In this study, we assessed the effects of in vivo hypoxia on the expression of Tie-2 receptors and angiopoietins in various organs of conscious rats and correlated these effects with the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). RT-PCR and Southern blotting were used to amplify mRNA expression of angiopoietin-1, -2, and -3, Tie-2, and HIF-1α in tissues of normoxic and hypoxic (fraction of inspired oxygen of 9–10% for either 12 or 48 h) rats. Hypoxia provoked a decline in angiopoietin-1 mRNA and Tie-2 mRNA, protein, and phosphorylation levels in the lung, liver, cerebellum, and heart but not in the kidney and diaphragm. In comparison, hypoxia raised the levels of angiopoietin-2 mRNA in the cerebellum and angiopoietin-3 mRNA in the lung, kidney, and diaphragm. HIF-1α mRNA was abundant in most organs of normoxic rats but was significantly induced in the kidney and diaphragm of hypoxic rats. We conclude that in vivo hypoxia exerts inhibitory effects on the activity of the angiopoietin-1/Tie-2 receptor pathway through reduction of angiopoietin-1 and upregulation of angiopoietin-2 and -3. Induction of angiopoietin-3 in the kidney and diaphragm of hypoxic rats could be mediated through the HIF-1 transcription factor.

Abstract As the follicle develops, the thickening of the granulosa compartment leads to progressively deficient supply of oxygen in granulosa cells (GCs) due to the growing distances from the follicular vessels. These conditions are believed to cause hypoxia in GCs during folliculogenesis. Upon hypoxic conditions, several types of mammalian cells have been reported to undergo cell cycle arrest. However, it remains unclear whether hypoxia exerts any impact on cell cycle progression of GCs. On the other hand, although the GCs may live in a hypoxic environment, their mitotic capability appears to be unaffected in growing follicles. It thus raises the question whether there are certain intraovarian factors that might overcome the inhibitory effects of hypoxia. The present study provides the first evidence suggesting that cobalt chloride (CoCl2)-mimicked hypoxia prevented G1-to-S cell cycle progression in porcine GCs. In addition, we demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of CoCl2 on GCs cell cycle are mediated through hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha/FOXO1/Cdkn1b pathway. Moreover, we identified insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) as an intrafollicular factor required for cell cycle recovery by binding to IGF-I receptor in GCs suffering CoCl2 stimulation. Further investigations confirmed a role of IGF-I in preserving G1/S progression of CoCl2-treated GCs via activating the cyclin E/cyclin-dependent kinase2 complex through the phoshatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (AKT)/FOXO1/Cdkn1b axis. Although the present findings were based on a hypoxia mimicking model by using CoCl2, our study might shed new light on the regulatory mechanism of GCs cell cycle upon hypoxic stimulation.

AbstractOne of the characteristics of cancer is that the lack of oxygen in the cancer cells triggers changes in their gene expression. This hypoxia activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha and this in turn sets in motion the whole family of important angiogenic genes for the tumour. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha therefore increases the density and vascular permeability within the tumours, facilitating their rapid growth and, later, the metastasis. Senecio graveolens is a South American medicinal plant commonly used for mountain sickness (lack of adaptation of the organism to hypoxia). Additionally, pharmacological studies showed that its alcoholic extracts have cytotoxic properties.This research aimed to perform a guided phytochemical study of S. graveolens to identify compounds capable of inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha through suppression of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell activation. The isolation led to the characterisation of phanurane (1), damsine (2), and scoparone (3), first reported in the S. graveolens species.Phanurane (1 ) showed inhibitory activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha on the cancer cell lines U-373 MG (IC50=20.66±0.04 μM), A549 (IC50=25.80±0.04 μM), Hep G2 (IC50=29.21±0.03 μM), and Caco-2 (IC50=38.58±0.02 μM). Damsine (2) hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha displayed inhibitory activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha on the cancer cell lines U-373 MG (IC50=2.29±0.07 μM), A549 (IC50=4.13±0.04 μM), Hep G2 (IC50=6.40±0.03 μM), and Caco-2 (IC50=9.80±0.04 μM). Finally, scoparone (3) displayed inhibitory activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha on the cancer cell lines U-373 MG (IC50=15.22±0.01 μM), A549 (IC50=17.47±0.02 μM), Hep G2 (IC50=18.26±0.06 μM), and Caco-2 (IC50=19.75±0.04 μM).In addition, phanurane (1 ) displayed inhibitory activity over nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells on cancer cell lines U-373 MG (IC50=7.13±0.03 μM), A549 (IC50=8.64±0.03 μM), Hep G2 (IC50=8.87±0.04 μM), and Caco-2 (IC50=15.11±0.01 μM). Likewise, damsine (2) showed inhibitory activity over nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells on cancer cell lines U-373 MG (IC50=2.28±0.01 μM), A549 (IC50=3.79±0.02 μM), Hep G2 (IC50=3.98±0.05 μM), and Caco-2 (IC50=6.41±0.02 μM). Lastly, scoparone (3) displayed inhibitory activity of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells on cancer cell lines U-373 MG (IC50=3.62±0.06 μM), A549 (IC50=4.48±0.03 μM), Hep G2 (IC50=5.25±0.01 μM), and Caco-2 (IC50=11.90±0.02 μM).This study corroborates the cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds through the inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha as well as its modulator nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells.

Several molecular and cellular adaptive mechanisms to hypoxia exist within the vasculature. Many of these processes involve oxygen sensing which is transduced into mediators of vasoconstriction in the pulmonary circulation and vasodilation in the systemic circulation. A variety of oxygen-responsive pathways, such as HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor)-1 and HOs (haem oxygenases), contribute to the overall adaptive process during hypoxia and are currently an area of intense research. Generation of ROS (reactive oxygen species) may also differentially regulate vascular tone in these circulations. Potential candidates underlying the divergent responses between the systemic and pulmonary circulations may include Nox (NADPH oxidase)-derived ROS and mitochondrial-derived ROS. In addition to alterations in ROS production governing vascular tone in the hypoxic setting, other vascular adaptations are likely to be involved. HPV (hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction) and CH (chronic hypoxia)-induced alterations in cellular proliferation, ionic conductances and changes in the contractile apparatus sensitivity to calcium, all occur as adaptive processes within the vasculature.

Abstract. The goals of this study were to determine and evaluate the bioaccessibility of total anthocyanin and procyanidin in apple (Amasya, Malus communis), red grape (Papazkarası, Vitis vinifera) and cinnamon (Cassia, Cinnamomum) using an in vitro static digestion system based on human gastrointestinal physiologically relevant conditions. Also, in vitro inhibitory effects of these foods on lipid (lipase) and carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) were performed with before and after digested samples using acarbose and methylumbelliferyl oleate (4MUO) as the positive control. While the highest total anthocyanin content was found in red grape (164 ± 2.51 mg/100 g), the highest procyanidin content was found in cinnamon (6432 ± 177.31 mg/100 g) (p < 0.05). The anthocyanin bioaccessibilities were found as 10.2 ± 1%, 8.23 ± 0.64%, and 8.73 ± 0.70% in apple, red grape, and cinnamon, respectively. The procyanidin bioaccessibilities of apple, red grape, and cinnamon were found as 17.57 ± 0.71%, 14.08 ± 0.74% and 18.75 ± 1.49%, respectively. The analyzed apple, red grape and cinnamon showed the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 544 ± 21.94, 445 ± 15.67, 1592 ± 17.58 μg/mL, respectively), α-amylase (IC50 38.4 ± 7.26, 56.1 ± 3.60, 3.54 ± 0.86 μg/mL, respectively), and lipase (IC50 52.7 ± 2.05, 581 ± 54.14, 49.6 ± 2.72 μg/mL), respectively. According to our results apple, red grape and cinnamon have potential to inhibit of lipase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase digestive enzymes.
