A better understanding of the mechanism of NDUFA4L2 in NSCLC survival in hypoxic environments is essential to design new therapeutic methods.Abstract:
Background Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for a significant proportion of cancer-related deaths and lacks an effective treatment strategy. NSCLC tissues are generally found in a low oxygen environment. The NDUFA4L2 protein, located in the mitochondria, is encoded by the nucleus genome and is considered a crucial mediator that regulates cell survival. A better understanding of the mechanism of NDUFA4L2 in NSCLC survival in hypoxic environments is essential to design new therapeutic methods. Methods Twenty NSCLC and corresponding paired non-tumorous lung tissue samples were collected. NSCLC cell lines were cultured in hypoxic conditions to investigate the mechanism of NDUFA4L2 in NSCLC. The role of NDUFA4L2 was confirmed by using Western blotting, reactive oxygen species measurement, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence analysis, and wound healing and colony formation assays. Results The expression of HIF-1α and mitochondrial NDUFA4L2 increased in NSCLC cell lines cultured in hypoxic conditions (1% O2 ). NDUFA4L2 was drastically overexpressed in human NSCLC tissues and cell lines cultured in hypoxic conditions. HIF-1α regulated the expression of NDUFA4L2. Knockdown of NDUFA4L2 notably increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, which suppressed the viability of NSCLC. Conclusion In conclusion, overexpression of NDUFA4L2 is a key factor for maintaining NSCLC growth, suggesting that mitochondrial NDUFA4L2 may be a potential target for the treatment of lung cancer.read more

Hypoxia Promotes Resistance to EGFR Inhibition in NSCLC Cells via the Histone Demethylases, LSD1 and PLU-1
TL;DR: This study documents that long-term, moderate hypoxia promotes resistance to the EGFR TKI, gefitinib, in the NSCLC cell line HCC827, which harbors an activating EGFR mutation, and suggests that combination of therapy with EG FR TKIs and LSD1 inhibitors may offer an attractive therapeutic strategy for NSCLCs.

TL;DR: It is shown that the interaction between human pVHL and a specific domain of the HIF-1α subunit is regulated through hydroxylation of a proline residue by an enzyme the authors have termed Hif-α prolyl-hydroxylase (HIF-PH).

TL;DR: It is indicated that the interaction between HIF-1 and pVHL is iron dependent, and that it is necessary for the oxygen-dependent degradation of HIF α-subunits, which may underlie the angiogenic phenotype of VHL-associated tumours.
