"Translating" tumor hypoxia: unfolded protein response (UPR)-dependent and UPR-independent pathways Koumenis C; Wouters BGMol Cancer Res 2006[Jul]; 4 (7): 423-36Poor oxygenation (hypoxia) is present in the majority of human tumors and is associated with poor prognosis due to the protection it affords to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Hypoxia also elicits multiple cellular response pathways that alter gene expression and affect tumor progression, including two recently identified separate pathways that strongly suppress the rates of mRNA translation during hypoxia. The first pathway is activated extremely rapidly and is mediated by phosphorylation and inhibition of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2alpha. Phosphorylation of this factor occurs as part of a coordinated endoplasmic reticulum stress response program known as the unfolded protein response and activation of this program is required for hypoxic cell survival and tumor growth. Translation during hypoxia is also inhibited through the inactivation of a second eukaryotic initiation complex, eukaryotic initiation factor 4F. At least part of this inhibition is mediated through a Redd1 and tuberous sclerosis complex 1/2-dependent inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin kinase. Inhibition of mRNA translation is hypothesized to affect the cellular tolerance to hypoxia in part by promoting energy homeostasis. However, regulation of translation also results in a specific increase in the synthesis of a subset of hypoxia-induced proteins. Consequently, both arms of translational control during hypoxia influence gene expression and phenotype. These hypoxic response pathways show differential activation requirements that are dependent on the level of oxygenation and duration of hypoxia and are themselves highly dynamic. Thus, the severity and duration of hypoxia can lead to different biological and therapeutic consequences.|*Protein Folding[MESH]|Cell Hypoxia/genetics/physiology[MESH]|Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4F/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neoplasms/*genetics/*metabolism/pathology[MESH]|Phosphorylation[MESH]|Protein Biosynthesis/genetics/*physiology[MESH]|Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2 Protein[MESH]|Tumor Suppressor Proteins/metabolism[MESH]|eIF-2 Kinase/metabolism[MESH] |
