Cyclophilin A (cypA) is overexpressed in many types of carcinomas, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the effect of anoxia, a critical feature of the carcinoma cell microenvironment, on cypA expression in NSCLC is unknown. Here, formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples were collected from 60 subjects with NSCLC. The protein expression levels of cypA and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were evaluated using immunohistochemistry. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that subjects with high cypA expression had remarkably shorter progression-free survival than those with low cypA expression. Furthermore, cypA expression levels were significantly related to HIF-1α expression levels (Spearman’s correlation = 0.34, P &lt; 0.0001). To further assess the effect of cypA, an anoxic carcinoma cell model was established. CypA expression was remarkably upregulated in H1299 and A549 cell lines under hypoxic conditions. Overexpression of cypA restored hypoxia-impaired cell growth and prevented reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell death in hypoxic A549 and H1299 cells. However, these phenotypes were not altered by the inactive R55A mutant of cypA. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that cypA can bind to and degrade the tumor suppressor protein TXNIP in H1299 and A549 cells. Restored TXNIP expression in cypA-overexpressed and hypoxic NSCLC cells led to increased ROS levels and apoptotic cell numbers and decreased cell growth compared with cypA-overexpressed and hypoxic NSCLC cells. These findings indicate that anoxia results in an increase in cypA expression in NSCLC. Additionally, cypA served as an oncogene during hypoxia by interacting with TXNIP.
