induced HIF-1 activation and VEGF expression in gastric mucosa epithelial cells.
