Hypoxia‐induced SM22α in A549 cells activates the IGF1R/PI3K/Akt pathway, conferring cellular resistance against chemo‐ and radiation therapy

Abstract: a b s t r a c tChemo-or radiation-resistance in tumors caused by hypoxia often undermines efficacy of cancer therapy. Thus, therapies that overcome cellular resistance during hypoxia are necessary. SM22a is an actin-binding protein found in smooth muscle, fibroblasts, and some epithelium. We demonstrate that SM22a is induced in A549 non-small cell lung carcinoma cells by hypoxia and its overexpression increased chemo-and radiation-resistance. Hypoxia-mediated induction of SM22a expression is hypoxia-inducible … Show more

“…Several studies have shown that AKT is activated by hypoxia in various tumor types [17,23,38,41,45,46]. We have also observed phosphorylated AKT(Ser473) expression specifically in hypoxic areas of head and neck cancer xenografts and patient biopsies ( Fig.…”

“…These HIF-1-inducible genes regulate a multitude of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, angiogenesis, glucose metabolism, and apoptosis [36]. All these cellular processes are important for resistance to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy [38][39][40][41][42]. In addition to HIF-1, hypoxia signaling is mediated via the unfolded protein response (UPR) and the Fig.…”

“…There is a strong link of rapidly altered metabolic activity induced by target inhibition of the IGF-1R signaling pathways in proliferating cells. Through direct interaction with IGF1Rβ, SM22α overexpression enhances tumor cell growth and activates the IGF1R/PI3K/Akt pathway [30,31]. Our results show that IGF2R also regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasive ability.…”

“…Moreover, SAA also changes EMT markers and inhibits transgelin 2 expression. There is strong evidence in the literature of a link between chemoresistance and EMT, which is a critical event in cancer development 22 was also found to be associated with the growth of lung cancer cells 28 . Consistent with these findings, our previous study showed that transgelin 2 was critically involved in the growth of MCF-7/PTX cells 13 transgelin 2 by SAA is likely to be a safer approach for the treatment of breast cancer.…”
