Drug resistance is a major obstacle in the development of effective cancer therapy. It was reported that many chemotherapeutic drugs such as vincristine (VCR), a potent anti-tumor agent that associates with microtubules and disrupts the microtubular system, was found in acquisition of drug-resistance associated with an increase of HIF-1 expression via activating the NF-gammaB signal pathway. However, the multifactorial mechanism responsible for VCR increased HIF-1alpha expression remains to be fully elucidated. MGr1-Ag was previously reported by our laboratory as an upregulated protein in VCR-resistant cell lines SGC7901/VCR. In our study, detection of HIF-1 expression in SGC7901 cells and SGC7901/VCR cell or VCR-treated SGC7901cells showed that VCR could induce a significant expression of HIF-1alpha and VCR-resistant SGC7901/VCR cells had much higher expression of HIF-1alpha. Under nonhypoxic condition, VCR could enhance DNA binding activity and transcriptional activity of HIF-1alpha by 5.42- and 9.42-fold, respectively. Further study showed that forced expression of MGr1-Ag/37LRP upregulated HIF-1alpha protein expression and transcriptional activity in gastric cancer cell under nonhypoxic condition whereas siRNA targeting MGr1-Ag showed a markedly decreased VCR-induced HIF-1alpha expression and transcriptional activity (P < 0.05). SiRNA targeting FAK or inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and MAPK could inhibit VCR-induced HIF-1alpha expression, suggesting FAK-PI3K and p42/44MAPK (Erk1/2) may be the major signaling molecules in MGr1-Ag/37LRP-induced HIF-1alpha expression and activity. These data support a model in which MGr1-Ag was a focal point for the convergence of VCR-mediated signaling events leading to HIF-1Alpha induction, thus revealing a novel aspect of HIF-1alpha regulation.
