19091749 Liu Y, Veena CK, Morgan JB, Mohammed KA, Jekabsons MB, Nagle DG, Zhou YD: Methylalpinumisoflavone inhibits hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) activation by simultaneously targeting multiple pathways. J Biol Chem. 2009 Feb 27;284(9):5859-68. Epub 2008 Dec 17.

Mechanistic studies indicate that, unlike rotenone and other mitochondrial inhibitors, compound 2 represents the first small molecule that inhibits HIF-1 activation by simultaneously suppressing mitochondrial respiration and disrupting protein translation in vitro.

This elevated ROS production was inhibited by NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium (DPI) and mitochondria electron chain inhibitor rotenone in the cells.
To analyze the functional relevance of ROS production, we showed that ROS regulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in ovarian cancer cells.

Because mitochondria have been postulated to be involved in the regulation of HIF-1, we tested the effects of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I inhibitors, rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenylpiridinium (MPP (+)), on hypoxic-induced accumulation of HIF-1 alpha, the regulated component of the dimer.

An enhancer lying 5' to the mouse Glut-1 gene was found to convey responses both to hypoxia and to the mitochondrial inhibitors, azide and rotenone.
The response to hypoxia was mediated by sequences that contained a functionally critical, although atypical, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 binding site, whereas sequences lying approximately 100 nucleotides 5' to this site, which contained a critical serum response element, conveyed responses to the mitochondrial inhibitors.

The analysis of the transcriptional activity of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) in nuclear extracts showed that HIF-1 activity was induced under hypoxic conditions.
Finally, the treatment of AC16 cells with the HIF-1 inhibitor rotenone in hypoxia inhibited BNP and VEGF release.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) plays an essential role in tumor angiogenesis and growth by regulating the transcription of several genes in response to hypoxic stress and changes in growth factors.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a heterodimeric transcription factor involved in the angiogenic and metabolic responses to tissue hypoxia, has been shown to be activated by insulin in various settings.

Deguelin never affected the transcriptional activity of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1, however, reduced HIF-1 expression, which led to the decrease of vascular endothelial growth factor expression.
