Objective To study the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor-let (HIF-lct) on radiation- induced autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells. Methods MCF-7 cells were divided into four groups : control ( normoxia, 21% Oxygen) , irradiation (8 Gy X-rays) , hypoxia ( Cobalt chloride, CoCl2 ) and irradiation with hypoxia ( CoC12 ). 150 μmoL/L CoC12 was utilized to induce hypoxic conditions. Western blot was applied to detect the expression of HIF-1α and MAPLC3. MDC and Hoechst staining were used to detect autophagy and apoptosis. Radiosensitivity was detected by cloning formation. The short hairpin interfering RNA (shRNA) retroviral transduction particles targeting HIF-1α was transfeeted into MCF-7 cells to establish HIF-1α knockdown cells, then the radiosensibility, autophagy and apoptosis were detected. Results Compared with control group and irradiation group, the protein level of HIF-1 increased obviously in the normaxia, irradiation, hypoxia and irradiation with hypoxia groups, and the values were 0, 0,1.00,1.89, respectively. The expression levels of MAPLC3 were markedly up-regulated in irradiation, hypoxia and irradiation with hypoxia groups as compared with control, and the ratios of LC3II/LC3I were1.15, 1.73, 2.38 and 3.60, respectively. The radiosensitivity of MCF-7 cells decreased in the following order: normoxia with 3MA 〉 normoxia 〉 hypoxia with 3MA 〉 hypoxia. HIF-1α knockdown cell (pSUPER-HIF-1αRi) and vector control were constructed. After treatment with COC12, survival fraction of MCF-7-pSUPER was significantly higher than that of control ( t = 3. 080, 6. 946, 6. 658, 6. 380, P 〈 0. 05) , and radiosensitivity was down-regulated after irradiation, but there was no significant difference between normoxia and hypoxia in survival fraction of MCF-7-pSUPER-HIF-1α Ri. After treatment of irradiation or hypoxia, the autophagic fractions in MCF-7-pSUPER-HIF-1α Ri significantly decreased, reduced by 21.1% , 25.5% , 15.5% , respectively( t = 4. 635,4. 738, 6.
