Abstract

Tumor cells respond to hypoxic stress by upregulating a variety of genes involved in glucose uptake, glycolysis, and angiogenesis, all essential to maintaining nutrient availability and intracellular ATP levels. Adenosine monophosphate-dependent kinase (AMPK) is a key sensor for cellular homeostasis and is highly sensitive to changes in AMP:ATP ratios. The two catalytic AMPK alpha isoforms (AMPKalpha1, AMPKalpha2) were investigated with respect to their expression, cellular distribution, and contribution to VEGF expression under hypoxic stress in human U373 glioblastoma cells. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed AMPKalpha1 mRNA to be constitutively expressed in normoxia and hypoxia, whereas AMPKalpha2 mRNA levels were low in normoxia and significantly induced in hypoxia. Fluorescent immunohistochemistry showed that AMPKalpha2 protein redistributed to the nucleus under hypoxia, whereas AMPKalpha1 remained distributed throughout the cell. The AMPK chemical inhibitor, 5-iodotubericidin, effectively repressed the hypoxic induction of VEGF mRNA levels and hypoxia inducible factor-1 dependent transcription. AMPKalpha2 repression with RNA interference reduced hypoxia-induced VEGF mRNA and HIF-1 transcription, whereas AMPKalpha1...Continue Reading

Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor. It contains a population of tumor initiating stem cell-like cells known as cancer stem cells. Investigations are ongoing into these cancer stem cells found in these solid tumors which are highly resistance to treatment. Here is the latest research on cancer stem cells in glioblastoma.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
