Transcriptional mediators of cell stress pathways, including HIF1α, ATF4, and p53, are key to normal development and play critical roles in disease, including ischemia and cancer. Despite their importance, mechanisms by which pathways mediated by these transcription factors interact with one another are not fully understood. In addressing the controversial role of HIF1α in cardiomyocytes (CMs) during heart development, we discovered a mid-gestational requirement for HIF1α for proliferation of hypoxic CMs, involving metabolic switching and a complex interplay among HIF1α, ATF4, and p53. Loss of HIF1α resulted in activation of ATF4 and p53, the latter inhibiting CM proliferation. Bioinformatic and biochemical analyses revealed unexpected mechanisms by which HIF1α intersects with ATF4 and p53 pathways. Our results highlight previously undescribed roles of HIF1α and interactions among major cell stress pathways that could be targeted to enhance proliferation of CMs in ischemia and may have relevance to other diseases, including cancer.

Although cell-cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis are well accepted as the classic barriers in tumorigenesis, recent studies indicate that metabolic regulation is equally important as a major checkpoint in cancer development. It is well accepted that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent programmed cell death, acts as a new type of tumor suppression mechanism tightly linked with numerous metabolic pathways. SLC7A11 is a transmembrane cystine/glutamate transporter protein that plays a vital role in controlling ferroptosis .

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the primary contributors to cancer-related fatalities, with up to 80% of advanced CRC cases exhibiting mutations in the p53 gene. Unfortunately, the development of new compounds targeting mutant p53 is quite limited. The anticancer effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on various cancers have been reported.

Restoration of the p53 pathway has been a long-term goal in the field of cancer research to treat tumors with mutated p53 and aggressive clinical behavior. p53 pathway restoration in p53-deficient cancers can be achieved by small molecules via p53-dependent or p53-independent processes. Hereafter p53-independent restoration of p53-pathway-signaling in p53-deficient/mutated tumors is referred to as 'restoration of the p53 pathway'.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy that has prompted investigations into new potential therapeutic avenues. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, confers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties. Previous studies have shown that EGCG inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells, however its underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown.

Small molecule-driven JNK activation has been found to induce apoptosis and paraptosis in cancer cells. Herein pharmacological effects of synthetic oxazine (4aS, 7aS)-3-((4-(4‑chloro-2-fluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)-4-phenyl-4, 4a, 5, 6, 7, 7a-hexahydrocyclopenta[e] [1,2]oxazine (FPPO; BSO-07) on JNK-driven apoptosis and paraptosis has been demonstrated in human breast cancer (BC) MDA-MB231 and MCF-7 cells respectively. BSO-07 imparted significant cytotoxicity in BC cells, induced activation of JNK, and increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.
