Souhrn: Hypoxia is a prominent feature of different solid tumor types. A central component of hypoxic adaptation is the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a key transcriptional regulator of hypoxia that orchestrates the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in a plethora of cellular processes. Considering the multiple roles of HIF-1 in cancer, interest in novel small-molecule inhibitors of the HIF-1 pathway has steadily increased over the past 10 years. However, despite extensive research, no specific inhibitor of HIF-1 has been brought to the market, making the field still ripe for further exploration. The goal of the present work is to utilize the potential of a combination of 2D and 3D cellular models for identification and characterization of inhibitors of HIF-1 and/or HIF-1 pathway by screening in 2D cultures, and lightsheet microscopy and mass spectrometry studies in spheroid cultures.

Souhrn: Hypoxia is one of the major factors causing resistance to microtubule-stabilizing drugs (MSDs) and other non-microtubule drugs used in chemotherapy. Hypoxia results in changes in tubulin conformation, expression of tubulin isotypes and metabolic pathways that make cancer cells less susceptible to paclitaxel, a taxane used extensively in the treatment of solid tumors. Recent cellular studies have shown that non-taxane MSDs with a similar mode of microtubule stabilization to paclitaxel is more effective in hypoxic cancer cells than paclitaxel. Due to a different microtubule-binding site, we hypothesize that non-taxane MSDs may have a better cytotoxic effect in cancer cells under hypoxia. The goal of this project is to study the anti-cancer effect of non-taxane MSDs in hypoxic ovarian and cervical cancer cell models.
