Biochem/physiol Actions

Chetomin is a natural metabolite produced by several species of the genus Chaetomium. Chetomin disrupts the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, blockomg the interaction of HIF1α and HIF2α with transcriptional co-activators p300 and cAMP response element binding (CREB) binding protein (CBP), thereby attenuating hypoxia-inducible transcription. Disrupting the ability of tumors to adapt to hypoxia leads to decreased tumor growth; hypoxia can also promote resistance to radiotherapeutics. By both of these mechanisms, chetomin shows promise as a lead compound in antitumor research. Chetomin also suppresses the proliferation of LPS-induced mouse spleen lymphocytes.

Survival strategies adopted by tumor cells in response to a hypoxic stress include activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and autophagy. However, the importance and the function of each molecular response is not well defined. In the present study, we

A series of epipolythiodioxopiperazines in the fungus Chaetomium cochliodes was investigated using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with diode array detection and electrospray quadrupole time-of-flight-type tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ion mode. The fragmentation of protonated molecular ions including low-abundance parent

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is one of the most promising anti-cancer agents, but some tumor types develop resistance to TRAIL. Here, we report that chetomin, an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factors, is a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. TRAIL
