Tumor-forming endothelial cells have highly elevated levels of Nox-4 that release
H2O2 into the nucleus, which is generally not compatible with cell survival. We
sought to identify compensatory mechanisms that enable tumor-forming endothelial
cells to survive and proliferate under these conditions. Ape-1/ref-1 (Apex-1) is
a multifunctional protein that promotes DNA binding of redox-sensitive
transcription factors, such as AP-1, and repairs oxidative DNA damage. A
validated mouse endothelial cell (EOMA) tumor model was used to demonstrate that
Nox-4-derived H2O2 causes DNA oxidation that induces Apex-1 expression. Apex-1
functions as a chaperone to keep transcription factors in a reduced state. In
EOMA cells Apex-1 enables AP-1 binding to the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1
(mcp-1) promoter and expression of that protein is required for endothelial cell
tumor formation. Intraperitoneal injection of the small molecule inhibitor E3330,
which specifically targets Apex-1 redox-sensitive functions, resulted in a 50%
decrease in tumor volume compared with mice injected with vehicle control (n = 6
per group), indicating that endothelial cell tumor proliferation is dependent on
Apex-1 expression. These are the first reported results to establish Nox-4
induction of Apex-1 as a mechanism promoting endothelial cell tumor formation.
