This hydroxylation serves as a recognition motif for the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, leading to ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of HIF-1 ( Figure 4 ), the activity of PHD enzymes is inhibited due to the lack of oxygen, an essential co-substrate for their enzymatic function ( Figure 4 Figure 5 The downstream effects of HIF activation are extensive and include upregulation of various genes and pathways ( Figure 6 ), involved in glycolysis, lactate shuttling & acid-base balance, Angiogenesis & Vascular Remodeling, erythropoiesis & iron metabolism, cell survival & stress response, lipid & amino acid metabolism and Immune Modulation ( Figure 6 Although HIF-2 shares structural similarity with HIF-1, it governs a distinct yet partially overlapping repertoire of target genes ( In contrast to HIF-1 and HIF-2, the biological functions of hypoxia-inducible factor-3 (HIF-3) are less well characterized and appear to be more context-dependent ( HIF3A gene and undergoes extensive alternative splicing, generating multiple isoforms with divergent transcriptional activities ( Among the best-studied HIF-3 isoforms is inhibitory PAS domain protein (IPAS), which suppresses hypoxia-induced transcription by sequestering HIF-1 and blocking HIF-1/ heterodimer formation ( in vitro and in vivo models confirm that HIF-31 drives liver metastatic colonization, while its suppression reduces metastatic burden ( in vitro and suppresses metastasis in vivo , while restoration of RhoC signaling rescues these phenotypes
Research has shown that isoflavones and flavonoids of BP restrain the cell cycle at G1 and or G2/M stages and upregulate the expression of pro-apoptotic genes and dysfunction of the capability of enzymes associated with the growth and development of tumor cells while hindering the activity of intermediates such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and also inhibiting the production of ROS (177, 178)
