Down-regulation of HIF-1α inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway and VEGF expression
In view of the high incidence of gastric cancer and the functions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), our study aimed to investigate the functionality of HIF-1α in gastric cancer, and to explore the diagnostic and prognostic values of HIF-1α for this disease. Expression of HIF-1α in tumor tissu...

description | In view of the high incidence of gastric cancer and the functions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), our study aimed to investigate the functionality of HIF-1α in gastric cancer, and to explore the diagnostic and prognostic values of HIF-1α for this disease. Expression of HIF-1α in tumor tissues and adjacent healthy tissues as well as serum collected from both gastric cancer patients and normal healthy controls was detected by qRT-PCR. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier method. HIF-1α siRNA silencing cell lines were established. Effects of HIF-1α siRNA silencing as well as PI3K activator sc3036 on proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells were detected by Cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay, and Transwell migration and invasion assay. Effects of HIF-1α siRNA silencing on AKT and VEGF were detected by Western blot. Expression of HIF-1α was significantly down-regulated in tumor tissues than in adjacent healthy tissues in most gastric cancer patients. Serum levels of HIF-1α were also higher in gastric cancer patients than in normal healthy people. Serum HIF-1α showed promising diagnostic and prognostic values for gastric cancer. HIF-1α siRNA silencing inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells, while PI3K activator sc3036 treatment reduced those inhibitory effects. Down-regulation of HIF-1α can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer possibly by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway and VEGF expression. |
