概要 NADPH oxidase (Nox) 4 produces H2O2 by forming a heterodimer with p22phox and is involved in hemangioendothelioma development through monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) upregulation. Here, we show that Nox4 protein levels were maintained by p22phox in hemangioendothelioma cells and Nox4 protein stability was dependent on p22phox coexpression. Conversely, the degradation of Nox4 monomer was enhanced by p22phox knockdown. Under hypoxic conditions in hemangioendothelioma cells, p22phox was downregulated at the mRNA and protein levels. Downregulation of p22phox protein resulted in the enhanced degradation of Nox4 protein in hypoxia-treated hemangioendothelioma cells. In contrast, Nox2, a Nox isoform, was not altered at the protein level under hypoxic conditions. Nox2 exhibited a higher affinity for p22phox compared with Nox4, suggesting that when coexpressed with Nox4 in the same cells, Nox2 acts as a competitor. Nox2 knockdown restored Nox4 protein levels partially reduced by hypoxic treatment. Thus, Nox4 protein levels were attenuated in hypoxia-treated cells resulting from p22phox depletion. MCP-1 secretion was decreased concurrently with hypoxia-induced Nox4 downregulation compared with that under normoxia.
