Role of glycosylation in hypoxia-driven cell migration and invasion

Cell Adhesion & Migration
Cecilia ArriagadaVicente A Torres

Abstract

Hypoxia, a common condition of the tumor microenvironment, induces changes in the proteome of cancer cells, mainly via HIF-1, a transcription factor conformed by a constitutively expressed β-subunit and an oxygen-regulated α-subunit. In hypoxia, HIF-1α stabilizes, forms the heterodimeric complex with HIF-1β, and binds to Hypoxia Response Elements (HRE), activating gene expression to promote metabolic adaptation, cell invasion and metastasis. Furthermore, the focal adhesion kinase, FAK, is activated in hypoxia, promoting cell migration by mechanisms that remain unclear. In this context, integrins, which are glycoproteins required for cell migration, are possibly involved in hypoxia-induced FAK activation. Evidence suggests that cancer cells have an altered glycosylation metabolism, mostly by the expression of glycosyltransferases, however the relevance of glycosylation is poorly explored in the context of hypoxia. Here, we discuss the role of hypoxia in cancer, and its effects on protein glycosylation, with emphasis on integrins and cell migration.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

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.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
