Camptothecin-miRNA

ABSTRACT: DNA Topoisomerase I inhibition by Camptothecin (CPT) derivatives can impair the hypoxia-induced cell transcriptional response. In the present work, we determined molecular aspects of the mechanism of CPT effects on HIF-1alpha activity in human cancer cells. In particular, we provide evidence that low concentrations of CPT, without interfering with HIF-1alpha mRNA levels, can reduce HIF-1alpha protein expression and activity. As luciferase assays demonstrated the involvement of the HIF-1alpha mRNA 3M-^RUTR in CPT-induced impairment of HIF-1alpha protein regulation, we performed microarray analysis to identify CPT-induced modification of miRNAs targeting HIF-1alpha mRNA under hypoxic-mimetic conditions. The selected miRNAs were then further analyzed demonstrating a role for miR-17-5p and miR
