Abstract: There is accumulating evidence demonstrating that HIF-1 functions as a key regulator of the adaptation responses to hypoxia in cancer tissues. To this evidence, we add that adaptation responses to glucose deprivation plus hypoxia are also necessary for the survival of tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment as cancer tissues are exposed to glucose deprivation as well as hypoxia. We found that adrenomedullin (AM), VEGF, Glut-1, Glut-3, and Hexokinase-2 among 45 hypoxia-inducible genes investigated were expressed at higher levels under glucose-deprived hypoxic conditions than under hypoxic conditions. Glucose deprivation activated the AMPK under normoxia and hypoxia. Compound C, an inhibitor of AMPK, suppressed the expressions of AM and VEGF which had already been enhanced under glucose-deprived hypoxic conditions. siRNAs for both AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 suppressed the expressions of AM and VEGF. HIF-1α protein level and the transcriptional activity of HIF-1 under glucose-deprived hypoxic conditions were thus found to be similar to those under hypoxic conditions. Furthermore, tumor cells in 15 out of 20 human pancreatic cancer tissue specimens were stained by anti-phospho-AMPKα antibody. Our results thus suggest that the enhanced expressions of those genes mediated by the activation of AMPK and HIF-1 therefore play a pivotal role in the tumor formation of pancreatic cancers.
