PG - 2787-98 LID - 10.1002/ijc.27982 [doi] AB - The prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain 1-3 (PHD1-3) enzymes are regulating the protein stability of the alpha-subunit of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which mediates oxygen-dependent gene expression. PHD2 is the main isoform regulating HIF-1alpha hydroxylation and thus stability in normoxia. In human cancers, HIF-1alpha is overexpressed as a result of intratumoral hypoxia which in turn promotes tumor progression. The role of PHD2 for tumor progression is in contrast far from being thoroughly understood. Therefore, we established PHD2 knockdown clones of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and analyzed their tumor-forming potential in a SCID mouse model. Tumor progression was significantly impaired in the PHD2 knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells, which could be partially rescued by re-establishing PHD2 expression. In a RNA profile screen, we identified the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as one target, which is differentially regulated as a consequence of the PHD2 knockdown. Knockdown of PHD2 drastically reduced the SPP1 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells. A correlation of SPP1 and PHD2 expression was additionally verified in 294 invasive breast cancer biopsies. In subsequent analyses, we identified that PHD2 alters the processing of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, which is highly involved in SPP1 expression. The altered processing capacity was associated with a dislocation of the pro-protein convertase furin. Thus, our data demonstrate that in MDA-MB-231 cells PHD2 might affect tumor-relevant TGF-beta1 target gene expression by altering the TGF-beta1 processing capacity. CI - Copyright (c) 2012 UICC.
