A prevalent characteristic of solid tumors is intra-tumoral hypoxia. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) predominantly mediates the adaptive response to O 2  oscillation and is linked to multiple malignant hallmarks. Here we describe a strategy to robustly target HIF1α by dual inhibition of CDK(s) and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). We show that CDK1 may contribute to HSP90-mediated HIF1α stabilization. CDK1 knockdown enhances the decrease of HIF1α by HSP90 inhibition. Dual inhibition of CDK1 and HSP90 significantly increases apoptosis and synergistically inhibits cancer cell viability. Similarly, targeting CDK4/6 using FDA-approved inhibitors in combination with HSP90 inhibition shows a class effect on HIF1α inhibition and cancer cell viability suppression not only in colorectal but also in various other cancer types, including  Rb -deficient cancer cells. Dual inhibition of CDK4/6 and HSP90 suppresses tumor growth in vivo. In summary, combined targeting of CDK(s) (CDK1 or CDK4/6) and HSP90 remarkably inhibits the expression level of HIF1α and shows promising anti-cancer efficacy with therapeutic potential.
