Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth and angiogenesis, yet the mechanisms behind these actions remain to be characterized. In this study, we examined the effects of PPARα activation on the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) signaling pathway in human breast (MCF-7) and ovarian (A2780) cancer cells under hypoxia. Incubation of cancer cells under 1% oxygen for 16 h significantly induced HIF-1α expression and activity as assayed by Western blotting and reporter gene analysis. Treatment of the cells with PPARα agonists, but not a PPARγ agonist, prior to hypoxia diminished hypoxia-induced HIF-1α expression and activity, and addition of a PPARα antagonist attenuated the suppression of HIF-1α signaling. Activation of PPARα attenuated hypoxia-induced HA-tagged HIF-1α protein expression without affecting the HA-tagged HIF-1α mutant protein level, indicating that PPARα activation promotes HIF-1α degradation in these cells. This was further confirmed using proteasome inhibitors, which reversed PPARα-mediated suppression of HIF-1α expression under hypoxia. Using the co-immunoprecipitation technique, we found that activation of PPARα enhances the binding of HIF-1α to von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (pVHL), a protein known to mediate HIF-1α degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Following PPARα-mediated suppression of HIF-1α signaling, VEGF secretion from the cancer cells was significantly reduced, and tube formation by endothelial cells was dramatically impaired. Taken together, these findings demonstrate for the first time that activation of PPARα suppresses hypoxia-induced HIF-1α signaling in cancer cells, providing novel insight into the anticancer properties of PPARα agonists.

AbstractAccelerated dental pulp mineralization is a common complication in avulsed/luxated teeth, although the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. We hypothesized that hypoxia due to vascular severance may induce osteo/odontoblast differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). This study examined the role of B-cell CLL/lymphoma 9 (BCL9), which is downstream of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) and a Wnt/β-catenin transcriptional cofactor, in the osteo/odontoblastic differentiation of human DPSCs (hDPSCs) under hypoxic conditions. hDPSCs were isolated from extracted healthy wisdom teeth. Hypoxic conditions and HIF1α overexpression induced significant upregulation of mRNAs for osteo/odontoblast markers (RUNX2, ALP, OC), BCL9, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling target genes (AXIN2, TCF1) in hDPSCs. Overexpression and suppression of BCL9 in hDPSCs up- and downregulated, respectively, the mRNAs for AXIN2, TCF1, and the osteo/odontoblast markers. Hypoxic-cultured mouse pulp tissue explants showed the promotion of HIF1α, BCL9, and β-catenin expression and BCL9-β-catenin co-localization. In addition, BCL9 formed a complex with β-catenin in hDPSCs in vitro. This study demonstrated that hypoxia/HIF1α-induced osteo/odontoblast differentiation of hDPSCs was partially dependent on Wnt/β-catenin signaling, where BCL9 acted as a key mediator between HIF1α and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. These findings may reveal part of the mechanisms of dental pulp mineralization after traumatic dental injury.
