CDK1 contributes to HSP90-mediated HIF1α stabilization. (A) Inhibition of CDK1 decreases the level of HIF1α in RCC4 cells independently of VHL. Cells were treated with Ro-3306 (5 μM) or MG132 (1 μM) or both as indicated for 6 h under normoxia. (B) CDK1 inhibition (for 6 h under hypoxia; 0.5% O2) impairs the interaction between HIF1α and HSP90. HCT116 cells were treated with MG132 and cultured in hypoxia for 6 h with or without Ro-3306. Cells were fixed and lysed for co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Experiment 2 is a repeated experiment performed under the same conditions as in Experiment 1, with an added control (without HA-HIF1α overexpression). (C) CDK1 inhibition partially reversed heat shock-induced HIF1α expression. HCT116 cells were treated at 40 °C with the indicated inhibitors for 6 h. Geldanamycin was used at 2 μM. Intensity was measured compared to β-Actin in each lane. G: geldanamycin; R: Ro-3306. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA supplemented with Tukey test. Mean ± SD was shown. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
