Nitric oxide is a factor in the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1? in cancer: role of free radical formation
Nitric oxide is a factor in the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1? in cancer: role of free radical formation
Widespread expression of the ?-subunit of hypoxia-induciblefactor (HIF-1?) was observed in samples of human oral squamous cell carcinoma. In all the cases, this was accompanied by a widespread distribution of nitric oxide (NO) synthases (NOS). Furthermore, in three human cell lines derived from human oral squamous cell carcinoma, the accumulation of HIF-1? was prevented either by inhibition of NOS activity with the nonspecific NOS inhibitor NG- monomethyl-L-arginine or by the antioxidants N-acetyl-Lcysteine and ascorbic acid. We suggest that, in certain forms of cancer, NO might be responsible for the accumulation of HIF-1? by a mechanism dependent on free radicals.

Abstract
Widespread expression of the ?-subunit of hypoxia-induciblefactor (HIF-1?) was observed in samples of human oral squamous cell carcinoma. In all the cases, this was accompanied by a widespread distribution of nitric oxide (NO) synthases (NOS). Furthermore, in three human cell lines derived from human oral squamous cell carcinoma, the accumulation of HIF-1? was prevented either by inhibition of NOS activity with the nonspecific NOS inhibitor NG- monomethyl-L-arginine or by the antioxidants N-acetyl-Lcysteine and ascorbic acid. We suggest that, in certain forms of cancer, NO might be responsible for the accumulation of HIF-1? by a mechanism dependent on free radicals.
