Regulation of HIF protein levels via deubiquitination pathway

The hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) transcription factor is an important regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia. The activity of HIF-1 is regulated by the level of the HIF-1α subunit, HIF-1α, which is rapidly degraded under normoxic conditions by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. HIF-1α levels increase under hypoxic conditions. Many human cancers also show constitutively increased HIF-1α levels. PX-478 or S-2-amino-3-[4′-N,N,-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl propionic acid N-oxide dihydrochloride, is a novel anticancer agent, and is capably of decreasing both constitutive and hypoxia induced HIF-1α protein levels and HIF-1 transactivation in vitro and in vivo. In method embodiments, the administration of PX-478 is independent of the pathways of HIF-1α regulation involving the von Hippel-Lindau protein and p53. PX-478 causes an increase in polyubiquitinated HIF-1α levels due to inhibition of HIF-1α deubiquitination. The levels of other proteins whose proteasomal breakdown is mediated by ubiquitination are not affected by PX-478. Deubiquitination is a novel pathway for the regulation of cellular HIF-1α levels and PX-478 is a specific inhibitor of the pathway. Therapeutic compounds for regulating cellular HIF-1α levels and methods of regulating cellular HIF-1α levels are herein provided.
