Josey Abstract More than 90% of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) expression of HIF2a-dependent genes, including VEGF-A, exhibit inactivation of the von Hippel–Lindau (pVHL) tumor PAI-1, and cyclin D1 in ccRCC cell lines and tumor xenografts. suppressor, establishing it as the major underlying cause of this Treatment of tumor-bearing mice with PT2385 caused dramatic malignancy. pVHL inactivation results in stabilization of the tumor regressions, validating HIF2a as a pivotal oncogenic hypoxia-inducible transcription factors, HIF1a and HIF2a, driver in ccRCC. Notably, unlike other anticancer agents that leading to expression of a genetic program essential for the inhibit VEGF receptor signaling, PT2385 exhibited no adverse initiation and progression of ccRCC. Herein, we describe the effect on cardiovascular performance. Thus, PT2385 represents potent, selective, and orally active small-molecule inhibitor a novel class of therapeutics for the treatment of RCC with PT2385 as a specificantagonistofHIF2a that allosterically potent preclincal efficacy as well as improved tolerability rel- blocks its dimerization with the HIF1a/2a transcriptional ative to current agents that target the VEGF pathway.

    PRODUCT INFORMATION Product name:HIF3A antibody Product type: Primary antibodies Description: Rabbit polyclonal to HIF3A Immunogen:3 synthetic peptides (human) conjugated to KLH Reacts with: Human, Mouse Tested applications: ELISA, WB & IF GENE INFORMATION Gene Symbol:HIF3A Gene Name:hypoxia inducible factor 3, alpha subunit Ensembl ID:ENSG00000124440 Entrez GeneID:64344 GenBank Accession number:AK027725 Omim ID:609976 Swiss­Prot:Q9Y2N7 Molecular weight of HIF3A: 72.4kDa Function:Involved in adaptive response to hypoxia. Suppresses hypoxia­inducible expression of HIF1A and EPAS1. Binds to core DNA sequence 5'­TACGTG­3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters. The complex HIF3A­ARNT activates the transcription of reporter genes driven by HRE. Isoform 4 has a dominant­ negative function of inactivating HIF1A­mediated transcription. Isoform 4 attenuates the binding of HIF1A to hypoxia­responsive elements (HRE), thus inhibiting HRE­driven transcription. Hypoxia induces down­regulation of isoform 4, leading to activation of HIF1A in hypoxia. Conversely, upon restoring normoxia, the expression of isoform 4 increases and thereby secure an inhibition of HIF1A activity. Isoform 4 may be a negative regulator of hypoxia­inducible gene expression in the kidney and may be involved in renal tumorigenesis. Functions as an inhibitor of angiogenesis in the cornea Expected subcellular localization:Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: In the nuclei of all periportal and perivenous hepatocytes. In the distal perivenous zone, detected in the cytoplasm of the hepatocytes Summary:The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha­3 subunit of one of several alpha/beta­subunit heterodimeric transcription factors that regulate many adaptive responses to low oxygen tension (hypoxia).

  • Metabolic Profiling of Cancer Cells Reveals Genome-Wide
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09695-9 OPEN Metabolic profiling of cancer cells reveals genome- wide crosstalk between transcriptional regulators and metabolism Karin Ortmayr 1, Sébastien Dubuis1 & Mattia Zampieri 1 Transcriptional reprogramming of cellular metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. However, systematic approaches to study the role of transcriptional regulators (TRs) in mediating 1234567890():,; cancer metabolic rewiring are missing. Here, we chart a genome-scale map of TR-metabolite associations in human cells using a combined computational-experimental framework for large-scale metabolic profiling of adherent cell lines. By integrating intracellular metabolic profiles of 54 cancer cell lines with transcriptomic and proteomic data, we unraveled a large space of associations between TRs and metabolic pathways. We found a global regulatory signature coordinating glucose- and one-carbon metabolism, suggesting that regulation of carbon metabolism in cancer may be more diverse and flexible than previously appreciated. Here, we demonstrate how this TR-metabolite map can serve as a resource to predict TRs potentially responsible for metabolic transformation in patient-derived tumor samples, opening new opportunities in understanding disease etiology, selecting therapeutic treat- ments and in designing modulators of cancer-related TRs. 1 Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Otto-Stern-Weg 3, CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland.

  • Micro-Rnas Dependent Regulation of DNMT and Hif1α Gene Expression
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN micro-RNAs dependent regulation of DNMT and HIF1α gene expression in thrombotic disorders Received: 3 August 2018 Aatira Vijay1, Prabhash Kumar Jha1, Iti Garg1, Manish Sharma1, Mohammad Zahid Ashraf1,2 & Accepted: 21 November 2018 Bhuvnesh Kumar1 Published: xx xx xxxx MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes and post-transcriptionally regulate several mechanism and diseases. However, contribution of miRNAs functioning during hypoxia and DNA methylation together is less understood. The current study was aimed to fnd a shared miRNAs signature upstream to hypoxia (via HIF gene family members) and methylation (via DNMT gene family members). This was followed by the global validation of the hypoxia related miRNA signature using miRNA microarray meta-analysis of the hypoxia induced human samples. We further concluded the study by looking into thrombosis related terms and pathways enriched during protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis of these two sets of gene family. Network prioritization of these shared miRNAs reveals miR-129, miR-19band miR-23b as top regulatory miRNAs. A comprehensive meta-analysis of microarray datasets of hypoxia samples revealed 29 diferentially expressed miRNAs. GSEA of the interacting genes in the DNMT-HIF PPI network indicated thrombosis associated pathways including “Hemostasis”, “TPO signaling pathway” and “angiogenesis”. Interestingly, the study has generated a novel database of candidate miRNA signatures shared between hypoxia and methylation, and their relation to thrombotic pathways, which might aid in the development of potential therapeutic biomarkers. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most fatal cardiovascular complication. Around one in every three patients with VTE, develops pulmonary embolism (PE)-a condition in which thrombus drifs through the blood fow and gets lodged into the lungs; two in every three patients manifest deep vein thrombosis (DVT)1.

    Content Based Search in Gene Expression Databases and a Meta-analysis of Host Responses to Infection A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Francis X. Bell in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 c Copyright 2015 Francis X. Bell. All Rights Reserved. ii Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge and thank my advisor, Dr. Ahmet Sacan. Without his advice, support, and patience I would not have been able to accomplish all that I have. I would also like to thank my committee members and the Biomed Faculty that have guided me. I would like to give a special thanks for the members of the bioinformatics lab, in particular the members of the Sacan lab: Rehman Qureshi, Daisy Heng Yang, April Chunyu Zhao, and Yiqian Zhou. Thank you for creating a pleasant and friendly environment in the lab. I give the members of my family my sincerest gratitude for all that they have done for me. I cannot begin to repay my parents for their sacrifices. I am eternally grateful for everything they have done. The support of my sisters and their encouragement gave me the strength to persevere to the end. iii Table of Contents LIST OF TABLES.......................................................................... vii LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................ xiv ABSTRACT ................................................................................ xvii 1.
