Effects of ras and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) Gene Mutations on Hypoxia-inducible Factor (HIF)-1{alpha}, HIF-2{alpha}, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression and Their Regulation by the Phosphatidylinositol 3'-Kinase/Akt Signaling Pathway1

Many oncogenes induce expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key factor in tumor angiogenesis. Phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K)/Akt is a common signaling pathway for oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and is involved in VEGF regulation. Because hypoxia is a major stimulus for VEGF production, we examined the effects of LY294002, a selective PI3K inhibitor, on hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1{alpha} and HIF-2{alpha} expression and on endogenous VEGF responses to hypoxia. A panel of breast cancer cell lines reflecting the different genetic changes occurring in human breast cancer was analyzed. LY294002 inhibited HIF-1{alpha} induction and phosphorylation under hypoxia. However, HIF-2{alpha} expression was not affected. Basal and hypoxia-inducible VEGF expression was reduced at both mRNA and protein levels by 50%. V12-ras overexpression resulted in an increase in hypoxia-induced HIF-1{alpha} and HIF-2{alpha} expression. This effect was blocked by PI3K inhibitor, demonstrating one mechanism for ras synergy with hypoxia-mediated induction of genes. The decreased HIF-1{alpha} expression was not dependent on VHL interaction because a renal carcinoma cell line with VHL mutation and constitutive high HIF-1{alpha} expression also showed down-regulation of HIF-1{alpha} after treatment with LY294002. These results have implications for the use of PI3K inhibitors to inhibit synergistic effects of hypoxia with a wide range of common oncogenes.
