Abstract

Minocycline induces HIF-1α proteasomal degradation under hypoxia in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines.

  • Exposure to minocycline increases the expression of prolyl hydroxylase-2, enhancing the degradation of HIF-1α.
  • Minocycline promotes the interaction between HIF-1α and the von Hippel-Lindau protein, contributing to HIF-1α degradation.
  • The degradation of HIF-1α by minocycline occurs independently of pathways involving phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/Akt/mTOR or Hsp90.
  • Hypoxia-conditioned cells pretreated with minocycline demonstrate reduced expression of hypoxia response element reporters.
  • Minocycline treatment leads to decreased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C/D, matrix metalloproteinase 2, and glucose transporter 1.
  • By reducing VEGF secretion in cancerous cells, minocycline may inhibit neovasculogenesis in endothelial cells.
